11st 6lb |
Did his winning for Evan Williams in batches, latterly when notching a hat-trick the winter before last; on a fair mark back from a short break but needs a revival after a few poor efforts in recent times. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Enjoyed very good campaign last season with three wins (two over fences); he's on a handy mark on that form but has been well beaten in fourth on both outings this term; needs to turn things around. |

10st 11lb |
Off since April but in was in the zone back then having delivered seasonal form figures of 111222; the latest near miss was over C&D and he's only 2lb higher for this; hard to dismiss. |

10st 13lb |
Won three times (all 2m4f, good) in early part of last season and returned from break with pretty good fourth here (2m3f, good) in April but has looked out of sorts on recent outings and needs to turn a corner. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Two of his four wins over fences have been over C&D but he has been well below that level recently and is hard to fancy. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Four chase wins include two here, one in this race last year; creditable return from a break at Fontwell in April but he's struggled in two Warwick runs since, the step up to 3m seemingly not the main issue last time; just below his latest winning mark though so hard to dismiss. |

Dual chase winner last November but he's lost his way over fences and hurdles since the turn of the year; on a good mark if the first-time visor has a positive effect. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit. |
5/1 |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Has won four handicaps since last July - three chases (one here) and a hurdle race; needs to bounce back from two quiet runs over fences but there's nothing wrong with his mark over hurdles; stable won this last year. |

10st 13lb |
All four wins have been gained at this track and latest was over C&D (soft) in January; that was off 2b higher but he's not come close to that form since and was a well-held third of four at Fontwell on his recent return after another wind op; has bit to prove and he needs a major revival. |
