13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lost his way last season but his Fontwell return was a lot more like it (behind two of these); could build on that run which came after 211 days off. |

Four staying chase wins but lost his form last season and arrives here with plenty to prove. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won twice at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last March but returned from a break with two very disappointing runs there in December (cheekpieces added last time) and arrives here with quite a bit to prove. |

12st 0lb |
10lb higher than when taking this race 12 months ago but won again here on Boxing Day off this mark; not the most consistent of mares but she's dangerous to discount given her liking for the track. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
A three-time scorer (including over C&D) last season; hinted at a revival when a never-nearer fifth over 3m4f at Taunton last month so needs considering off a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time chase winne, the latest at Ffos Las (3m4f, good) off this mark in October; has been below par in three runs since but his usual cheekpieces are back on and he may appreciate this better ground. |
6/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Readily beat a stablemate in small-field marathon here (3m4f, good) in October and will be fine on today's slower ground but his two runs towards the end of last year were disappointing and he needs to have been refreshed by 101-day break. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Versatile regarding the ground; not yet off the mark but he's been on the premises in handicap chases at 3m and 2m4f since last October, when running well on return from a break; place chance. |

4th May 2024 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-7 over fences but ran quite well when third at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) last month and is now 6lb lower than when second over C&D (good to soft) in October; must be considered. |

Her trainer talked of retirement after last week's narrow win at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy; ran on well) but she reappears under a penalty and should go well again. |

31st Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Bettered underwhelming chase debut when close second at Leicester (2m6f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in January and has claims if judged on that performance but was struggling before stamina might have been an issue over 3m1f at Plumpton this month and can't be relied upon. |
