31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Only four completed when a 16l third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) and that was another effort well below the form he showed in 2024; reduced mark is for good reason but this isn't a strong race, so hard to leave him out of calculations. |

Well handicapped on his wins in staying chases two seasons ago but this campaign needs to turn a corner and he'd prefer softer ground. |

10st 12lb |
2-21 over fences, the latest win in January 2021; twice a runner-up on heavy ground last March but pulled up both starts since; probably needed the run last time after 235 days off and he now has a career-low mark, but others are more persuasive. |

10th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Twice a runner-up on heavy ground in March, including here, and probably found the good ground too lively when pulled up back here in April; has the ability to figure but has tended to need his first run back from a break in the past. |

1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has won four points, but 0-20 under rules (12 over fences); best recent run when second over 2m3f at Fontwell in March (heavy); quite interesting with visor replacing cheekpieces on stable debut. |

19th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Has very mixed record this season but ran well and looked the likely winner for a long way before weakening into third over C&D (heavy; just behind Mister Murchan) last month; 2lb lower today; can't rule out. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Did his winning for Evan Williams in batches, latterly when notching a hat-trick the winter before last; on a fair mark back from a short break but needs a revival after a few poor efforts in recent times. |
8/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Enjoyed very good campaign last season with three wins (two over fences); he's on a handy mark on that form but has been well beaten in fourth on both outings this term; needs to turn things around. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Off since April but in was in the zone back then having delivered seasonal form figures of 111222; the latest near miss was over C&D and he's only 2lb higher for this; hard to dismiss. |

26th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced since going close over hurdles at the end of 2022 and didn't show enough on his return from another absence over fences at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in December to make him of interest here; 3lb out of the weights. |
