16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
0-6 during his last campaign but he dropped down the weights and returned with encouraging second to a handicap blot at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft); could build on that latest run and he's one to consider. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
9yo who has won just one of his 17 chases but he's finished second in nine of them, including at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) in March; also effective on good ground and he won here over hurdles; not ruled out on return. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Not disgraced in the 3m1f event at Cartmel won by Olivers Travels but shaped as if he may need a drop back in trip; gained his two wins this term over 2m5f (at that venue). |
14/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Never got going in Market Rasen's Summer Plate but returning here is a major positive, having previously gone back-to-back in 2m5f chases (made all on good to soft; good is fine); not handicapped out of contention by any means and probably stays this far. |
8/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Goes particularly well at Cartmel where he won three weeks ago (2m5f, good to soft) despite looking on a toughish mark; similar concerns here raised another 5lb and wouldn't want the ground to turn proper soft. |

4th Dec 2024 Heavy 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Two wins last season, at Ayr in January (3m, soft) and on final start at Kelso in April (2m7f, soft); off since and although these conditions suit, is likely to need the run after a break. |

15th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |

Veteran who remains very capable on his day, with a first and close second this season; below best last time but could bounce back from that. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Last season was one to remember, winning the Welsh National and later second in the Grand National Trial at Haydock; 0-4 this campaign but it's been anything but a washout and he should be dangerous off this mark, for all that he's made his name over further. |
4/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Won last season's Welsh National (extended 3m6f, soft) off 3lb lower and second in the Grand National Trial at Haydock; near that form on second start this term, before a lesser show (weak in the market) in the Surrey National at Lingfield; needs to be back at his peak and there are mixed messages. |
8/1 |

4th 4 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Bettered underwhelming seasonal debut when placed over the big Aintree fences (3m2f, soft) last month and remains only 4lb higher than when winning last season's Welsh National (3m6f, soft); high on the list. |

Nearly won the Eider two seasons ago (beaten by Anglers Crag) and was a 22l fourth in the same race on final outing; he is effective at this trip and could run well with a tongue-tie added. |
9/1 |
