11st 2lb |
Won this 12 months ago (good to soft) and continued in fine form last season, adding a competitive handicap at Kempton (3m, soft) in February; there could still be mileage in his mark and he may have needed last month's reappearance run at Wincanton (well-beaten fourth); one to consider. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Placed over conventional fences at two Cheltenham Festivals and runner-up over C&D on both appearances this season (good/soft); stuck to his task very well when one length behind Stumptown on latest occasion and is 5lb better off with that rival today; one for the shortlist. |

13th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |

0-14 over fences despite some big runs on occasions; never-nearer second of nine when he had his first crack at a C&D race four weeks ago, which was eyecatching if viewed in isolation and puts him in serious contention if repeated, but it would not be the greatest shock were that to prove a false dawn. |

Won four chases on the trot at up to 2m5f two seasons ago, including over 2m4f here (good); hasn't won since, but fair effort when second at Warwick two runs ago (2m4f, soft); not so good with cheekpieces (left off here) back on last time; has form at 3m; overall a bit to prove. |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner; 4-12 over fences, the latest win gained off 2lb higher over C&D (good to soft) in February 2023; shaped as if retaining all his ability at Doncaster on reappearance, and less positive tactics seemed to backfire over a longer trip at Musselburgh next time; should have optimum conditions here and he's high on the list. |

11st 3lb |
Drew a blank and was unable to replicate his best form last season but went close off much reduced mark in series final at Warwick (3m, good) in March; probably not ideally suited by the soft ground when slightly below that form at Bangor last month and can play a major role here. |

26th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Usually gives his running but has a poor strike-rate over fences (1-18) and he dropped away to be beaten some 31l last time at Warwick when the subject of strong market support in first-time blinkers; one of the highest rated in here but others appeal more. |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Often runs well in defeat but he's now 1-17 over fences, having performed below his best the last twice; connections turn to blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) for some assistance; others are safer. |

Won over hurdles after wind surgery and then ran okay to be fourth over 3m at Kempton in a race he won the previous season; there's nothing wrong with his mark and always a chance that blinkers will bring him on. |

Comfortable winner of this race (good to soft) off the same mark last year; found life tough over fences at the start of this season but bounced back to form after wind surgery to win 2m5f course novice hurdle (good to soft) five weeks ago, holding on gamely; can win this race again. |
