19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft); well beaten here last month, after a layoff, and Miss Maverick is unlikely to allow him an uncontested lead today but, nevertheless, his course record can't be ignored. |
20/1 |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft), including the last two editions of this race; absent since poor Flat run in October but there's a good chance he'll be primed to make a bold bid from the front today. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner (good to soft); returns to this code after a successful spell over hurdles; was below par when seen here (1m6f, good to firm) in June but it would be no surprise to see him closely involved now on slower ground, back up in trip and from 2lb lower. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and has continued in good form, finishing second on his last two starts (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); very solid claims. |
4/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Record of 212 since switched back to hurdles from chasing, the win at Wetherby (2m, soft) in first-time cheekpieces; Musselburgh effort (1m7f, good to soft) last time resulted in a career-best RPR; should go well in the retained headgear. |

Both his wins have been over 1m7f at Catterick, the latest off this mark in February 2024 (soft); several fair efforts since, including after a 325-day break last time; each-way chance. |

3rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Something to prove having been pulled up at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) latest; however, his chase debut fifth at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December wasn't devoid of promise, when jumping to the left at that right-handed track, and this lightly raced 6yo is not written off now in cheekpieces. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |

C&D winner but he arrives below par, only sixth of eight in 14f Carlisle handicap 33 days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |

Three wins on the Flat, the latest at Redcar last September (1m6f, good to firm); hasn't been at his best this year, although fair run when 10l fourth of 12 at Beverley last time (good to firm). |

11st 0lb |
16-race maiden under rules; has been struggling on the Flat during the summer and made a belated return to hurdles when seventh of ten finishers at Perth (2m, soft) nine days ago; steps up in trip and has work to do. |

23rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |

Disappointing maiden who hasn't shown a great deal since joining Micky Hammond in the summer; today's less-testing ground may enable him to better his recent efforts but others appeal more all the same. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made the frame twice in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) but was well beaten at Cartmel three months ago with no obvious excuse; just two wins from 45 attempts over hurdles and he's fully exposed. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Has very modest 2-44 strike-rate over hurdles but made the frame on both starts in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) and is suited by this C&D; won't mind what the weather does; probably won't be far away. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed over C&D (soft) for Tracy Waggott in November and started off for new stable with two respectable 2m4f runs in March/April, but he's 0-10 over hurdles now and competes from 1lb out of the weights today. |
16/1 |
Verdict
For all that Calevade (next best), Coup De Gold and Robin Goodfellow are at least 7lb better off with him, EL JEFE is taken to defy his penalty and complete a C&D hat-trick, given the manner of his two recent wins. Beat Box looks a potential player and don’t be surprised if better is seen from Attention All.[Jonathan Doidge]
