27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won this in 2024 (heavy) and he was a promising second at Carlisle (3m, soft) in November 2025 on his second start back from a long absence; tailed off at Haydock since but he was 7lb out of the handicap and made a bad mistake mid-race; he's one to consider now back down in grade. |

8th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser but she has been pulled up all three starts over fences this season, latest at Huntingdon (3m) in January; has lots to prove back in this sphere. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
He won at Perth (3m, good) in April and has produced some respectable performances since, but he was beaten nearly 10l when fourth of nine behind Upfordebate at Perth (3m, good) ten days ago and needs a bigger run today. |

26th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 34y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up on two of his final three starts last season but nevertheless showed some good hurdle form last term and his useful half-brothers Isleofhopendreams and Mighty Thunder both showed their best form over fences; finished placed in points and he's respected on this chase debut. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Relatively lightly raced 7yo; off the mark in a Leicester handicap (2m4f, soft) in December and bounced back from a major blip when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) last month; had the run of things in front that day but unexposed as a stayer and is open to more progress; in the mix. |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won in fine style on his chase debut at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last April; strong claims if reproducing that form but hasn't been at the same level on his three starts since and needs to raise his game. |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won in fine style on his chase debut over C&D (heavy); he'll be tough to beat if reproducing that form now back here, but he's been well beaten on his two starts since (3m/3m2f, soft) and has to turn things around. |
8/1 |

26th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 34y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Point winner who impressed on his chase debut at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) in April; well beaten at Perth (3m, soft) 13 days later but that run may have come too soon and this lightly raced 8yo retains potential. |

26th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 34y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins this season from his first three chase starts (3m, good to soft) and another good run when second at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August last time out; takes on some unexposed rivals and it's likely he'll need further improvement, but his chasing experience is a positive. |
4/1 |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Just three runs over hurdles and now 2-3 over fences; didn't have much in hand last time at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft; 5lb lower) but dug deep when it mattered and runner-up Miss Antipova should go well in the opening race. |
