27th Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Both wins last season came over hurdles, including Chepstow contest on final outing; hasn't won over fences since 2020 and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; very well handicapped on his useful best. |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Very useful chaser at his best; very much on the downgrade now and was tailed off at Haydock last month but was able to exploit his novice hurdle status in three-runner contest at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) two starts ago and ought to play a leading role here. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
No win since 2020 as a chaser and he's not been firing on all cylinders this season; won latest start but that came when 8-13 in a three-runner novice hurdle; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; down the weights (14lb lower than this time last year) but has questions to answer. |

24th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Unseated rider at the first hurdle on his racecourse debut one year ago; went on to win his next two starts in juvenile hurdles before finishing down the field in the Fred Winter; beaten a neck here when last seen in April; had wind surgery prior to this reappearance/chase debut and wears a tongue-strap for the first time; interesting in receipt of his 4yo allowance. |

Dual hurdle winner against own age-group this season, latterly at Ludlow (2m, soft) in January; found Cheltenham Festival handicap too hot last month but is back in much calmer waters here and commands respect. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Drops in grade and now 2lb below her last winning mark, but well beaten in both starts since returning in April; probably needs further than this now. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had no peace in front on her AW comeback here three weeks ago, when well held at a big price; back to the mark off which she won at Ripon last summer but finished last season on a downswing and needs to bounce back. |

Dual turf winner (1m6f/2m) last summer; off since two below-par runs in the autumn, though, and still on fairly tough mark for this rare AW run. |

Joined Christian Williams after winning six-runner Irish point in February but was soundly beaten on rules debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, soft) a week ago and needs to take a big step forward here. |

Massive prices and beaten a long way in three qualifying runs over 1m7f-2m2f; up in trip for this handicap debut and a leap of faith is required to support him. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
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. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

10st 2lb |
Made all over C&D (good) in March and doubled his chasing tally with hard-fought success at Uttoxeter (3m, good) two months ago; should also be suited by today's slower ground and helps to give Christian Williams a good hand in this race. |
