29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In April last year he won a Fakenham handicap off 4lb higher but there's been nothing positive to take out of his last four races. |

30th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won off 1lb higher over C&D (good) for the Newland/Insole stable in April but both runs for John and Rhys Flint this season were very disappointing and he was tailed off for latest new trainer this month; the return to this track is a big plus but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Scored by 5l here (2m5f, good) in May and has remained in good form since (2m3f-2m7f); not yet proven on ground slower than good to soft or over this far but still features prominently in calculations. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May and has been a good second on two of her three starts since (2m3f/2m4f, good; including here); unproven at today's trip but this lightly raced 6yo has stamina in her pedigree and is open to further improvement for her top trainer; key player. |

0-17 under rules and absent since a poor performance in March but came second in consecutive chases during the winter (3m1f/2m7f) and will be favoured by the forecast rain here; contender if back on song. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front. |
3/1 |

A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving. |

Rather in and out this season but he beat two other finishers in 2m4f contest on heavy ground here in February, and that success was no bolt from the blue; more is required off a career-high mark but the step back up in trip should suit and Freddie Mitchell's claim is a plus. |

Showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by just over 9l at Hereford (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago and is now 3-13 over fences; 7lb higher here but this trip-and-ground combination will also suit. |

10st 10lb |
Hasn't won for nearly three years but he's often placed and was only just denied over 2m1f here in June, though he has to be forgiven a below-par run when well behind Stinginhisstep over C&D last month; could place again, with Brian Hughes taking over from a claimer, if back on song. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

C&D winner (2022, no win since) who was second twice here last summer; shaped as though the run might have been needed when finishing sixth of ten on reappearance over C&D (good) 20 days ago; on a competitive mark and likely to be all the sharper for that. |
