10st 13lb |
2m winner in this sphere; stayer on the Flat; not disgraced over C&D (good) returned to hurdles but his effort rather petered out after pulling hard; chance partly depends on whether he settles better. |

Four-time hurdle winner on slow ground, including over C&D (raced prominently in first-time visor) in April; below par at Ffos Las (2m, good) latest, after a 5lb rise; each-way claims if he can bounce back. |

28th Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Holding his form fairly well; on a four-year losing spell but has become attractively handicapped; went close off 7lb higher over C&D last March; possibilities. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
8th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual-purpose performer with a record of 2-35 and his last win was in a novice at this track (1m4f) four years ago; stays this trip and was a fair fifth back on the Flat here in December but others are more persuasive. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (10) |
23rd Dec 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual-purpose performer who struggled off a basement over hurdles three weeks ago but his Flat win came over C&D and he's well handicapped on some AW form in the spring; not ruled back in this sphere for yard that won this in 2022. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three of his wins have come at Brighton; well treated on last summer's ready 1m2f win but returning from an absence perhaps not the time to catch him. |
20/1 |

9th 3 (4) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins at Brighton, the latest off 3lb lower in August (1m2f, good to firm); effective on AW and he is one to consider despite some unappealing form figures. |

Poor Flat performer; beat only three rivals when making a successful debut over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) and hasn't threatened since then; others preferred. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Struggled to get competitive off basement Flat mark last month, after a layoff, but made winning chase debut in small-field contest here (2m2f, good) nine days ago; did that a shade cosily and is only 3lb higher now; must be considered. |
15/8 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |

Not seen under jumps rules since pulled up in soft-ground handicap hurdle in April 2023 and has been in poor form on the Flat since last summer; has too much to prove on chasing debut; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |

9st 0lb |
Went close in 1m4f classified at Brighton in June 2022 but she hasn't progressed and her recent 2m run back on Polytrack doesn't inspire much confidence; plenty to prove back on Tapeta; headgear discarded. |

Effective at 2m on soft ground but she's still a maiden after 11 starts and was a well-held third in a Class 6 event at Catterick last time; others preferred. |

Multiple winner at up to 2m, including here (1m6f); well beaten at Catterick latest but he has shown enough on several occasions this year to suggest he can be competitive back here from this handy mark. |

24-race maiden; finished third over C&D when 1lb higher in March but hasn't shown enough on either turf or AW on his last three starts to suggest he'll break his duck yet. |

19th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
