14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who was in and out last season but returned to form when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in March last time; could have a part to play if conditions are suitable (he's unraced on good ground under rules). |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-22 under all codes but ran big race when second in this contest a year ago (soft) ground and is effectively 1lb lower today; reverts to chasing after respectable hurdle run in March; could have a say. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
The veteran of this field but he's a maiden (0-20 under rules); runner-up seven times but they were all over fences (from 14 chases) and his record over hurdles (latest attempt last April) is pretty threadbare. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won two handicap hurdles in the spring of 2022 (3m/3m3f, good to soft); has been rather disappointing in his six runs over fences; no easy task from 4lb out of the handicap. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three nothing runs have followed since going close over fences at Warwick in March; returns to hurdling with cheekpieces added but he's 5lb out of the weights. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-14 under rules; ran big race in defeat at Warwick (2m4f, good) in March, after a layoff, and has good claims if judged on that effort but but two non-completions have followed; others preferred. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-10 as a chaser but ran a good race in defeat at Warwick (2m4f, good) before falling early at Southwell; being 3lb out of the weights is not ideal but hard to rule out. |

3rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Something to prove having been pulled up at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) latest; however, his chase debut fifth at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December wasn't devoid of promise, when jumping to the left at that right-handed track, and this lightly raced 6yo is not written off now in cheekpieces. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
His sole success came back in 2021 but he showed more than of late when fifth of 11 in 2m6f Stratford handicap chase three weeks ago; more is required from 5lb out of the handicap however. |
