16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1-37 and still surprisingly error-prone despite so much chasing experience, leaving his mark on several fences en route to a 8l C&D fourth latest (good); frame finish probable but hard to predict better even off this career-low mark whilst the mistakes remain; cheekpieces return. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Extremely hard to win with, having won only one of his 34 races over fences and runner-up on 13 of those occasions; even if he jumps better than last time (beaten 18l), he'll probably find a way to come up short; a rare run without any form of headgear. |

Unreliable sort; jumped sketchily when a well-held fourth of seven in 3m Sedgefield handicap chase 16 days ago so others are much preferred. |

Dual course winner last autumn (3m2f/2m7f) and signed off with two respectable runs here in the spring; not always one to rely upon but resumes on a workable mark and enters calculations. |

Acts on heavy going; two wins at this track in the autumn; back in respectable form with second-place finishes over C&D the last twice; holds solid claims based on his Chepstow record this season. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |

Has very modest 1-31 career strike-rate but was clear second to a big improver on last month's seasonal/stable at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) and is also suited by this C&D; leading contender. |

12st 0lb |
Regressive 12yo who struggled on all three starts for new stable last season, most recently when swapping cheekpieces for first-time blinkers (retained) over C&D in March; urgently needs to stop the rot. |

Over five years since his last win; some promise last season but yet to fire in three runs for current stable; down in the weights but with a lot to prove. |

Won three consecutive races in 2021 and lightly raced since; displayed a hint of spark over C&D last November but pulled up since and this 11yo is back to having plenty to prove; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

Won three consecutive races at about 3m1f in 2021 but pulled up on next four starts; hard to tell what ability remains when last of five at Wetherby in November and still 2lb above his latest winning mark. |

Won over a similar trip last July but seems to have gone off the idea this winter, refusing to race two starts ago and pulling up either side, most recently on Monday; can only watch. |

Old-timer; managed two wins last spring/summer and ran respectably when third over this C&D (good to soft) in October; had little chance from 7lb out of the handicap at Warwick last time; each-way possibilities. |
