3m chase winner on heavy in March and bang there in his next three races at up to 3m1f; low-mileage 8yo who gives the impression that he'll stay this far. |

16th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Set to complete hat-trick before last-fence unseat at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February and has made the frame on both outings since; left behind by front pair when third at Ffos Las (3m1f, good to soft) last month that was still a good effort, and the first-time blinkers might squeeze out more from him here. |

3rd 4 |
22nd Apr 2024 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Ended last season with two wins and was unlucky not to complete a hat-trick on his comeback at Plumpton (3m1f, soft), where he held clear lead before unseating rider at final fence; only 2lb higher here and he had a tough assignment behind a major improver at Wincanton last time; respected. |

10st 8lb |
Not the force of old and his losing spell goes back to February 2022; pulled up in this race last year but runner-up on next two starts (3m2f/3m1f) and his front-running sixth in the 3m4f London National at Sandown eight weeks ago wasn't a bad reappearance; stamina not proven. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |

Has very modest 1-31 career strike-rate but was clear second to a big improver on last month's seasonal/stable at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) and is also suited by this C&D; leading contender. |

Thorough stayer who signed off with a disappointing run in April but was largely in good form last season; ran well when fresh in autumn 2023 and begins this season on a good mark; one to consider. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Useful chaser at best but he's been inconsistent since his last win and was tailed off at Kempton (3m, soft) in his last run in February; mark is falling but he's in the veteran stage now and others are more convincing. |

Fairly useful but has shown inconsistent form since last win and sometimes jumps left, including when modest fourth at Ascot 11 weeks ago; opposed kept to right-handed course. |

Usually partnered by Isabel Williams and ran creditably on sole start under Eleanor Williams; won last February (hurdle race) and October (chase) and ran creditably on latest outing; also effective over C&D in the mud but she's 2lb out of the weights proper and looks vulnerable for win purposes. |

Progressive over fences last season when winning here and over 3m6f elsewhere; the glaring concern is his laboured reappearance a month ago over 3m2f at Chepstow, where he has form. |
