15th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
All starts on soft or slower; displayed promise in both Irish points (3m) in 2020 and returned from a long absence with a good second here (2m5f, soft) last December; soundly beaten at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) since but leading claims if rediscovering the penultimate form now back down in trip. |

11st 4lb |
Irish point winner in March 2020; good second in novice hurdle at Wetherby (2m5f) four weeks ago when making rules debut and back from 993-day absence; possibilities if building on that effort. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 0y |
10st 7lb |
0-14 over hurdles but has run well at Wexford the last twice at 3m on good and good to yielding ground; has struggled in previous starts on softer than good so may need the forecast rain to miss. |

Maiden has run well recently without really threatening to get that breakthrough success; beaten over 8l when fourth at this venue on latest; now tried in a hood; yard won a division of this last year. |

10st 12lb |
Three-time chase winner who enjoys good ground and returned to form with a solid third at Carlisle (3m); off the same mark he merits attention. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who is 3-6 over fences and was a highly commendable fifth in Sandown's London National (3m4f, soft) before a puzzling effort when only 6-4 at Haydock; strong contender on that penultimate effort. |

30th Dec 2024 Heavy 3m 4f 97y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won his first three chase starts earlier this year (2m6f/3m, soft/heavy) and he reappeared with a fair fifth at Sandown (3m4f, soft) this month; could improve for that latest outing and he's one of two for a trainer with a fine record in this race; likely player. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

Yet to win over fences; fair run having had a wind op at Doncaster last time (3m, soft) and could go well off his current good mark. |
3/1 |

3rd 5 |
5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last May and runs off 8lb lower today; however, he struggled on his four starts towards the end of last year; major turnaround required on first run since wind surgery. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Stuck to his task very well when second at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in May but that took his record over fences to 0-7 and he may find this race too competitive; returns without the cheekpieces worn in his three previous races. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |
7/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Only previous win was over 3m but off this mark; stopped the rot when beaten 5l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby and he's effective at this trip. |

Best form when 5l second over 2m7f here in June (good) when last seen; should go well despite running over a shorter trip. |
