16th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
9yo who has won just one of his 17 chases but he's finished second in nine of them, including at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) in March; also effective on good ground and he won here over hurdles; not ruled out on return. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Thorough stayer with nine wins on his CV; not an easy one to predict nowadays and failed to build upon his encouraging seasonal debut when never dangerous at Chepstow last month but has his headgear switched today and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

11th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran with nine wins to his name and, with cheekpieces back on, he ran well for a long way at Warwick 17 days ago (good to soft); that was encouraging after a lengthy break but he's no certainty to be as good again. |

22nd May 2023 Good 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Inconsistent nowadays but proved he retains a significant chunk of ability as a 12yo when winning Devon National at Exeter (3m6f, good) in February and is now only 2lb above that mark; could have a say. |

19th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Thorough stayer who proved he retains a significant chunk of ability as a 12yo when winning Devon National at Exeter (3m6f, good) in February; again ran well over that C&D last month but is not very consistent and may not be seen to the same effect here. |

3rd 8 |
26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 over C&D when emerging from off the pace to win ridden out last month; for one who struggles with his consistency, it was encouraging that he posted the same RPR when third to a progressive winner at Wetherby (3m7f); back here he has to be of strong interest. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual chase winner last season, latterly at Bangor (3m5f, soft); not in same form this term but might have found good ground too lively when last of four finishers at Wetherby (3m7f) this month; might be the answer. |

10th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Tends to race rather lazily but came from off the pace to win this race by 16l last year (soft ground; second-time cheekpieces) and has made late headway on both outings this season (3m6f/3m; no headgear); no surprise if he makes a bold defence of his crown with the cheekpieces now refitted. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
7-52; enjoyed the run of the race, making all, at Wetherby (2m4f, soft; 18-1; from 6lb lower) on penultimate start; ran to a similar level (third) behind the newly blinkered Rath Gaul Hill back there subsequently; no issue with Newcastle; player with Alice Stevens claiming 3lb. |

3rd 1 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
His last two wins have come over C&D (soft), the latest in January when last seen; also effective on good ground; this 10yo is inconsistent and has never won off a mark this high, but he comfortably made all last time and could well make another bold bid if he's on another going day. |

29th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Got up close home for C&D (good) win under Edward Vaughan in April and, if anything, ought to be better suited by today's forecast slower ground; contender if recent reappearance run has done him good. |
