21st Mar 2024 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Enhanced his excellent record at Lingfield when comfortably winning the Surrey National (3m5f, soft) in January; placed again there next time (well held) before having a rare spin over hurdles 16 days ago (beaten 27l off lower mark in that discipline); tailed off in a Welsh National on only previous visit here but entitled to be thereabouts. |

11st 13lb |
Enhanced his excellent record on the chase track here when comfortably winning the Sussex National (3m5f, soft) in January and again placed on his return visit after a 9lb rise; rated 11lb lower over hurdles and he's a better horse now than when last seen in this discipline. |

13th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |

Won five from six chases on this track, the one defeat coming when runner-up in this last year on good ground which may have been faster than ideal; went into his shell after but took advantage of a generous mark in no uncertain fashion over C&D 23 days ago (soft; first completion in blinkers); back up 9lb but still 3lb lower than last February; solid chance. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Tailed off two runs back but the season had started okay given the company he was in and it was a solid enough run to be beaten 6l last time at Fontwell (3m2f, soft); same career-low mark here and firmly in the reckoning. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Makes seasonal debut from a tempting mark and won't fail through lack of stamina but looked out of sorts on both outings at the start of this year and has done all his winning on soft ground; needs combination of wind surgery and first-time tongue-tie to prompt a revival. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |

No win since November 2023, but conditions suit and he comes into the reckoning following his good second at Chepstow nine days ago (2m7f, soft). |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on old form and will be suited by today's trip/ground but was pulled up at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month, after a layoff, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

Three-time chase winner who should be well handicapped and ran his best race for a while when second at Carlisle in February (3m, good to soft); has handled good ground in the past and should go well as his Herefordshire yard's only runner on the card. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 4f 85y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Bounced back to form in first-time blinkers at Bangor (3m5f, soft) last month, winning North Wales National under Lucy Turner; it's hard to tell whether the new headgear will continue to have a positive effect, and the forecast quicker ground here is probably not ideal, but he's still 5lb lower than when second in this race a year ago. |

Has a similar profile to stablemate Valleres in that he's lost his way but now tries new headgear off a much reduced mark; couldn't put a line through him. |

Useful stayer on his day; won the Classic Chase at Warwick (3m5f, soft) in 2021 and placed in that same major handicap last season; could go well off a handy mark with Exeter reappearance under his belt. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two small-field wins around 3m on good in the autumn; went off the boil subsequently but very much back on his game when second of 11 at Chepstow 17 days ago; raised 5lb for pulling clear of the rest but it looks justified given the third was successful back at Chepstow last week. |

10st 3lb |
Staged a major revival last May/June and finished well for close third in veterans' event at Sandown (3m) in November, but not so good on latest start; pulled up on both attempts at about 3m5f/3m6f, admittedly two winters back but a stronger promise of stamina would be preferred. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 2 |

Would probably prefer slower ground and he got outpaced before running on to finish third over 3m1f at Aintree the final time (good; second run for this yard); looks vulnerable for win purposes and he's 1lb wrong at the weights. |
16/1 |

16th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 2 |

Pulled up on final three starts for David Pipe in 2023-24 season but, following a layoff, was in process of running well for new stable before chance-ending jumping error in home straight at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) in December; not seen again since and not sure to be ideally suited by the faster ground here but remains well handicapped on old form. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |

Not the force of old and his losing spell goes back to February 2022; pulled up in this race last year but runner-up on next two starts (3m2f/3m1f) and his front-running sixth in the 3m4f London National at Sandown eight weeks ago wasn't a bad reappearance; stamina not proven. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Inconsistent 9yo who often looks very unenthusiastic; made all in valuable novices' handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in March 2024 but absent since two lacklustre runs at end of that year; had wind in September and now sports first-time cheekpieces; this first run after a layoff might be a good day to catch him in the right mood, but others are much less risky. |

21st Dec 2024 Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |

Inconsistent and pulled up on last month's reappearance at Bangor but he may have needed the run and this lightly raced 7yo could be tailor-made for today's assignment in view of last season's best efforts, including two fine runs on heavy ground here and a win at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in March. |
