13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Ended last season in very poor form for Nigel Twiston-Davies but seemed to have turned a corner when close third of four (just behind Jakana) at Hexham (2m4f, good) for new stable three weeks ago, where a last-flight error might have cost him the race; has a fighting chance here; tongue-tie added. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Winless since 2023 and he signed off for Nigel Twiston-Davies when pulled up in 2m3f handicap at Bangor in April; changed hands for £2,000 subsequently and he needs a resurgence. |

12th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Ended 2024 with two good efforts on slow ground (2m4f/2m) but looked out of sorts when pulled up on both outings this year; may not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here, and others have much less to prove. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Flat bred but won his first two chases (2m, good), albeit with luck on his side the second time when left clear; latest run when last at Stratford just wasn't his true running; still looks competitively treated. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Not bred for chasing but is 2-2 since switched to fences in May; might have been fortunate at Perth last month (2m, good; leader fell at final fence) and is 2lb wrong here but still features prominently in calculations. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Flat/hurdles scorer; not totally fluent but easily beat Nathan Wells over C&D (good) last month on chase debut and looks open to further progress in this sphere; could well defy a 7lb rise. |

0-7 over hurdles but suffered an overreach when pulled up on heavy ground last month, and his previous defeat (also on heavy ground) came after a layoff; unraced on good ground since bumper debut in 2023 but moves up in trip for this chasing debut and current mark is workable if all goes to plan; cheekpieces/tongue-tie removed. |

11st 12lb |
Displayed ability in points in spring 2022 and there was a hint of promise on the second of his three novice hurdle runs, but he's not obviously well treated off this opening mark; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

Improved in each of his Irish points, going down by 5l in the final one; however, at 50-1 he dropped right out before pulling up in a 3m1f maiden at Huntingdon. |

Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but has responded positively to this headgear combination the last twice in handicaps over 2m5f and 2m3f (both on good); strong stayer on the Flat so this longer trip is worth a go. |

10st 12lb |
Well beaten when 66-1 for last month's handicap debut (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces); that came after a break and he remains unexposed, but he could be considered only if much stronger in the betting here. |

4th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Pretty poor so far but he's into handicaps on the driest ground he will have encountered to date and cheekpieces are fitted; possible improver. |

6th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |

Hasn't shown enough across his three starts (the last two over hurdles) to suggest he'll be making an impact this afternoon. |
