12th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Acts on heavy ground; the only C&D winner in this field, ran well in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham (3m) most recently and represents a trainer who landed this prize two years ago; therefore has respected credentials and cannot be dismissed. |

11st 7lb |
Strong traveller who has won two small-field handicaps this season but Stay Away Fay had too much for him in 3m Sandown Grade 2 on soft ground in December; pulled up in Kauto Star at Kempton later that month on his other attempt at Graded level; playing for minor honours unless his form takes a leap forward. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 110y |
11st 9lb |
Two of three hurdles victories have come over C&D, including last time when winning off a mark of 109 (good); a pair of decent runs in defeat in prior chasing starts; he's in fine spirits at the moment and loves this track so has a lot going for him but softer conditions would pose a question. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Chasing the last twice, going close over 2m7f here and then a rallying third at Tramore (2m6f); won back-to-back handicap hurdles earlier this year but his mark took a knock and those recent chasing exploits were off much lower ratings; can still run well with a solid course record. |
3/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Gained back-to-back wins over hurdles in April/May, here off 88 (21.5f, yielding) and off 100 at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); now rated 109 over timber; denied by a head off lower chase mark by Thehairyfella on latest; up 3lb for that but good chance off 19lb lower chase mark. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Posted some good efforts when cheekpieces were added towards the end of last season, perhaps most notably when second at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, and his run at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better than eventual 33l defeat suggests; one to consider. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 under rules but posted some pretty good efforts in cheekpieces towards end of last season, most recently when second from out of the weights at Kelso (2m4f, good) one month ago; can make his presence felt off correct mark here. |

Made it 2-4 over fences when making all at Perth (2m4f, good) in July when last seen; won on testing ground over hurdles early in career; open to further improvement in this sphere and he's respected up 6lb. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't had much racing and he came back from a spell pointing to win a four-runner hunter chase at this track in May; found life tougher back in handicap company when fourth of nine here (also 3m, good) the following month; this drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus. |

Won this last year (heavy) and good second here (2m7f, soft) in January; also effective on good ground; failed to stay 4m1f in the Eider here in February and could play a leading role now back down in distance. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

28-1 when a weakener at Wetherby (2m5f, soft) and unlikely to be anywhere near good enough to trouble the best of these. |

31st Mar 2023 Soft 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |

Third foal; dam point winner, half-sister to useful 2m-2m6f hurdle/chase winner Deans Road; her rivals don't set a daunting standard for this debut run and her trainer can ready one first time; check the betting. |
