10st 8lb |
1-1 over C&D and won twice over 2m at Catterick (soft/good) earlier in year; well held despite making the frame in his last two starts and needs a bit more from this mark. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Four chase wins, making all in two small fields at Catterick (1m7f, good/soft) last season; remains in good form and he's better over shorter than the 2m4f he ran over here last time. |

9th Jul 2023 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
May not be straightforward but was given nicely judged ride by Dylan Whelan to win at Southwell (2m, good) on Monday and is now 2-5 for Ben Pauling; still has fairly low mileage; respected under penalty. |

3rd Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Came good under rules with hurdle win on stable debut in April (well backed) and looked sure to win Worcester chase (2m, good) the following month, only to capitulate on the run-in; still in contention when falling three out at Market Rasen last time; likely to play a major role. |

9th Jun 2023 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Hurdle winner on stable debut in April (well backed); not so good next time but looked sure to win on chasing debut at Worcester two weeks ago, only to fold after the final fence; has the ability to win this but clearly not be trusted implicitly for now. |

Hasn't won since taking a maiden hurdle here two years ago but was running respectably over fences when last seen late last summer; couldn't dismiss him off a career-low mark. |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Yet to win over fences but has performed with credit in all four chases, the latest a C&D third last month; acts on all ground and chance may depend on effect of first-time cheekpieces. |

A long time since he showed his best form and very opposable on how he's performed in the last year, especially as he's out of the weights. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Peak RPR of 98 came in an identical C&D event over two years ago (good); 0-8 since, however, with a breakthrough rules win seeming further away than ever on this season's efforts; 2lb out of the weights. |

0-10 over fences; runner-up on consecutive outings in autumn 2023 (2m3f/2m7f) but absent since two underwhelming runs last summer (2m1f/3m2f) and may need further than 2m nowadays. |

Has a solid record over fences, with plenty of places alongside three wins in 15 attempts; might strip fitter for his Bangor run which followed wind surgery. |

Maiden; runner-up twice over hurdles in Ireland but hasn't produced a great deal in four British starts (for John Mackie), the latest in a chase; better required on stable debut if he's to figure. |

Disappointing maiden who hasn't shown a great deal since joining Micky Hammond in the summer; today's less-testing ground may enable him to better his recent efforts but others appeal more all the same. |

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. |
