11st 2lb |
12yo returning from 315 days off when 33-1 at Chepstow (3m, soft) 19 days ago but he had the call from approaching the final flight; back up 5lb in this hot race, he needs to find best form since his peak year of 2021. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Useful at his peak and still versatile last term, winning over 1m7f (heavy) and 3m1f (soft); however, backward steps on last two starts and he's now a 12yo returning from 315 days off. |

Useful at his peak and still versatile at the age of 11, winning over 1m7f (heavy) and 3m1f (soft) this term; however, put firmly in his place by Cuthbert Dibble at Haydock last time and may struggle to turn things round. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Useful staying handicap hurdler in his prime; fair run at Cheltenham on first two starts this season but not been at his best on last three starts. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Big improver during the 2023-24 season but chasing didn't go well last campaign; this one started well back over hurdles but he's been back in the doldrums in his last two races. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Highly progressive staying hurdler in the 2023-24 campaign, including on heavy ground, and chasing didn't work out for him last season; ran pretty well over hurdles on first two starts this term but needs to bounce back from a poor show at Haydock three weeks ago; player if he does. |

Tailed off on his stable and seasonal debut at Newton Abbot in October but may have needed the run and a good case can be made on last winter's form, including a win at Exeter (2m7f, heavy) in February; chance. |

Never looked happy when a remote third to the reopposing Astronomic View at Warwick (3m2f, soft) three weeks ago and now has headgear refitted for the first time since joining this yard; had been in good form prior to that latest run. |

10st 12lb |
Ran well over 2m4f here in October but this is a stiffer assignment and she has shown no further progress, well-held third to notable stablemate at Navan (Listed) most recently; sole win over hurdles came in an ordinary race last summer; others preferred. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Smart in his prime but has not shown a great deal this season and was tailed off in C&D contest won by Final Orders last month; effectively 1lb higher today; difficult to enthuse over. |

9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Regular in marathon chases who bounced back to form when second of 14 in this headgear combination at Bangor (3m6f, soft; 40-1) last month; back up 5lb and despite some fine efforts he has gone 22 starts without a win since November 2020; others more solid. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |

Former Welsh National runner-up but rarely seems up for the challenge these days and was beaten a distance on his sole completion this season; new headgear provides some cause for optimism but far too risky to trust. |

24th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Had a career-low jumps mark when winning at Aintree (3m, soft) in November; that was a doughty performance but he reverted to heavy defeats on both starts since; has been wearing cheekpieces but now tries a visor; 7lb claimer is recruited. |
25/1 |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |

Well down the weights and took advantage with Aintree win (3m, soft) in November; that was a doughty performance but he reverted to a heavy defeat when back up 5lb at Newbury three weeks later; needs more like the novice form he showed in the 2021-22 season. |

11st 4lb |
Fourth in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in 2020 and won it (again 3m on soft; same mark today) in 2022; absent since until pulled up in the Warwick qualifier four weeks ago, when he'd reportedly needed the run but it would have been preferable had he shown a bit more. |

Fourth in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in 2020 and won it (again 3m on soft) in 2022, having been third in this qualifier; same mark today as for that win but he's not been seen since, which poses a big question and trainer says "he will probably need the run"; Grade 1 Stayers' Hurdle entry. |
