27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up in two chases this season, after a layoff, and soundly beaten when back over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces three weeks ago; very well handicapped on old form but current ability is hard to gauge. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced since maiden hurdle win in early 2023 and his pulled-up runs this year, when back from another lengthy layoff, don't recommend for this; cheekpieces added; major turnaround a must. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Southwell winner over hurdles in 2023 (2m, good to soft); best of his three chase runs was when third over C&D in July 2024 (good to firm); hung left and was pulled up on return from a 325-day break at Worcester in May; bit to prove now. |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good) in July and has since added to his tally with a 2m AW win; unexposed over this sort of trip and might still be improving; respected. |

10st 2lb |
Has thrived over hurdles for this yard, winning a 2m3f maiden and a pair of 2m events in his last three starts; successful over 1m6f on the Flat in Ireland last summer and he's a big player off a workable mark back in this sphere. |

11st 7lb |
10yo who returned to form with good second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) four weeks ago; he's never gone beyond an extended 2m1f over fences but won at 2m4f over hurdles; possible player if the trip is okay. |

Never really got competitive at Haydock last month (race in which Sunnyvilla went close) but is now 2lb lower than when very creditable fifth in competitive Cheltenham handicap (2m, soft) on seasonal debut in November; suited by this track; big player if quickly back on song. |

Twice runner-up here (2m/2m4f) in the spring before off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May (placed horses both won two starts later); not seen since disappointing at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) the following month, but still a player on his earlier form. |

Travelled well for a long way and displayed significant ability when fifth of 13 on debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft; hooded) last month, form that looks better now than it did at the time; probably needs to improve here but has obvious potential. |

Just 1-12 over hurdles but the win was at this track (2m, good) and he ran well in defeat here last month, after a break; on workable mark if stamina holds out over this new trip; must be considered. |

Scored comfortably in another novice handicap over C&D (good) last May after a layoff and he was placed on next three outings; something amiss in a run last August and below form in first-time cheekpieces in October on his only start since, but the earlier good efforts can't be forgotten. |

Three wins last year, the third coming over C&D (good) in June, when making all; not in the same form since but he's now 1lb below that last winning mark and could bounce back for a yard that was among the winners at Aintree on Saturday. |

Three French Flat wins and he's 0-30 in Britain, though placed on many occasions; shaped quite well on hurdling debut but twice tailed off since; risky but opening mark of 83 would look lenient if showing his best. |
