15th Mar 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Hampered but not unlucky when second dropped back to 2m at Leicester latest (soft); work to do with Rebel Dawn Rising and Janika on last Easter's C&D clash, and Hexham win afterwards might not be infallible proof of his effectiveness at 3m under rules (tired and just held on in slowly run race). |

8th Mar 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Won three times for Nick Pearce last spring, including when value for more than the winning margin at Hexham (3m, soft; 5-2; first-time cheekpieces); yet to fire since returning to Dan Skelton, pulling up in the Walrus at Haydock (2m6f, heavy) three weeks ago; questions to answer, especially at 2m. |

17th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 54y Class 3 |

Won two hunter chases last spring (2m4f/3m, soft) and returned from some time off with fair fourth of five in Leicester handicap (2m4f, heavy) in December; could show the benefit of that outing today; possible contender. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easy winner of this race in 2024 (soft) and the Stratford champion event (good) straight after, and nearest miss since when held by a neck at Brocklesby in February; there's always the chance he'll thrown in a mistake, but case is still good on this easiest-looking hunter chase assignment for some time. |

Winner at this track in 2024 and he then beat Lift Me Up in Stratford's Horse & Hound Cup; however, he never counted in this 12 months ago and returns a year older and in no better form. |

3rd Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Six-time winner under rules, the latest success gained by 15l in handicap hunter chase at Stratford (2m5f, good) last May; pulled up in February, after a layoff, and probably needs the ground to dry out here but will play a major role if back on song. |

30th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 6 |
12st 2lb |
Six-time winner under rules, the latest success gained by 15l in handicap hunter chase at Stratford (2m5f, good) last May; will be hard to beat if in similar form here but was pulled up in a point last month, after a layoff, and today's ground is likely to be slower than he prefers. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in the Becher here in December and his two subsequent hunter chase runs have yielded an early fall and disappointing defeat; twice placed over these fences, however, most recently in the Grand Sefton over C&D in November, and could have an each-way shout if back on song in change of headgear. |
25/1 |

3rd 2 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Pulled up in the Becher Chase at Aintree in December but finished a very good second in the Grand Sefton (2m5f, good to soft) the previous month; returned to hunter chasing with quite a spill at Catterick a fortnight ago but holds leading claims if that hasn't left a mark. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Pulled up in the Becher Chase at Aintree last time but had previously finished a very good second in the Grand Sefton (2m5f, good to soft); did well hunter chasing back in 2024 and the one to beat. |
