1-31 and not always a strong finisher under rules previously, but really dug in to wrest the prize back at Mollington latest (2m4f, good to firm); plenty to find on peak ratings but confidence restored at least. |

Not the best of strike-rates but sound run when second over fences at Huntingdon last time (2m7f, good); well handicapped at present; a possible back hurdling. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Six chase wins, the latest here (1m7f, heavy) under Rian Corcoran 19 days ago; still on workable mark after recent 5lb rise and will be fine over today's longer trip but the faster ground is probably not in his favour. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up in his first two starts this season including a close call at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft), but his form cooled at Hereford last time; needs to step up again after that but he remains well treated on his old form. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won chase debut in February 2025 and back to form with blinkers enlisted when second on last two outings, but all three of those runs were over 2m and there is plenty to prove judged on his attempts at 2m4f/3m; cheekpieces return and their previous usage includes that one win. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Took a step forward in a change of headgear when second of eight in handicap over C&D 22 day ago, hindered by a blunder two out; this C&D winner is a likely player if blinkers have the same effect a second time. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Opened his account when winning on chase debut over C&D (soft) last February but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs; overall record is now 1-21 and he needs new headgear to give him a boost. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit. |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Has won four handicaps since last July - three chases (one here) and a hurdle race; needs to bounce back from two quiet runs over fences but there's nothing wrong with his mark over hurdles; stable won this last year. |

Returned from break with three good runs towards end of 2024, including clearcut win at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft), but looked out of sorts on both outings this year and needs a boost from the refitted cheekpieces. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Bangor (2m4f, soft) off 3lb higher in October 2023 but out of sorts in four starts since and pulled up in July when possibly finding his stamina stretched by 3m2f; hard to recommend on recent form. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Largely consistent in early part of last season, and deserved his hard-fought win at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; fell on reappearance outing in May but last month's Worcester run was not as bad as eventual 39l defeat might suggest, and that outing might have brought him on. |

Won four chases for others stables in 2023, three of them over 2m4f on good ground here; out of form over hurdles and fences for Ryan Potter since the autumn but has dropped to a low mark and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |

3rd May 2023 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Made all when winning easily for Ian Williams over C&D early last year off a 2lb higher mark; back in form on his recent course comeback (1m6f) for Roisin Leech, again from the front, and that gave something to build on. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Out of form on the Flat and over hurdles since last summer; his defeat on heavy ground in December can be overlooked but, nevertheless, he comes here with a lot to prove; 3lb out of the weights. |
