Last win was off 18lb higher in March 2023; returns to a more suitable trip than the 3m last time but ran just the one race of any real note last year and he's an 11yo now. |

Mark has never been more accommodating in seven seasons with these connections, and although winless beyond 2m6f under rules does stay further; diminishing returns since May's Newton Abbot second, however. |

Had looked limited until running away with a C&D handicap two weeks ago on the back of wind surgery (second run in a tongue-tie); that was after an absence of 350 days so this is a quick turnaround, but a 6lb rise should be manageable. |

In good form last winter, including a win in a 2m2f handicap at Exeter; three non-completions this season and, although the return to hurdling can help after chases on last two starts, others look more persuasive. |

Did not show a great deal off lowly marks for Micky Hammond last season and is now 0-12 overall; blinkers the headgear of choice today; 5lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
The consistency of his summer 2024 campaign has long deserted him, the return to the mark of October's Exeter win (2m2f, good to firm) owed to three poor runs since; others convince more. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Four-time winner over fences including here (about 2m 3f, good) in 2024; last ran over hurdles when second at Wincanton (about 3m, good to soft) and he returns to this sphere after a couple of errors at Plumpton last month; respected. |

Four-time chase winner (2m3f/3m1f) in 2023 and 2024, two of them here, and shaped promisingly on hurdles return in December after a long absence; left behind a below-par run over fences later that month with a short-head defeat at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; back up 2lb but needs respecting with course form. |

Won three out of four chases in October-December 2024 (including C&D, good to soft; handles softer) and was an encouraging second over hurdles here (about 3m) on his comeback from a year's absence; return to fences didn't go well at Taunton later that month but could bounce back following two months off. |

Yet to show any significant promise after six hurdling starts, the last twice in handicaps for current stable (2m3f/2m7f); needs to find a good chunk of improvement from somewhere; 1lb out of the handicap. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Modest for Tom Lacey and beaten 60l on first start for Rebecca Menzies at Catterick (2m3f Class 5 mares' handicap) last December; tongue-tie newly applied off a six-month absence; no obvious reason to anticipate an upturn in fortunes. |
