25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple winner but hasn't achieved a great deal since his 25-1 Plumpton win last September; however, he likes good ground and his mark is dropping. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Made all to cause 25-1 surprise at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in September, after a break, but generally disappointing since; pulled up when back at Plumpton a week ago, and can't be supported with much confidence here. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
10yo who has finished merely seventh on his last three starts, the latest in January; however, a break may have helped and he was returning from some time off when winning under Jamie Gambin over C&D (good) last September; now 3lb lower than for that win and not discounted. |

11st 9lb |
Won handicaps at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) and Fakenham (2m7f, good) before getting found out by the drop back to 2m4f at Worcester (still ran well); softening ground would be a cause for concern. |

Has improved since stepping up in trip and going handicapping, getting off the mark in a mares' race at Huntingdon last time (3m1f, good) having finished runner-up in a C&D handicap (good; form worked out well) the time before; up 6lb; strong chance. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut. |

Won handicap chase over this trip at Worcester in the summer of 2022 (good); mainly disappointing since and was pulled up at Plumpton when tried back over hurdles in first-time blinkers (retained) last time when reportedly he never travelled. |

1st Apr 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Well handicapped on his winning form over hurdles and fences, but it's been hard work this season (chasing) following a long absence; risky in the first-time blinkers (replacing usual cheekpieces). |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Newcomer to fences and there are chasers in the family; has been running well for a while over hurdles at up to 3m and bumped into an in-form rival last time; could feature if finding some fluency over his fences. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Good-ground winner for claiming riders over 3m2f here last May and 2m7f last September; competitive on last three outings (good to soft latest) and needs respect despite this being his shortest trip for over two years. |

0-12 over hurdles; ran well when second in first-time visor at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) two starts ago but is far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily, and drying ground may not be ideal for him on this chasing debut. |

0-7 over hurdles but suffered an overreach when pulled up on heavy ground last month, and his previous defeat (also on heavy ground) came after a layoff; unraced on good ground since bumper debut in 2023 but moves up in trip for this chasing debut and current mark is workable if all goes to plan; cheekpieces/tongue-tie removed. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Made the breakthrough in a first-time visor when scoring at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in December and he followed up at Taunton (about 3m2f, good) at the end of that month; last of three finishers when up in grade on soft ground at Doncaster in January but good chance he can bounce back in this company on the forecast sounder surface. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Has improved all of a sudden since fitted with this headgear, winning Class 5s at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) and Taunton (3m2f, good); up another 8lb for last time but he had them well strung out and he's receiving plenty of weight from his rivals. |

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. |
