24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 2-37 and his last win was over fences 13 months ago; several placed efforts on AW since October; not disgraced back on turf at Windsor (11.5f) this month; stays this far but others are more persuasive. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 6-23 over fences; not firing as he can this season but there's time yet and he's well handicapped. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual winner here (including C&D) who was second in this in 2024; built on seasonal debut when third over C&D (soft) in December but jumped right and disappointed at Exeter last time; contender to bounce back returned to this venue. |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Two wins this summer, the latest off 6lb lower at Worcester four weeks ago; goes well for Will Featherstone, whose 10lb claim should again prove useful, and appears much better when able to lead; acts on good and soft. |
7/2 |

1st 7 |
1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Benefited from the return to front-running tactics when comfortably winning at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in June and fell mid-race on his return visit; only 7lb higher than for that win and needs respecting. |
9/2 |

11th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Returning to front-running tactics did the trick when comfortably beating Lonimoss Bareliere over C&D (soft) 19 days ago; a 7lb rise could have been worse and Will Featherstone rides again. |

23rd May 2023 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily but won off today's mark at Taunton (2m2f, good) in December and didn't run badly at Ludlow (2m) this month; looks well worth a crack at today's trip and is capable of a bold show. |
11/4 |

9th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Opened his account on yard debut in 2m2f Taunton handicap chase in December but he's been hit and miss since and was pulled up at Fontwell (2m2f) last time; he needs to bounce back. |

Ordinary mare who trailed home last of five finishers in similar event at Taunton (hunter chase debut) most recently; again faces a stiff task on the figures. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has won two handicap chases but off very modest marks and difficult to envisage her winning this, despite a respectable latest effort between the flags. |
50/1 |

6th 7 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Both wins (one here) have been recorded at 2m2f-2m3f, but today's sort of trip may now be closer to optimum judged on this summer's evidence; back below her last winning mark and not ruled out; visor added. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 35y |
10st 7lb |
Won a handicap chase at Catterick for Alistair Ralph in February 2023; pulled up on first two starts for this yard later that year and not seen since; entitled to need this after mammoth layoff. |

19th Oct 2023 Yielding 2m 4f 112y |
11st 7lb |
Sole win over fences in Britain came at Catterick last season; however, tailed off at Ludlow when last seen, has stamina to prove at this trip and probably best watched on yard debut returning from 163 days off (bought for £10,000 in August). |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled when a big-priced outsider at Southwell (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and is now 0-18 over fences; 12lb wrong here; can't be recommended. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

0-17 over fences and winless in well over four years; well beaten again from out of the weights last week and a similar fate likely awaits. |

11st 0lb |
Has modest strike-rate and is very inconsistent but has slipped to a good mark and ran well over C&D on his only previous visit Fakenham; cheekpieces (missing when tailed off at Fontwell last month) are refitted here; can be dangerous if in the right mood. |

Coped with varying conditions when completing a hat-trick last season in 2m chases; this campaign isn't going half as well and this new headgear combination did nothing for him last time. |
