9st 3lb |
Last three wins have come over hurdles, but his last three efforts in that sphere have been moderate; look elsewhere. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
C&D scorer who was tried in cheekpieces when coming in last of 12 over C&D 23 days ago; he needs to bounce back. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Headed close home (Castel Gandolfo third) in this race last year; doesn't arrive in anywhere near the same kind of form this time around after finishing tailed off (beaten 50l) over 2m4f here last month; easing mark isn't enough to make a viable threat. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways over fences at Stratford (2m1f) in March but below par both runs since, beating just one in 2m4f Warwick handicap chase last month; needs to take a big step forward back in this sphere. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences at Stratford in March (2m1f, soft) but his Huntingdon third was remote and some inconsistency has crept in. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
C&D maiden winner (May 2022); has raced just once since fourth to Well Planted over C&D (Class 3, good; beaten over 11l) last August; entitled to strip fitter for that Uttoxeter comeback run, but will need to improve to be positively involved; stablemate of Annie Agnew. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Northern Irish raider having his first outing since fourth at Perth (2m, good) last August; steps up in trip and any market move should be noted. |

2nd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Came good with ready win in C&D maiden in May 2022 and followed up in Kelso novice later that month; made low-key seasonal debut in June but might have needed that outing and can't be ruled out; would probably prefer good ground but has won on good to soft. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates but both his wins have been here, the latest over C&D last July (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; disappointing up in trip here last time (didn't jump well); may have to race run to suit him but will need to jump better. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Largely consistent 10yo who belatedly opened his chasing account at Perth (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last summer; absent since below-par effort in October but ran well when fresh here (2m4f, good) last spring and returns from latest break on a workable mark. |
9/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Reasonably consistent and ran respectably on the bare figures over C&D most recently; however, still has a modest strike-rate, which includes a record of just 1-19 in the chase sphere. |

Three of his four wins have been at Downpatrick but poor comeback run at same track on Friday leaves him with questions to answer. |

Three of his four wins have been here; some solid runs in defeat last year but disappointing when last seen; still, can run well fresh so has to be respected. |

23rd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Six-time hurdle winner (once over C&D on heavy ground) but not firing on all cylinders for new stable this season; 1lb out the weights here; needs a good boost from the refitted cheekpieces; 1lb wrong. |

26th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 4f 8y Class 5 |

Course winner in 2022 but his more recent form is far less encouraging, beating only one at Kelso (2m) 18 days ago; this veteran is hard to make a case for. |
33/1 |
