Added to his fine Huntingdon record when runner-up over 2m4f (good to soft) 13 days ago; claims if showing up in similar form. |

10st 12lb |
Could so easily have been chasing a hat-trick in this race having won it two years ago and gone down by just a neck to Lounge Lizard last year; returns again on a competitive mark and he wasn't far away last time at Ludlow despite some mistakes; respected. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Trained by David Bridgwater to win the 2024 Sussex National at Plumpton and nearly win it last term, both on soft; has made a solid start for James Owen this term, notably with a strong-finishing win here (3m6f, good to soft) but he was also sixth in the Welsh National last time; each-way player. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
First and a close second in last two runnings of the Sussex National at Plumpton (extended 3m4f, soft); turned for home with a place chance in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f; finished eighth) last time and 4m is worth a go, but this company looks too demanding. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, and his follow-up bid off this mark was respectable back there 20 days ago; capable off this mark but not without risk. |
9/2 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark over C&D (good; 4-1) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but remains well treated on old form and is versatile ground-wise; key player. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who hasn't looked like adding to that on recent efforts, although latest was more encouraging over C&D; well treated on past form but needs to step up. |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Undefeated in four small-field 3m open points (good/good to firm), the successes around the sharp left-handers at Higham and Fakenham particularly relevant in today's context; can lead but needn't, and won't want for experience of regulation fences (24 chase starts); player. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Better over fences than hurdles so encouraging to see him win over the smaller obstacles last month before chasing home a hot Bowen-trained favourite over C&D two weeks ago; should go well despite the 3lb rise. |

Winning hurdler who is 0-7 over fences and the best of those runs was the first; has been all over the shop trip-wise and cheekpieces did nothing for him last time. |

Has not kicked on from his promising chase debut fourth at Bangor (2m4f, good to soft) last October; however, 3m may have stretched him the last twice and he's not discounted off a reduced mark now back down in trip. |

6th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Two 2m5f chase wins (good) in small fields in early 2022 but had some disheartening results since, including when back on good ground two starts ago; down weights and worth watching in the market. |

9th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Badly out of sorts this term and the return to good ground, on which he had a good record, failed to spark any revival on latest outing; had a 15lb higher mark this time last year. |

Badly out of sorts on slow ground this term; however, he's 3-4 on good going and looks interesting returned to forecast sound surface, with a revival possible; 8lb below last winning mark. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Yet to add to his chase win in January 2023 but was in pretty good form when last seen in the spring; held share of the lead at final fence before fading into fourth at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May and resumes on a 2lb lower mark; also suited by soft/heavy ground; big player if tuned up after break. |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Inconsistent since his win off 3lb higher at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in early 2023; ran well for a long way when third at Southwell last time but was 9l behind God's Own Getaway and that took his chase record to 1-9; others preferred. |
