23rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained back-to-back handicap wins last winter (2m/2m2f, soft/good to soft) and a number of the fences were omitted when he was third at Fontwell, which wouldn't have played to his strengths; absent since clearly not giving his running at Kelso in March; returns from a break with his yard having winners; respected. |

Won two in a row this winter (2m/2m2f, soft/good to soft) and a number of the fences were omitted when he was third at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) latest, which wouldn't have played to his strengths; solid claims. |

11st 11lb |
2m1f chase win off today's mark in 2023 is his contribution to the Greatrex yard's 40% strike-rate with chasers here; mostly solid efforts this year since returning from absence, and the slight rise back up in trip is a likely plus having found it all happening too quickly at Plumpton latest (cheekpieces added, retained). |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Scored three times over fences (at up to 2m4f) in the first half of 2023; quite lightly raced since but comes here on the back of a good third of nine in 2m5f handicap chase at Hereford 25 days ago; needs considering with cheekpieces added. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time chase winner who is well handicapped on old form and returned from long absence with fairly encouraging run in February; only third best on merit when well-held second of five at Doncaster (2m3f, good) later that month but still considered here. |

10st 13lb |
High-mileage veteran who looked out of sorts on his final two appearances in 2024; too well handicapped to rule out but younger rivals appeal more; blinkers refitted. |

5th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
On a losing run and in difficulties in three of his last four starts, including behind School For Scandal over C&D in October and at Fakenham 16 days ago; has been wearing headgear but just a tongue-tie today; work cut out. |

12st 0lb |
Ended last season with two soft-ground wins at Huntingdon (2m4f) and will be fine on the quicker surface here but has been out of form this term (four starts) and needs to turn things around. |

Took this event 12 months ago but he's offered little in three outings this season, beating only one back over C&D last month; has something to prove. |

29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Quite useful in his prime and was a C&D winner last season; very much a force in decline now but ran well for a long way in Class 3 race at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft) last month and now contests a Class 5 handicap for the first time in his career. |

2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 119y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Not the force of old but he tends to come alive here, winning this race in 2020 and going down narrowly (good to soft ground) 12 months ago; mainly in the doldrums since but there were signs of a revival at Plumpton 18 days ago and he's thrown in on his best form despite being 3lb out of the weights. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 |
14th Nov 2022 Good 2m 0f 214y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Not the easiest to predict these days, but he's very well handicapped on his winning form; ran okay at Fontwell (2m2f, soft) when considering an ordinary record when fresh and going without headgear (now returns) that has served him well in the past; chance. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Third at Wincanton in February and not beaten too far in two subsequent starts but 0-13 in career and not a very convincing performer. |

4th 10 |
27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Placed off a reduced mark at Wincanton (2m5f, good; 33-1) in February; may have had stamina issues over 3m here last time but he's an inconsistent maiden (0-12) and others are more solid. |
12/1 |

2nd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |

took keen hold, midfield, bumped rival after 4 out, mistake 3 out, pushed along and headway before 2 out, ridden and weakened approaching last |
