29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Failed to win during light campaign last season and dropped out very quickly after running well for a long way over C&D (good to soft; first-time visor) last month; positives can still be drawn from that recent effort but others in this field look much less risky; cheekpieces back on today. |

Failed to win during light campaign last season; didn't run badly when fifth of six at Doncaster (3m, good) in March and will be suited by the forecast rain here but still needs a boost from today's change of headgear. |

3rd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Made a good start to handicap career when winning at Cheltenham (3m, soft) in January 2023 but rather patchy since, including when finishing a well-beaten fourth of five on chase debut at Newbury in December; probably best watched on his reappearance over a trip short of his best. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Usually claimer ridden but now has Harry Cobden; the last of her ten wins was in August 2022; still shows plenty on occasions, including when seventh in the Pertemps Final last March and a close second back at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) three starts back; pulled up with cheekpieces enlisted on latest start; that headgear is now discarded but she's not the percentage call. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |

Usually claimer ridden; the last of her ten wins was in August 2022; still shows plenty on occasions, including when seventh in the Pertemps Final last March and a close second back at Cheltenham (2m4f) on penultimate outing; she performed far worse in the Musselburgh qualifier three weeks ago than she did last year, however, which sees cheekpieces enlisted. |

Pulled up over fences at Kelso when last seen out having won a Carlisle handicap chase (3m, good) in October; runs over hurdles for the first time for more than two years (C&D winner in October 2023); second run after wind op. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |

Not really firing on all cylinders since scrambling home by a neck on seasonal debut at Carlisle (3m, good) in October but now 6lb below that mark, and didn't run badly when last of five finishers here (3m2f, good to soft) in March; had another wind op (his third) soon after that latest outing; one to consider. |

Last win was off a higher mark and he'll appreciate returning to further after chasing home a good thing over 2m4f at Ayr (soft; fine on good ground); that was a welcome return to form; definite chance if he can back it up. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Rediscovered the knack for new stable last year, including two front-running wins over 2m in four-runner Flat races and two places when the action got more competitive; returned to some hurdles form on last two outings in that sphere; a lesser show on Musselburgh Flat in between was over 1m6f but this race may also prove too tough. |

Four-time Flat winner is 2-19 over hurdles; 8l behind Laughing John when runner up in qualifier for this at Wincanton on penultimate; modest run on the level at Musselburgh on latest; others make more appeal. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Three-time hurdle winner; last of five over C&D (good to soft) on last month's chasing debut but faced a fairly tough assignment that day and wasn't beaten far; entitled to have learned from that experience and is well handicapped now; one to consider. |
10/1 |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Three-time hurdle winner; posted some very respectable efforts in that sphere this spring (2m4f-2m7f) and makes chasing debut from a good mark but takes on three bang-in-form rivals who are already proven over fences. |
8/1 |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Arguably ran better than eventual 14l defeat suggests when weakening fourth at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month and is now 5lb lower than when winning at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in December; can play a major role if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |

Three-time hurdles winner; last win in that sphere came in a C&D handicap in February 2024 (2m7f, soft); won a Fairyhouse novice chase in January last year (2m6f, soft); poor over fences this term but some okay efforts over timber; beaten 20l in fourth at Fairyhouse last time (3m, yielding); blinkers replace the cheekpieces and decent chance at this level. |

Ran okay to be beaten about 10l at Aintree (behind Park Of Kings) and that was after a lengthy break; however, he's an exposed dual-purpose performer and others are more intriguing. |

Staying-on second in a Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m6f, yielding) on this day last year, before running a shocker in Aintree Grade 1 (3m, soft) in April; won a three-runner race at 1-12 on reappearance in November and withdrawn twice since on heavy ground; surely still brings potential at this sort of trip and is very much one to note on handicap debut. |

9yo was once rated 132 over hurdles but has been sparingly raced in recent years and out of sorts in early summer; four previous chase outings came back in 2022, faller twice; hard to be confident in. |
