9th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Below par in last two completed starts, then early faller latest; won off just 1lb lower at Taunton (2m7f) in December and a return to that form would put him in the picture. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 5f 150y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Just lasted home in a 2m7f chase on good to soft here in December when only 1lb lower; nowhere near as good since then but returning here will be no bad thing (also finished fourth in this 12 months ago). |

5th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't won since 2021 (3m, good) and has failed to build on a respectable third in a Market Rasen handicap chase in December (carried out once); has plenty to prove from out of the weights. |

9th 12 |
30th May 2024 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fair third in a Market Rasen handicap chase in December; has not fared as well since (latest run on Flat on the AW); has stiff task from 17lb out of the handicap. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
In good form last spring, most notably when scoring by 8l off today's mark at Uttoxeter (3m, soft), but he returned from a layoff with three disappointing runs in December/January; had another wind op (his third) during latest 12-week break and needs to get his career back on track. |

21st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last May and did it in good style; however, he was pulled up/soundly beaten on his two outings last month and is hard to fancy on the back of those. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Resurgent 10yo who ended last season with two 2m5f wins (good/good to soft) and posted another good effort when close second of 13 at Hexham (2m4f, good) this month; obvious contender. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Has come right back to form on last two starts, winning at Hereford (2m5f, good) and Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft); has gone up 9lb but should go well again. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Without a win since 2023 but was placed in three chases last season and continues to edge down the weights; beaten about 20l when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) on latest outing in March but this slightly shorter trip may suit him better; considered each-way. |

12th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Two places but not much more than a length behind Boys Of Wexford when fourth in this race last year (soft); unimproved by a tongue-tie here latest (retained) but notably is back at last to his previous winning mark. |

21st May 2024 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Respectable sixth over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in March and now 4lb lower than when winning in that sphere last spring but lacked fluency and was pulled up on his only previous chasing attempt (in December). |

25th Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Gained his breakthrough victory at Carlisle (2m3f) last April and wasn't disgraced after 11 weeks off when a fading fifth of 12 in 2m3f Doncaster handicap last month; he should take a step forward now. |
