23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Four-time chase winner at up to 3m1f; well handicapped on his Huntingdon win for Henry Daly last March but he's struggled since including in two runs for new yard this spring; ran well to a point at Ludlow last time but he was on the retreat when he fell and others preferred. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Potentially well treated on old form but signed off for Henry Daly with his own ideas about the game and he made a quiet start for this yard at Huntingdon after wind surgery; risky. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Comes with some risk, having proved recalcitrant in sole start this term (left Henry Daly and had wind surgery since); otherwise interesting back at Huntingdon, with record of 2-2 over fences here comprising wins in this contest for the last two years. |

25th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won two in a row (good/heavy) prior to finishing second in this last year (good to soft); he's 5lb lower than 12 months ago and is one to watch in the betting, but this 11yo has been tailed off/pulled up on his two runs this season and a major turnaround is required. |

22nd Jan 2024 Frozen 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (3m, good) and Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last March and only 3lb higher than for the latest of those; however, he's an 11yo now and his reappearance was underwhelming even if that was over 2m4f. |

11st 3lb |
Won back-to-back handicap chases (2m7f/3m) on right-handed tracks two winters ago and she may prefer going that way round; modest form of late in cheekpieces and now tries blinkers. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |

in touch with leaders, not fluent 4 out, soon lost ground, rallied and headway before 2 out, pushed along when joined leader last, soon led, ridden and kept on run-in |

28th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he got back on track with fourth of ten on reappearance at Warwick (3m, good) last month; was only beaten around 5l in that race and has claims if he can build on that; cheekpieces reapplied. |
8/1 |

30th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Triple chase winner at up to 3m, all on good; well below par in all three starts since finishing a close third at Stratford last October; sliding in the handicap and now drops in grade, so can't rule out a revival. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Still in front when falling on his return to hunter chasing in January but ran miserably at Leicester next time where soft ground was no excuse; had been in good form in handicaps before those setbacks and would take some beating if back on song. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Good form in handicaps this winter includes a Leicester success; still in front when falling at Warwick returned to hunter chasing last time; retains all of his ability and is top on the figures in this field. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Commendable second in last season's Aintree Foxhunters' (2m5f, good to soft) and as good as ever in recent 2m4f handicaps; stays 3m well and won't be fazed if the ground turns soft (unraced on heavy); ought to be hard to beat on return to hunter chasing. |

28th May 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who beat three rivals to make winning chase debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in November; only 2lb higher here but reappeared with lacklustre effort in February and it's hard to know what to expect from him after another break; cheekpieces refitted. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo; made a winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in November but that was in a small-field event and he was pulled up at Ffos Las next time; blinkers are now tried and he comes with risks attached after another break. |

Very lightly raced 8yo who beat three rivals to make winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in November; the bare form isn't anything to get excited about but he's only 2lb higher here and still has potential. |
