6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Back to form after a second wind op, posting career-best RPRs when scoring at Chepstow in February and when runner-up at Hereford the following month (both at 2m); has his best form over shorter but shapes as though this trip should suit and he commands respect on that recent form. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Last year's winner on good ground; bounced back to form after wind surgery to beat four rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) two weeks ago, making virtually all; back up 5lb but has leading claims again. |

1st 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Made excellent progress over fences last season, winning three times (1m7f-2m, good-heavy), but ended that campaign with a poor run and has not been at his best this term (three starts); needs last month's wind op to have made a difference. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Heavy defeats switched to chasing this term, with tongue tied last time and cheekpieces added today; that equipment hints at risks but his two runs over hurdles leading into that (about 2m4f in the mud) read pretty well, so he's given a second look on his return to this discipline. |

19th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Came good over hurdles for Anthony Charlton at Newbury (2m4f, heavy) in March and also ran well for new stable later that month, but dropped out very tamely on chasing debut in October and needs first-time tongue-tie to aid his finishing effort here. |

Launched his chasing career with two 3m wins in the mud at Exeter last March and scored again over that C&D on latest outing (same race as last year) but this time on good ground under claimer Chad Bament; the latter was by just a short head (after third-placed Shot Boii was reeled in close home) but he should remain competitive going back up 3lb. |

14th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was well beaten in three handicap chases in the autumn and is 3lb wrong here; difficult to enthuse over on that evidence but connections are persisting, and it's worth noting he attracted market support last time; wore cheekpieces two starts ago; blinkers tried here. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
0-5 over fences but looked suited by the drop back in trip and gave very good account when second of ten over C&D (good) in June; player off same mark if still in same form after 111-day break. |

11st 3lb |
Won twice in early part of last season (3m2f/2m6f, good) and returned from layoff with three placed runs this term (2m7f-3m2f, good/good to soft); major player if recent wind op makes any positive difference. |

Won twice on good ground in early part of last season (3m2f/2m6f) and returned from 11-month layoff with two good seconds this term, the latter over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; not yet fully exposed; obvious contender. |

Won twice last summer and made a solid return when second of seven at Newton Abbot (3m3f, good to soft) last month; entitled to improve for that run and cannot be left out of calculations. |
