Still to get his head in front this term and he made mistakes when trailing in last of eight in 2m5f Hereford handicap chase 20 days ago; others appeal more. |

Won this last year (good to soft) and has run well in defeat on two of his last three starts, most recently at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) this month; he's a strong candidate today. |

13yo who has inconsistent recent form but was successful (off 1lb lower) in December on most recent Southwell start; not ruled out. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Multiple chase winner who made it three for the year at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; hasn't run to the same level since, a recent second at Huntingdon being a remote one, and others further up the list. |

11st 7lb |
Veteran who had a clearcut win at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December from Extraordinary Man, his 11th chase win; not so good at Hereford or Warwick (on Tuesday) since, however. |

7th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |

Course regular who's struggled in recent times, coming more than a stone down the weights in the past six months; is hard to recommend on recent efforts running from 9lb out of the handicap. |

14th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Well suited by Hereford and defied higher marks twice here in February 2023; inconsistent since but this may prove one of his better days, with Sam Twiston-Davies up for first time; interesting. |

11st 12lb |
Veteran mare; yet to hit top gear this season and fell when last in action but will be suited by today's trip/track/ground and has slipped to a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
11/1 |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Now 12 but she won off this mark at Taunton (2m3f, soft) last March and shaped when fifth of 16 there (2m3f, good to soft) last month as though she may benefit from this step back up in trip; each-way contender. |

6th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Both wins gained at Huntingdon just over a year ago; not much since until remarkable performance when third at Market Rasen last week, from 33lb out of the handicap; hard to place maximum faith in that but repeat certainly makes him of serious interest. |
13/2 |

3rd 6 |
29th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 3 |

Two Huntingdon wins a year ago but not in that form lately and out of depth in this company (33lb out of the handicap). |

Veteran is still to register a victory in this sphere but he arrives in solid form, fourth of seven in 2m5f handicap at Newton Abbot 19 days ago; shortlisted. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Veteran who has been lightly raced in recent years but proved he retains ability when a respectable third over C&D (good to soft) in July; has a soft-ground win on his CV; each-way claims at least. |
14/1 |

3rd 9 |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Veteran who has been very lightly raced in recent years; not disgraced in heavy-ground hurdle in March, after a one-year absence, but we haven't seen him since and his current ability is tricky to gauge. |

11st 7lb |
Two wins in 2019/20 but absent for nearly two years after the second of them and hasn't recovered his form; however, change of headgear offers hope (won in first-time cheekpieces); best if able to lead. |
12/1 |

9th 5 |
5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Both chase wins from the front at about 3m, latest in February 2020; long absence before last season and well below form since; four wind operations in all, the fourth before latest start; hard to rely on. |

Both chase wins from the front, most recently over C&D three years ago; well below best since back from absence last January and has lots to prove after pulled up on Boxing Day; had further wind surgery since. |

11st 5lb |
Runner-up three times in Irish points but unplaced in six hurdling starts there, the latest in a tongue-strap under Denis O'Regan; British/chasing debut and needs a market check in such a modest contest. |
