24th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 214y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground wins at Stratford and Worcester have been the clear form highlights this season; arrives on the back of a low note, having suffered a heavy defeat last time. |

11st 13lb |
Alighted upon a moderate class 3 at Stratford in June (2m1f, good) and only 1lb higher tonight; record of 1132222124 around here, but poor jumping display over C&D latest needs a little bit of forgiving. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Easily the most experienced over fences, and a 2m4f win here (good) off 17lb higher rounded off a spring 2024 hat-trick; no successes since, however, and it's a push to say this step up to 3m has long been needed. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won three chases in a row (2m-2m4f, good-soft) in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; beaten out of sight when 20-1 at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; revival needed. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Completed chase hat-trick in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; May's second of three at Ludlow (2m4f, good) was encouraging but she's been soundly beaten since and was weak in the market when an early casualty over C&D last month; easy to look elsewhere. |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made pleasing return from nine-month absence when third over C&D (good) in July but two poor performances have followed and it's hard to predict what sort of mood he'll be in today. |

12th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Very hard to predict as has been again evident this season, having run well here but then poorly at Bangor; had wind operation. |

4th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Fine effort when third at Worcester (not far behind Trapista) 15 days ago, on his return from nine months off; has to back that up but enters the argument if he can repeat that run. |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Good strike-rate over fences but beaten between 16l and 25l in his last three races and he's into the veteran stage now. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
5-19 over fences, the latest win at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April; not in same form at Cartmel or Stratford since and first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; has it to do giving weight away to more progressive rivals. |
8/1 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
5-18 over fences, the latest win at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April; not in same form at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago but the ground probably turned against him there and he's still on a workable mark. |

Well held at Worcester last time; scored over C&D earlier in June, taking Uttoxeter record to 2-4; still well treated on peak form and has possibilities back here. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Runs off a mark 10lb lower than when fifth of 14 in this last year, beaten just over 13l; he's run a couple of reasonable races this season but hasn't shown enough to suggest he's the one to be on today. |
33/1 |

3rd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Led close home to win this race off 5lb higher a year ago (soft ground) and was seemingly perked up by cheekpieces when third on both outings last month; made up considerable ground from the rear at Sandown (1m7f, soft) on latter occasion and has strong claims here if the headgear continues to aid him. |
15/8 |
|
3rd 9 |
31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Acts on any ground; half-length second off 4lb higher in this contest 12 months ago; out of sorts this term until posting a resurgent effort, behind solid rivals, in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor most recently; enters calculations in the retained headgear. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
10yo with a record of 3-30; has patchy profile and was tailed off at Warwick last month but he finished a close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
13/2 |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Similar type to Thankyourluckystar, being a 10yo who finished second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but seems unlikely to go one better in this field, against opponents who are mostly less exposed. |
14/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Currently in a consistent vein of form, having posted form figures of 2212 in last four appearances; ran creditably when bidding for Fontwell double (2m5f) last time; solid chance. |
