22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
midfield, dropped to rear after 2nd, reminders after 3rd, soon raced in last and detached, pulled up before 6th, never going well |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Caused a 200-1 surprise when landing a novice at Exeter (2m2f, heavy) in February but he stopped quickly and was pulled up at Bangor next time; still unexposed but has bit to prove again on this handicap debut and drying ground would be an unknown factor. |

28th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
First two starts saw him beat a total of one rival; 200-1, therefore, for a novice hurdle at Exeter (2m2f, heavy) 17 days ago but he made most to win that eight-runner race, rallying to see off the 4-9 favourite; wandered at plenty of his hurdles that day and looks the type to improve but the penalty may be his undoing today. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Largely progressive prior to bleeding from the nose on his final start last season (February) and he did not show much when pulled up again here in November, albeit in a top 3m2f handicap chase (22-1); this is his first hurdle race since October 2024 and there are plenty of reasons to believe he's well handicapped if all is well with him. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won over 2m5f on heavy here 13 months ago; consistent in defeat this season in handicaps at about this distance, running his usual honest race last time at Ascot; has nudged up the weights so his rider's 7lb claim is welcomed; good to soft is fine but he has a bit to prove on good. |

2nd 12 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) just under a year ago and has made the frame over 2m7f there on all three starts this season but has a bit more on his plate in this higher grade and needs a career-best effort. |

11st 13lb |
Won 2m maiden hurdle in March 2024 but an unknown quantity now, having been pulled up in two hurdle runs either side of three non-completions in points; now has a go in headgear. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |

Returns to rules action on the back of three non-completions in points but he has been competitive off this mark in the past and still only a 7yo; could be a surprise package after changing yards. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Novice chaser who has several pieces of sound form at up to 2m4f this season, including a second at Aintree; however, below that level in major handicaps in two of his last three starts, seeming a non-stayer at Doncaster (soft) in the sole 3m attempt; stamina to prove back up in trip. |
16/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Fairly useful novice chaser who scored easily at Doncaster in November and has performed creditably off current mark twice since, albeit failed to justify favouritism when sent up to Newcastle (2m4f) last time; goes into deeper waters at this level. |
11/1 |

2nd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Always ridden by Jamie Neild; walked over on his second chase assignment and easily made all in four-runner handicap at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in November; another big run from the front when second of five at Aintree (2m4f) next time, before his first attempt at 3m did not work out in a Grade 3 handicap four weeks ago; he should be of renewed interest back at 2m4f. |

13-race maiden who has been pulled up in both runs over fences (2m3f) and was tailed off back over hurdles at Exeter (2m, good) last time; opposable. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Course winner who was in good form until pulled up in 3m Chepstow handicap 19 days ago; he may have found that run coming too quickly so is worth another chance in refitted cheekpieces. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not always one to rely upon heavily but won at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) last month and stayed on for third (just behind Blue In The West) in big field there (2m7f, good to soft) nine days ago; could have a say. |

Returned to form with 4l win here (2m5f, heavy) last month but was safely held when fourth over C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago and is not one to rely upon; others preferred. |
