17th Nov 2024 Good 3m 3f 71y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Has run well on good ground here and won at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; reappeared with solid third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month and she should be fine with today's test (albeit well beaten 12 months ago); 2lb out of the handicap but not discounted for bang-in-form yard. |

11st 12lb |
Thorough stayer who gained last season's chasing win at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; not quite in same form at Plumpton later that month but has good record when fresh and begins her new campaign on a workable mark; had wind operation in August; good chance. |

Above-average mare who is a Listed winner; posted a solid handicap effort (one place behind the subsequent Lanzarote winner) at Sandown two starts ago; suited by soft/heavy; has the ability to go well. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Stuck on a lengthy losing run and was well behind Boskill Borden here 12 days ago; the first-time tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Struggling before minor late gains at Market Rasen latest (2m5f, good) extended his losing run to 20; first drop into a 0-105 since July 2022 isn't sufficient on its own to persuade this is the day. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Grade 1 winner over fences in 2020 and still smart in 2023; now has a bit to prove after finishing tailed off in two staying handicap hurdles following a year on the sidelines; not sure what to expect on this hunter chase debut but, with his CV, he's dangerous to dismiss. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Grand servant to the yard with 11 hurdles wins; did what he's been doing for years by bouncing back to exploit a falling mark on his favoured testing ground at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January; most tenacious and impossible to dismiss off 3lb higher. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now and not the force of old but was nudged up only 1lb for last month's clear second in refitted cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) and ought to be better suited by this slower ground. |
