23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner for Robert Walford (2m4f-3m6f, good-soft) but out of form for new stable this season (three runs); very well handicapped now but needs to be perked up by a change of headgear here. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Respectable efforts on both previous course visits, including a close fourth in this in 2024; weighted to strike, but must prove that the effects of the cheekpieces aren't on the wane after a sub-par latest effort. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Won twice over fences at around this trip last spring; not so good since but is 1lb lower than his last winning mark so cannot be ruled out. |

Won twice last spring at about this trip but essentially underwhelming since, albeit in better races than this; the drop in class should be welcomed. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Missed last season; may be best front-running nowadays, as when winning over C&D (good to soft; acts on soft) in December and runner-up in small fields in two of his four completions since; 2m7f may have contributed when below form last time and he should be more potent today. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Can jump right but two of his three wins have come on left-handed tracks and he gave a dashing display from the front at Wetherby recently (2m5f, good; has won on soft) only to get reeled in by an improved one who followed up this week; bold bid likely. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 75y Class 3 |

Has won three of his nine chase starts, the latest at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December; back to form when second of four to unexposed winner at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) at the end of January and he unseated at the first fence at Warwick recently; capable of a bold show. |

Win last February came off this mark but he's offered little in two runs over hurdles back from almost a year off, latterly for his new yard a fortnight ago; the return to fences needs to help. |

Sole career win came in a Ludlow handicap chase in February of last year (3m, good); beaten a long way into third on his return from an absence in a 2m4f novice at Huntingdon. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Infrequent winner, but running well since the turn of the year and his recent Newbury second (2m6f, good to soft) was solid; nudged up 1lb for that but he remains on a workable mark and is high on the list of dangers. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Not overly consistent and can make mistakes, as was the case when the clear leader for a long way over 2m7f here a month ago (soft; fine on good to soft); that was a good run all things considered and won't mind coming back in distance. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Not overly consistent and can make mistakes; however, ran well for a very long way on testing ground at Exeter before no match for an unexposed winner over C&D; could give another good account of himself. |

Old boy was smart handicapper in Britain back in the day; took advantage of his rivals' mishaps when winning at Fairyhouse; beaten a long way in the Champion Hunter Chase at Punchestown. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
All three wins at 2m4f-2m5f (good/good to soft); very creditable third in a strong Cheltenham handicap two starts ago (2m4f, soft) but disappointing she didn't do better when conditions should have suited at Warwick since (has run two of her better races there); questioned after that. |
4/1 |
|
5th 9 |
24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
All wins on good/good to soft; her recent thirds were fairly remote but in good 2m4f handicaps at Sandown/Cheltenham on soft ground that wouldn't have been absolutely ideal; needs considering. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 16 |
28th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
All wins on good/good to soft, the most recent in mares' handicap over C&D last April; soft ground wasn't ideal at Sandown (well-held third) three weeks ago; could go well granted suitable conditions. |

Runner-up at Taunton in April and claims on that but 0-13 as a chaser and only win came in a point more than three years ago; debut for Max Young, having been trained by the owner for last eight starts. |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Nothing like the force of old and very inconsistent in recent years to boot; ran well for a long way when second at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) last month but it's hard to tell whether he'll warm to the task here. |
