15th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Two wins over 2m6f on good to firm at Stratford in the summer (both with a visor); beaten when coming down three out on same track last time (2m3f); return to this longer trip should suit. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 2-3 since fitted with a visor this season, with both wins gained over 2m6f here (good to firm); may not have things all his own way today and this drop back in trip is probably not ideal but further progress is not out of the question. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Multiple winner over hurdles and fences; went down narrowly after a break at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) and he's hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him. |

27th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Regressive 10yo who is better known as a staying chaser now; didn't run badly when switched back to hurdling two starts ago (2m7f) and will appreciate today's ease in grade but younger rivals appeal more. |

24th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Ran some fair races over fences last autumn but this 10yo is nothing like as good as he was; well beaten back over hurdles last time and others have more going for them. |
8/1 |

6th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
10yo who isn't the force of old but ran some fair races over fences in the autumn, most recently third at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft); continues to edge down the weights and might not be far away if the return to hurdling isn't a problem (three wins in this sphere, which he last tackled in May 2022). |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Eight-time chase winner at up 3m1f but he's well into the veteran stage now and has struggled in three points this year; this looks tough on these terms back over regulation fences and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

19th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Looked rather gone at the game last winter so connections and rider Jack Power have done brilliantly to get his enthusiasm back at his age; he completed the hat-trick a shade cosily at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; won on soft twice in midwinter) in March and another win is on the cards. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Made up into smart chaser last term with success in Haydock's Silver Trophy (2m4f) in April; has continued in fine form with 3m Perth win and an excellent third of 13 in 3m Uttoxeter handicap this summer; can't be discounted but Harry Skelton sides with Il Est Francais. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Successful on this card two years ago; campaigned mostly over 2m4f/2m5f but saw out 3m well at Perth (good) most recently, adding to his Grade 2 handicap success in April and taking chase record to 9-30; better than ever and commands respect. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Good ground is key to him, though good to soft is acceptable; after signs of a revival at the Cheltenham Festival he duly delivered in a competitive 2m4f handicap at Haydock, winning cosily despite narrow margin of victory; the 4lb rise seemed generous and when beaten at Uttoxeter he bumped into the talented Glengouly on a good day; all his best form is at shorter, so stamina would be the principal concern. |

5th Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Kickstarted this season with success at Market Rasen (2m3f) in June but he's twice failed to build on it, beating only one at Newton Abbot (2m5f) last month; others are much preferred. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Formerly very smart and belatedly returned to winning ways in a first-time visor (with tongue-tie returning) over 2m3f at Market Rasen (good); only 3lb higher but that was three months ago and trainer turns to more new headgear now; no certainty to be as good again but strong contender if he is. |
