Has gained all chase wins at Ludlow, the most recent in late 2023; dismal form since, including at that venue; not the percentage call. |

27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Has won a couple of Class 3 chases, three-milers at Ludlow (good to soft) and Kempton (good); has shown that he can live with current mark but the depth of today's race demands a career best from him. |

3rd 3 |
13th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Well suited by sharp/flat tracks, as his C&D win (on good ground) last May confirms; Cheltenham wasn't his thing in November and he duly bounced back at Ludlow (3m, soft; close second) last month; solid claims in another favourable scenario. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 |
20th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Dropped away after forcing the pace at Cheltenham a month ago when perhaps in need of the run; struck form in the spring, winning over C&D (good to soft) and following up at Kempton (good); 8lb higher than latterly but only a 7yo with just 11 runs behind him; considered. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in the Becher here in December and his two subsequent hunter chase runs have yielded an early fall and disappointing defeat; twice placed over these fences, however, most recently in the Grand Sefton over C&D in November, and could have an each-way shout if back on song in change of headgear. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Pulled up in the Becher Chase at Aintree in December but finished a very good second in the Grand Sefton (2m5f, good to soft) the previous month; returned to hunter chasing with quite a spill at Catterick a fortnight ago but holds leading claims if that hasn't left a mark. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Pulled up in the Becher Chase at Aintree last time but had previously finished a very good second in the Grand Sefton (2m5f, good to soft); did well hunter chasing back in 2024 and the one to beat. |

Cashed in on historically tiny marks for this season's Fontwell (3m2f) and Taunton (3m4.5f) successes, and remains competitively treated; found the funereal pace against him last time; no ground concerns. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Rated higher in the past but not as good as he was and couldn't make the most of a soft lead in a small field at Southwell (3m, good). |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Kept on well for second in Ludlow hunter chase (3m, good to soft) in April and will be suited by the forecast good ground here but this veteran is no longer the force of old and has become inconsistent. |

Fakenham scorer off 8lb higher just over a year ago (2m5f, good) but with one exception miles below that level since; appreciable rain would diminish his appeal yet further. |

24th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |

Inconsistent and generally regressive 10yo; has claims if judged on his second at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in November but two lesser efforts followed that; returns from 108-day break today. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Still in front when falling on his return to hunter chasing in January but ran miserably at Leicester next time where soft ground was no excuse; had been in good form in handicaps before those setbacks and would take some beating if back on song. |

3rd 2 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |

Good form in handicaps this winter includes a Leicester success; still in front when falling at Warwick returned to hunter chasing last time; retains all of his ability and is top on the figures in this field. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Commendable second in last season's Aintree Foxhunters' (2m5f, good to soft) and as good as ever in recent 2m4f handicaps; stays 3m well and won't be fazed if the ground turns soft (unraced on heavy); ought to be hard to beat on return to hunter chasing. |
