12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick at around 3m in February/March 2025 but not seen again until refusing to race when a 20-1 shot at Kelso 24 days ago; can only watch after that. |

11st 2lb |
In excellent form in February/March 2025, winning three in a row at around 3m (good to soft/good), but has fitness to prove after 393-day absence and will need to hit the ground running to have any chance off current mark. |

Returned from latest wind op with pretty good second at Southwell (3m, good) in June but has not been firing on all cylinders since; behind two of today's rivals when sixth at Hereford (3m1f, good) three weeks ago and needs to up his game. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won three chases last year from 2m4f to 2m5f when the ground was no slower than good to soft; latest return to chasing at Ffos Las was underwhelming, even allowing for the trip of 2m3f. |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three chases over slightly longer trips last year when the ground was no slower than good to soft; current mark won't be easy but this race is a better fit than the novice hurdle he contested last time. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |

Better known as a chaser these days, with three of his four wins in that discipline gained last year; returns to hurdling over a trip short of his best and looks vulnerable. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
C&D winner last summer off 4lb lower and that was a narrow success; fared less well after 81 days off at Exeter and now returns from another break; others safer on debut for another new trainer. |

12th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Wouldn't want much rain but has turned a corner on his last couple of runs and the front two were nicely on top when edging home at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July; suffered a wound on his leg which would explain the subsequent break; 5lb higher. |

23rd Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Scored over C&D last year and looked back in good form when second at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here but, otherwise, he's a contender. |

Has only won at Worcester, going back-to-back there in late summer (2m4f hurdle/2m chase); didn't run at all well in his last two races, both over fences. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

All three of his wins under rules have been at this track, his last success over C&D (good) last month; decent fourth at Warwick (2m4f, good) 22 days ago and remains in form. |

12th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Last win was in May 2022 off a 9lb higher mark; no worthwhile form in his six subsequent appearances and does have a lot to prove right now. |

24th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Stayed on well to win this race by 12l off a 9lb higher mark a year ago but was out of form on his three appearances in the autumn, and it's hard to say anything positive about last month's reappearance run (albeit the ground was softer than he prefers); needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Won at Warwick (3m1f, good) last May; 4lb lower today but that's because he's been right out of form since. |
