9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |

2lb below his Windsor success in November but he's not matched that level since, latest when well held at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last month; needs the return to better ground to spark a revival. |

High-mileage veteran who looked out of sorts on his final two appearances in 2024; too well handicapped to rule out but younger rivals appeal more; blinkers refitted. |

5th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 5 |

On a losing run and in difficulties in three of his last four starts, including behind School For Scandal over C&D in October and at Fakenham 16 days ago; has been wearing headgear but just a tongue-tie today; work cut out. |

Below par in last two completed starts, then early faller latest; won off just 1lb lower at Taunton (2m7f) in December and a return to that form would put him in the picture. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 5f 150y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Just lasted home in a 2m7f chase on good to soft here in December when only 1lb lower; nowhere near as good since then but returning here will be no bad thing (also finished fourth in this 12 months ago). |

10st 8lb |
C&D winner last summer off 4lb lower and that was a narrow success; fared less well after 81 days off at Exeter and now returns from another break; others safer on debut for another new trainer. |

12th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Wouldn't want much rain but has turned a corner on his last couple of runs and the front two were nicely on top when edging home at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July; suffered a wound on his leg which would explain the subsequent break; 5lb higher. |

23rd Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Scored over C&D last year and looked back in good form when second at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here but, otherwise, he's a contender. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Returned to racing under rules with very respectable third over hurdles on stable debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in April but was well beaten at Warwick last month and did not convince as a chaser for Robert Walford during the 2022-23 season (four attempts). |

5th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Very lightly raced in recent years but stayed on from the rear for third when back under rules for last month's stable debut at Hereford (2m3f; tongue-tie/cheekpieces refitted); still very well handicapped on old form; contender if that recent outing brought her on. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Generally very disappointing since her win off 3lb higher at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) in October but stopped the rot when second of four at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last month and has possibilities if in the right mood again; cheekpieces refitted. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 150y Class 5 |

Added to her hurdle win in France when scoring over fences at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) in October but she's struggled since and was beaten a long way back over hurdles two weeks ago; goes back up in trip but she's still above her last winning mark and has plenty to prove back over fences. |

2m7f and 3m2f chase winner on good; if able to reproduce his Hereford effort (2m5f, good) last December he would be thereabouts but he's struggled to get in a serious blow in three subsequent starts, the latest over 3m; blinkers go on. |

3rd Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

C&D winner last September and went in again at Warwick in May; rather typical of him to lose his form but returning from a two-month break could help as seems to go well when fresh. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Not the easiest to predict and both wins have come at further; going well in the lead over 2m7f here two weeks ago but a slow jump four out saw him quickly beaten; perhaps the drop to this trip will work, therefore. |
