29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Lightly raced gelding who did well in handicap chases last season for Dan Skelton before losing his way; beaten in two points for current yard and he'll need more here; has won on heavy. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Scored by 8l on seasonal/chase debut at Carlisle (3m2f, good to soft) in October and was placed over 3m on next two outings; finished very weakly when upped to 3m5f at Warwick last month, which is a concern, but could plausibly still have untapped potential over marathon trips. |

11st 3lb |
Won 2m6f maiden hurdle at Exeter but minimal impact in handicaps since and fifth of six finishers at Wincanton recently; dam was a 3m-4m chase winner, though, so this second start over fences could offer a way forward. |

0-16 under rules but has consistent record over hurdles; lost out only by a neck when clear second here (2m, good) last month and will be suited by today's move back up in trip; leading contender. |

The winner of two points; 15 defeats under rules split evenly between bumpers, hurdles and chases; has threatened in all those disciplines and should nick a race sooner or later, for all that he's twice been below par since a good run over fences here in January. |

Only win came on good ground off 2lb higher here last May (3m1f); has run well since then but form has taken a turn for the worse this year and should have run better only 19 days ago at Hereford when back on good ground. |

Only win came on good ground off this mark at Warwick last May (3m1f); was knocking on the door in the autumn (on good and good to soft) and a softer surface has perhaps found him out the last twice; better expected. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual chase winner (2m7f/3m) in autumn of 2024; lightly raced since but he was disputing third when he fell at the last at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December; returns after another break but conditions should be fine and he's now 1lb lower than for his last win; respected. |

Couple of poor efforts in the spring but commenced last term (and chase career) with two wins, including on good ground at Ascot; this reappearance may be the time to catch him. |

Still unexposed under rules (particularly on good ground) but was safely held in first two handicaps, latterly on chasing debut in April; drops back in trip here; cheekpieces removed; others have much less to prove. |

No threat on his four hurdle runs, most recently on handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft); however, this lightly raced point winner is a possible improver now switched to fences and it will be no surprise to see a good run; first-time cheekpieces replace the visor adopted last time. |

11th attempt under rules when off the mark in a seven-runner handicap at Southwell (3m, good) four weeks ago with a second-time visor; 3lb higher today but has a big shout if that performance is repeated. |
