19th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won smoothly on soft ground in this race last year (7lb higher today); handicapper has had the call since but seconds at Warwick (3m5f, good) and Haydock (3m4f, good) on last two outings showed that he should have a big say in this very small field. |

11st 9lb |
Returned to form with good second off this mark at Warwick (3m5f, good) ten days ago; he's inconsistent and this is a quick return to action, but he can be in the mix if reproducing that latest form. |

11st 6lb |
Only beaten 4l in this last year when 5lb higher and best run since was her latest when runner-up at Kelso (3m2f); although some 14l off the winner, she was on the back foot after early interference and ran well all things considered; respected. |

Placed off 3lb higher in North Wales National at Bangor (3m5f, heavy) in February but has been well beaten on all three starts since, most recently when upped to 4m and fitted with cheekpieces (retained) for Borders National here three weeks ago; needs to turn a corner. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Something to prove regarding current form as he's failed to shine over fences this winter, but he's 1-14 in chases as opposed to 3-10 over hurdles, and perhaps the return to this discipline will trigger a revival. |
12/1 |

27th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capable stayer but has struggled with consistency; finished a 10l fourth at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, a race in which Vision De Maine was pulled up, but that was a laboured effort; handles most ground and has the ability to get involved but comes with risk. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-10 over fences; ran well for a long way when third in C&D hunter chase (soft; first-time visor) last month and should be okay on today's faster ground but probably needs a better performance in this handicap. |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in heavy-ground marathon at Bangor in February and now 0-9 as a handicap chaser but his fifth at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) two starts ago was respectable; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor and has the services of James King for hunter chase debut; could be dangerous at this level. |

21st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won the 2021 Warwick Classic over 3m5f and good third in that race last January; well handicapped on that form but this 10yo has been well beaten on both runs this season and needs to bounce back. |

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. |

29th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but much less prolific as a chaser, and seemingly on the downgrade now; fell at first fence when tried in blinkers this month; usual cheekpieces are refitted here; others have more pressing claims. |

Sole chase win came over 3m at Exeter (heavy; from 12lb higher) on New Year's Day 2023; weakened, finishing down the field (beaten 27l) on recent Warwick seasonal reappearance; now dropping in trip, into a Class 5 in newly applied blinkers. |

Finished tired and well beaten on last month's seasonal debut but that outing ought to have brought him on and he can pose a threat here if able to replicate the form he showed when placed twice on soft ground last spring (3m4f/3m); cheekpieces (worn for last two races) are discarded. |
