16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
0-6 during his last campaign but he dropped down the weights and returned with encouraging second to a handicap blot at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft); could build on that latest run and he's one to consider. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Eight-time chase winner at up 3m1f but he's well into the veteran stage now and has struggled in three points this year; this looks tough on these terms back over regulation fences and others are preferred. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Looked rather gone at the game last winter so connections and rider Jack Power have done brilliantly to get his enthusiasm back at his age; he completed the hat-trick a shade cosily at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; won on soft twice in midwinter) in March and another win is on the cards. |

Quite useful for Dan Skelton a few years ago but his only win since 2021 came in a two-runner point and was well beaten in his last two points. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Very well handicapped on old chasing form and seemed to have turned a corner when fourth over hurdles at Ludlow (3m, good) in April but last month's Huntingdon fouth was a rather laboured effort and others in this field have more persuasive profiles; won't mind what the weather does. |
14/1 |

21st May 2024 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Lost his way over fences last season and was safely held when back over hurdles in February but last month's staying-on fourth at Ludlow (3m, good; about 6l behind Planet Legend) was much more encouraging, and he remains very well handicapped on older form. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Ended a long losing sequence in 3m2f handicap chase at Haydock in April; up 4lb but stable is going well so he can make his presence felt on his seasonal return. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
A strong stayer but with a strike-rate of only 2-17 over fences and excuses are wearing thin; on the plus side, they were solid enough efforts on last two starts (3m4f/3m6f) and he nearly won off this mark on his reappearance (3m2f). |
9/2 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled on heavy ground two starts ago (first-time cheekpieces) but quickly got back on track with battling second at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) this month; remains on a workable mark and good ground also suits; ought to make his presence felt again. |

29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Below par over fences on final two runs last season and same story on sole run this term in November; however, he's dropped down the weights and the forecast heavy ground is right up his street; reverts to hurdles; respected. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Grade 2 novice hurdle winner in January 2021 and he scored twice over fences at Haydock last winter (2m/2m4f, soft/heavy); below par on final two starts last season and same story on reappearance here in November, but he may have needed that last run and is not ruled out off a handy mark. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (2m, yielding) in Ireland for Gordon Elliott last season but was pulled up on his chase/stable debut in January and has finished in rear in both subsequent runs (2m4f); still early days over fences but he needs to raise his game on this step up to 3m. |

1st Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (2m, yielding) in Ireland for Gordon Elliott last season; pulled up on stable/chase/handicap debut in January but ran well for a long way at Sandown (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago and there's a decent chance he can take another step forward here. |

11th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 10y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Soft-ground point winner who won a 2m maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last March for Gordon Elliott; beaten soon after halfway on chase/stable debut at Wetherby (11-2) six weeks ago, returning with an irregular heartbeat; has questions to answer after that, but it's too soon to be writing him off. |
