30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has won his last two handicap chases, at Southwell (2m4f, good) and last time a conditional riders' event at Sedgefield by 17l (2m5f, good; clear leader fell four out); went up 10lb for that even though he wasn't sure to have won; can run off his old mark here; contender. |

Pretty consistent and the front two were clear when off the mark over fences (1-14) at Southwell (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; has gone up 8lb but Tom Midgley takes away 3lb out of that with his claim. |

10st 8lb |
Won easily by 21l off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in April but has lost his way in recent weeks and was pulled up when returned to Market Rasen on Saturday; needs a rebound. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |

Won by 21l over C&D in April (good to soft) but more recent efforts have been underwhelming; others have more going for them. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Without a win since 2021 but has made the frame on all four starts this season, most notably when second at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) two runs ago; continues to slip down the weights and has possibilities if the first-time cheekpieces give him a boost. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins divided between hurdles and fences; has raced mostly at about 2m but seemed to stay Sedgefield's extended 2m3f (soft) when runner-up three weeks ago; drops into a Class 5 here and must have a chance. |

His last win was over C&D in late 2024 but 0-11 in the meantime and hasn't delivered an effort of note this campaign. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |

He's dropped to a mark 9lb lower than when winning at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December 2024 but he's hard to fancy on this season's evidence. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Tailed off over fences on his return from over a year out, when tried in a hood which is now dispensed with; has never been the easiest to win with and has a lot to prove right now. |

3rd Oct 2023 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Returned from a break to win on stable debut at Catterick in March 2022 (1m7f, good to soft); poor efforts last twice and probably best watched after a year off, with hood now tried. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a Warwick novice handicap chase (2m, soft) off an 8lb higher mark in March 2023; fair run when over hurdles at Bangor in June (2m, good); cheekpieces tried; bit to prove. |

21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Generally disappointing since winning chase debut in March 2023 but posted a couple of decent efforts over hurdles in June (albeit a late faller on latter occasion) and reverts to fences with renewed hope. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Narrow winner off 7lb higher over fences at Warwick (2m, soft) last March; has not matched that form since but he returned to hurdling with a second in C&D novice (good) three weeks ago; was allowed to dictate in that race but that was more like it and he's in the mix back in a handicap; one of two runners for yard. |

Regressive 10yo who was badly out of form over hurdles and fences last season; has plummeted to a lowly mark but needs to have been refreshed by recent three-month break. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on exploits for previous stable but has yet to run a race of any great note for current yard; lots to prove right now. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |

Ex-Oliver Greenall; wasn't in the best of form when last seen out (on unsuitable soft ground) late last year; can do better on this ground particularly as 14lb lower than for last win (2m4f on good to firm at Ludlow in 2022). |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over fences here (2m, good) in June 2023 but was well beaten here on both starts this autumn (2m4f hurdle/3m chase); still has stamina to prove over this sort of trip and is 3lb wrong today; others preferred. |
14/1 |
Verdict
Heritier (second choice) might fancy fences a bit more now after his return to winning ways over hurdles and Couldbeaweapon should go well if making a better chaser than hurdler, which seems highly likely. However, OUT ON THE TEAR ran well for a long way behind a sharp improver at Huntingdon and he’s fully entitled to strip fitter for this.[Alistair Jones]
