13th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten on handicap debut in March but bounced back quickly to beat very progressive rival by 7l at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last month; 8lb higher in a stronger race but open to further improvement. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Started his hurdling career with two promising placed efforts (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft) but he was tailed off on his handicap debut over C&D (11-2) last month; still has potential but this is a recovery mission after that last run. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Big progress as hurdler initially last term (2m4f-3m) and also won handicaps when switched to chasing for first two starts this season (up to an extended 2m5f); 12-1 but unseated early for 3m Grade 1 novice at Kempton on Boxing Day (has similar Cheltenham entry); has a question to answer with new trip but, barring mishaps, best days are still ahead of him. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner; just missed out at Uttoxeter in March (2m4f) and it was a Class 2 in which he couldn't land any real blow the last time; can cope with this mark and should go well in this easier race. |

Rebounded from poor performance and went down fighting when second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last month; up in grade and 2lb higher but ran very well over C&D on both previous visits to Chepstow, more notably when winning by 3l on good ground a year ago. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won four times for the Skeltons but, following a good second on his stable debut here (2m4f, heavy) in December, he has been pulled up on three of his last four starts; hard to fancy. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Ex-Dan Skelton; went close on yard debut in December (2m4f, heavy) but then twice pulled up and was beaten 14l here 18 days ago (good); wouldn't be the percentage call. |

Ex-Dan Skelton; he has pulled up in his three of his last four races but did go close when he did get round at Uttoxeter in December (2m4f, heavy; effective on good); he's risky but also capable. |

Won a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in April 2021 but he's not matched that form in just four runs since; drops back in trip but he got outpaced when switched back to hurdling at Market Rasen (2m7f) last time and others are more convincing; stablemate of Fletch. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten at Southwell last month on his return from two years off; that leaves him with plenty to prove but possibly worth noting in the betting as he had some fair novice form; stable also runs Swinging London. |

Became disappointing last season and was unable to justify prominence in betting when well-held fifth here (2m4f, good to soft) on last month's belated return; moves back up in trip and sports refitted cheekpieces today; not written off just yet but returns here with a point to prove. |
