25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Returned from a break with narrow win at Uttoxter (2m4f, good) in October but pulled up on both starts since, latterly at last month's Cheltenham Festival; younger rivals have much more persuasive profiles. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
A 9yo won it in 2019 but it's stretching the imagination to see this 11yo prevail, even though he did so at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in October and soft ground was a valid excuse at Newbury (2m4f) in November; off since. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Grand servant to the yard with five wins in this sphere, the latest at Ascot (2m5f, soft) in December off 2lb lower; well held since and it's hard to see him being able to give weight away to these younger rivals. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran who is usually ridden these days by Elliott England, including for a 2m5f Ludlow win last February and a C&D win (4lb higher today) in December; 33-1 when tailed off at Kempton five weeks ago but no shock if he surges back to form today in search of his third C&D win. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Veteran who goes well for Elliott England, gaining his second success for this rider in conditionals' event at Ascot (2m5f, soft) in December; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he'll need more off 5lb higher. |

Well below best over fences and hurdles since back from two-year absence; has had wind surgery since pulled up on latest start in January but has it to prove at present. |

1st Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner (2m/2m5f, both on soft); off for almost two years after his Cheltenham win in October 2020; yet to prove he retains that ability in three starts this season; handy mark but revival needed. |
33/1 |

9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 3 |

Won 2m5f handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (soft) in November 2020 but he was off for nearly two years afterwards and has struggled switched to chasing in his two runs this autumn; on last winning mark back over hurdles but has some questions to answer and needs a major revival. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten on first two starts for David Pipe and was just a respectable sixth at Newbury (2m4f, good) last month; continues to slip down the weights but has more to prove than several of these. |

4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won Taunton seller on final start for Gordon Elliott but out of his depth in 2m handicaps for new yard and has some stamina queries on form at about this trip nearly two years ago; reservations for now; tongue-tie added. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 2 |

Easily won a C&D seller (good) in December on final run for Gordon Elliott and it was a competitive handicap at Sandown (2m, soft) in which he was tailed off on last month's stable debut; back on better ground but it's hard to be overly confident after last time. |

3rd Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Not the force of old but seemed to have benefited from a wind op when close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't run as badly as 28l defeat might suggest at Perth (2m4f, good) last time, having made a mid-race jumping error; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here. |

Not the force of old and the step back up in trip isn't sure to suit; however, after a wind op he returned to form with a close second off his reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, and is entitled to respect. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice on slow ground over hurdles (2m3f/2m4f) towards the end of last year but he has a mixed record since; perked up with a fair third over C&D (good) in June but he failed to back that up at Worcester and others are preferred; cheekpieces reapplied. |

13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Dual-purpose veteran who gained his latest win in 2m2f marathon on soft ground in April 2023; placed under Margot Scudamore at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December but this year's AW form is very uninspiring. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Ran his best race for this yard when second to Docpickedme in a three-finisher race at Doncaster (3m, good) but Newbury was underwhelming even when taking into account the drop back to 2m4f; not easily recommended on the back of that. |
16/1 |

10th 7 |
4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Handily treated and he ran his best race for this yard when second of three finishers at Doncaster recently (3m, good); his best form these days is at that trip though so he needs to show he still has what it takes at 2m4f. |
6/1 |

9th Feb 2023 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |

Has dropped to a mark 9lb lower than when going very close at Cheltenham (3m, good) last April and a market check is advised, but he's been a long way below his best on his three starts for this yard; major turnaround needed. |

11st 10lb |
Hat-trick of wins in early 2022, the middle leg in this race (soft; subsequent Cheltenham win on good); hasn't been in the same form this winter but he ran more promisingly than the distance beaten suggests at Uttoxeter recently and is now only just above his latest winning mark; respected. |

11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Signed off last season with a hat-trick of wins at about 2m4f, all of them under Isabel Williams; yet to replicate that form this term and the handicapper has eased him only 2lb in the process; others appeal more. |
