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 |
12st 4lb |
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. |

Ran well in only one of six hurdling starts for Dan Skelton last season and, having rejoined Sam Loxton, was pulled up in a hunter chase in February; last of three finishers in 4m point last month; revival needed. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Reappeared with fair third at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in February and a failure to settle proved costly on heavy ground at Carlisle (3m, heavy) last month; each-way claims if bouncing back to form. |

Ran okay at Wetherby behind two horses who ran at Cheltenham on Friday; this softer ground will be in his favour; chance. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
12yo whose fortunes have been mixed in point-to-points over the last two years but he won at Carlisle (3m, heavy) last month when back in a hunter chase; versatile ground-wise and he's on the shortlist. |

Useful chaser back in the day but a 12yo now and he was out the back when unseating in his latest point. |

28th May 2023 Good To Firm 3m 2f 39y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Had a good spell in points in the early part of 2022; however, his point/rules form this year is far from compelling and perhaps age is catching up with this 12yo; the weakest contender on recent evidence. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Useful in his prime and he won four points in the first third of last year, but this 12yo has struggled this year and others are preferred. |

1st Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 170y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Promising chaser in 2018 and he won four point-to-points in the first third of last year; however, he's failed to shine in points the last twice and has something to prove now back under rules. |

14th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
All out to land the odds in a three-runner Kingston Blount grassroots conditions event last month (3m, soft), breaking a near six-year losing run; limitations have been exposed in hunter chases either side of that, though has placed over this C&D once before. |

11st 12lb |
Showed plenty of ability under rules up to spring 2021 and comfortably won a point-to-point eight days ago; however, he'd been beaten in points on his 11 previous starts and could be vulnerable today. |

0-16 under rules but ran a big race when close second in good-ground open point at Overton in March and makes quick reappearance after holding on well to win a conditions point at Witton Castle on Monday; has also won on the point-to-point course here; can make presence felt. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
11yo whose rules form last year was patchy and she was pulled up in a point last month; plenty to prove but she may have needed that latest run and she's won here twice over fences; not written off each-way now back here. |
