2nd 3 |
31st May 2024 Good To Soft 3m 3f 119y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Improving 6yo; second in what's always a good hunter chase at Haydock before going on to win his next three, bringing up the hat-trick at Cheltenham (3m2f, soft) despite jumping right late on; won that despite not being at his best and hard to beat here. |
5/4 |

1st 3 |
3rd May 2024 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Creditable second in good-quality Haydock hunter chase (2m6f, heavy) on rules debut in February and a dual 2m4f winner since (heavy/soft); forced to work very hard to justify short odds at Ludlow last month but the front two pulled a long way clear; sets very good standard of rules form and will be hard to beat if today's trip-and-ground combination suits. |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Will be suited by today's good ground and was a very useful handicap chaser in his prime but was out of form for Fergal O'Brien when last seen last summer and it's hard to gauge how much ability he retains as a 12yo. |

5th 3 |
6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well in defeat in Ludlow hunter chase (2m4f, soft) in April but was well beaten when back in a handicap two months ago and is patently not the force of old; pulled up at 2023 Cheltenham Festival on only previous start in cheekpieces. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Placed in a Grand Sefton and a Topham for Alan King so these fences hold no fears; returned from a lengthy break to win a February point by 15l and he's had wind surgery since; this veteran could have a part to play. |

2nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Well below par in his last two runs (hunter chase latest) with and without the cheekpieces that triggered a return to winning ways in a 3m handicap at Doncaster over Christmas (good); not the easiest to predict and ideally wants drier ground, but too talented to rule out. |

Regressive 11yo who was well beaten when fourth in pair of 2m4f Ludlow hunter chases this spring; needs first-time visor to make a massive difference here. |

A regressive 11yo without a performance of note for a good while now; very opposable. |

Capable on his day for Paul Webber but an infrequent winner at the best of times and he was pulled up in a hunter chase last month after a long absence. |
