23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways after six months off in 4m1f hunter chase at Warwick (good) 22 days ago; effective over this much shorter trip and this likeable front-runner is not out of things. |

Highly impressive 26 finishes in the first four (eight of them wins) from 30 rules/pointing runs for the Owens, with stamina proven up to 3m6f; all-the-way hurdles winner over 3m2f here just last autumn (good), and likelier than some to run his race. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Bangor (2m4f, soft) off 3lb higher in October 2023 but out of sorts in four starts since and pulled up in July when possibly finding his stamina stretched by 3m2f; hard to recommend on recent form. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Largely consistent in early part of last season, and deserved his hard-fought win at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; fell on reappearance outing in May but last month's Worcester run was not as bad as eventual 39l defeat might suggest, and that outing might have brought him on. |

Largely consistent in early part of last season, and deserved his hard-fought win at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; fell on last month's reappearance outing but has possibilities here if all goes to plan; refitted blinkers the headgear of choice today. |

Sole hurdle win was in 2019 and he's struggled over fences and hurdles in three runs after a long absence; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove after another break. |

11st 10lb |
Progressive 9yo who returned from a break with small-field win at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April and also ran well when second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; significant rain will dent his appeal here but otherwise he may still have more improvement to come. |

Only win came on good ground off 2lb higher here last May (3m1f); has run well since then but form has taken a turn for the worse this year and should have run better only 19 days ago at Hereford when back on good ground. |

Only win came on good ground off this mark at Warwick last May (3m1f); was knocking on the door in the autumn (on good and good to soft) and a softer surface has perhaps found him out the last twice; better expected. |

24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Continues to operate below the level of his two 2021 Newton Abbot juvenile hurdle wins, mistakes confining him to the rear-division throughout his recent chasing debut (2m4f, good); 5lb drop is not persuasive. |
14/1 |

1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Both wins in 2m1f hurdles at Newton Abbot in the summer of 2021 but his form since returning from 16 months off last December has been very ordinary; has much to prove now chasing. |

Had some dispiriting experiences over fences and failed to complete in three of seven attempts but he has shown ability as a chaser and his latest second to an in-form rival at Southwell (2m4f, good) was more encouraging; should be thereabouts. |

Mixes hurdles and chases; not badly treated on best form at about 3m and although pulled up on latest chase attempt he does look worth another go with less of a stamina test after fading in a 2m7f hurdle at Fakenham in June. |

Ten-race maiden; seemed to have arrested his decline when fourth in consecutive chases last summer but absent since tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over hurdles nine months ago. |
