12st 0lb |
Two wins in 2023, at Southwell in February (2m, good) and over C&D in April (good to soft); not fared quite so well since although signs of a return to form when third over C&D last time (soft); on a good mark now and not out of it. |

Won this race last year and is now 2lb lower; however, this 12yo has plenty to prove having struggled on his three runs this season. |

Mixed results since switched to fences but his most recent effort was a sound one, finishing clear second behind Ardmayle over C&D on good ground; major contender off the same mark, granted a similar display. |

Soft ground may be a negative and well beaten at Catterick 17 days ago, but he might have needed that first outing in nearly a year; in good form last winter, including a win at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft), and no surprise if he bounces back and is in the shake-up; stable won this last year. |

Won this race off a 10lb lower mark in 2025 (good to soft); creditable second at Market Rasen eight days later but hasn't run since; could go well if fully tuned up after nearly a year off. |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |

Confirmed the promise of his reappearance fourth here when beating an odds-on shot seeking a four-timer at Catterick last week (2m3f, good to soft; pair clear); big chance under penalty. |

11st 12lb |
Won three in a row early last year (2m4f-2m6f, good/good to soft) before keeping on well for second over 3m1f at Cheltenham (good); returned from break with good second at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month and she's high on the list today. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time chase winner (good/good to soft; once over C&D); absent since very respectable third at Aintree (2m4f, good) last May but this race is easier and she features prominently in calculations. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 5 |
16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Back in prime form towards end of last season, winning three in a row (2m4f-2m6f) before creditable second in valuable series final at Cheltenham (3m1f, good); ought to be right in the thick of things again here. |

Acts on heavy; 4-6 at Hexham, including a win in this race three years ago; out of sorts for new yard this term but first-time blinkers may prompt a revival off reduced mark. |

13th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-9 over fences and 0-19 overall; ran well from the front when second here (2m2f, good) in December, but is effectively 5lb higher from further out of the weights today and returns here after a 63l defeat last month. |

16th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |

Looks a modest maiden but has proved generally consistent over fences, most recently second at Taunton in the race that Folly Gate would have probably won but for unseating; could go well again. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Has been in the doldrums since a chase win here (2m, good) in December and he's been tailed off back over hurdles at this track (3m/2m4f) in his last two starts; mark continues to fall but he has plenty to prove back up in trip. |

Recorded his second chase win here (2m, good) in December but has form figures of PP44 since and that latest was fourth was a tailed-off effort at this track; now 1lb lower than for last win but has plenty to prove back over hurdles at this trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Always comes with risk, given his jumping often lacks fluency and that he apparently needs to be held up in rear, but he's effectively 7lb lower than when keeping on well for second in valuable Ascot handicap (2m1f, good) in November and will be suited by this return to forecast good ground; blinkered for last two runs; cheekpieces tried today. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
None too consistent and was only fifth in this last year; however, very capable of being competitive on his best form and the first-time blinkers appeared to be working until he clouted two out here a month ago in the race won by Mighty Bandit; could run well. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Successful (off 7lb lower) in this contest two years ago but needs to rebound, having performed poorly in latest start; chance partly depends on how well he reacts to added blinkers. |
10/1 |
