2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Defied a virtually identical absence to today's at Perth this time last year (good); inconsistent when last seen, however, and over three and a half years since he last lowered a mark in the 120s. |

Course winner here last September (2m4f, good); back to winning ways last time at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft); interesting contender off this 5lb higher mark. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who was close to his peak form when second to Kiwi De Cotte over what turned out to be an extended 3m at Market Rasen (good) three weeks ago; versatile ground-wise; no surprise if he features. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
1lb higher than for the 3m win at Aintree last October (good); hasn't approached that form in his only three races since but this is a drop in grade; should go well. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won two handicaps over similar trips to this last season, both on good ground; latest run in a Class 2 wasn't too bad and he's capable when fresh; this mark isn't beyond him. |

22nd May 2024 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won four times over hurdles (2m7f-3m2f) and is versatile in terms of underfoot conditions; has shown ability over fences, particularly when a close third of five at Doncaster (3m, soft); latest Huntingdon effort was inexplicably poor, though, so best watched at present. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Blinkers are turned to after finishing tailed off a month ago and her previous thirds were no great advertisement for her prospects here; probably wants softer ground as well. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in a quite valuable Hereford mares' chase (3m1f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in December and also ran well when filling same position in Bangor marathon (3m5f, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the quicker ground here but still respected. |
9/4 |

3rd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Third over 3m1f at Hereford last time (soft; first-time cheekpieces), making the frame in that handicap for the second successive season; consistent but perhaps doesn't win as often as she should (1-15 over fences and runner-up five times); unraced beyond about 3m1f. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Resumed with victory at Exeter (2m3f) in November and in good form until pulled up in 2m3f handicap chase at Fontwell ten days ago; this course winner is the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear, though. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Did well for cheekpieces going on last year, winning three times at 2m3f-2m5f, latterly off 3lb lower, and going a stone and a half up the weights; 2m7f looked to find him out at Newbury last month and this is less competitive back down in trip; holds decent claims. |
5/2 |
|
4th 3 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
All good since the cheekpieces went on, winning three times (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); kept on well for third off today's mark at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) last month and returning to further looks the right move. |
