Has inconsistent form but this seasonal/chase debut may be the time to catch him; gained sole hurdles win on reappearance last term; had wind surgery (his second) since last run. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Weakened when well-beaten third at Doncaster (3m2f, soft) last month and needs to bounce back; however, he was running very well in defeat otherwise this winter (3m/3m1f, good-soft) and this C&D winner will be in the mix if back on song this afternoon. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Seems to be adding some consistency to his game and has been bang there in his last three handicap chases (3m-3m1f), latterly chasing home Dartmoor Pirate here; he does look in the grip of the handicapper but he'll probably run well once more. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Three wins during last season's first campaign over fences (2m3f-3m, including on soft) and this front-runner has run well to be placed on his last two starts, most recently when just outstayed over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 3m1f; today's 3m around a flat track could prove ideal. |

Wind surgery before second and first in soft-ground handicaps in December for new yard, latterly over 3m2f at Warwick; fourth of 11 there three weeks later was creditable on form but showed that he now needs improvement; withdrawn when the ground was officially good at Bangor four weeks ago. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Disappointed when dropped back to 2m4f here in July but began his chasing career with two promising thirds (2m5f/2m7f, good) and will be suited by today's return to 3m; has a fighting chance if back on song. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won twice over hurdles and has kicked off over fences with fairly close thirds over 2m5f here and 2m7f at Worcester; looks on the right sort of mark but considered each-way. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Dual hurdle winner who was beaten 5l on chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m5f; stays this far) where a mistake three out didn't help the cause; should run well. |

11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made a quite promising chase debut when fourth at Newbury (2m7f, soft) in January; ran as though something was amiss when warm favourite the following month and not seen since but still has scope to progress from that Newbury run if all is well here. |

Bumper and novice hurdle winner with low mileage; back from a break and wind surgery when beaten under 8l on his switch to fences at Newbury (2m7f, soft); made the odd mistake there but entitled to be all the wiser this time; considered. |

3rd Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up after looking very unenthusiastic on chasing debut in June but, with a visor added, he's never been better than when runner-up on all three starts since (2m7f-3m2f handicap chases); can make the running; should not be far away. |

Overcame some late interference to win in second-time cheekpieces over 3m here and a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging; does need good ground so watch the weather. |

17th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won his maiden hurdle on good ground and had the same conditions when making a successful chase debut at Taunton (2m7f) and when second of three at Wetherby in March; his pull-ups on either side of that were in the mud; back on this surface he should have a part to play. |
