Sent chasing two seasons back and won three from six; absent 568 days before third of 15 at Bangor (extended 2m4f, soft) in November but tailed off at Exeter (2m3f) over three weeks later; not proven beyond 2m5f; latest win was under a 7lb claimer and another claimer gets the leg up today. |

Completed a Wetherby double (2m3f, soft) last February and he's back down to his last winning mark; hasn't hit the same heights this season but ran okay when third at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month and he now contests his first veterans' chase; could be involved. |

Quite useful for Dan Skelton a few years ago but his only win since 2021 came in a two-runner point and was well beaten in his last two points. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won good-quality handicaps at Aintree (2m5f) and Cheltenham (3m2f) towards end of 2024; not at best in 2025 but he shaped as if retaining ability; missed the Grimthorpe at Doncaster in February due to soft ground; drying conditions should help and, back to his last winning mark, he's a possible. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
The writing was on the wall very early when pulled up at Musselburgh latest and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, this 7yo has enjoyed a progressive season otherwise, completing a hat-trick with his win here (3m2f, good to soft) in December before solid third at Wincanton (3m2f, good to soft); can make bold bid if bouncing back. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this season but significant positives can be drawn from his recent third at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy), where he made good headway to challenge in the home straight; remains on a good mark; interesting. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Effective at 2m on heavy ground but his last win was two years ago; well handicapped on old form but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs to get back on track. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |

Both chase wins came when trained by Richard Bandey; tailed off over hurdles here (2m3f, soft) last month and back over fences at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago; down to a career-low mark but has it all to prove. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Arguably unlucky to have just two wins to his name rather than four; cheekpieces of his below-par efforts the last thrice are off, and back down to his highest winning mark (lowered in a 2m4f chase); not ruled out. |

Only seen sporadically down the years and his best efforts have all come without headgear (cheekpieces retained after two poor runs in them this year); has it to prove currently. |

15th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 72y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Faded rather tamely in home straight at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) last month, after a break, and is now 0-5 over fences; on a tempting mark now and should be fine on today's ground but needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

Chasing experiment has been shelved after failing to complete the last three times (pulled up latest); return to hurdles may prove beneficial but there is a question mark over her current form. |

10th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Looked one to follow when winning a bumper and maiden hurdle in winter 2021-22; then absent until early last year, when struggling on first two chase starts; plenty to prove but a market move would be interesting on this first outing since last April. |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Looked a good prospect when scoring over hurdles at Chepstow (2m4f) last February but he's yet to fire in two runs in this sphere after a ten-month absence, tried in blinkers when pulled up in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap 38 days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |
