C&D winner last summer off 4lb higher and ran to a fair level when runner-up in a hunter chase in May; likely to run well. |

12st 8lb |
Won this last season on soft ground; this year's two non-completions came over a trip too short and over the National fences at Aintree; got back on track with a respectable fourth at Ludlow; should go well. |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Very respectable third in Kempton hunter chase (2m4f, good) in April, after a break, and seemingly in process of running well before falling here (2m5f, soft) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but returns to a handicap on a realistic mark. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Exposed, but also placed in hunter chases on last three visits to Stratford (all sub-3m) and notably a winner during May in each of the previous three years; respected, for all that there's not huge substance to some of this spring's successes (two conditions events and a walkover). |

Gave very good account when second to Famous Clermont in this race in 2024 and also ran well when third over C&D (again on good) last month; returns here after a recent point success; can make his presence felt. |

Three-time hunter chase winner; gave good account when fourth over hurdles at Stratford (2m6f, good) in March and has become well handicapped in this sphere but was soundly beaten here (2m7f, good) last month. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won 2m1f Stratford hunter chase last spring and ran well when fourth over hurdles there (2m6f, good) in March but was safely held in a handicap chase when back at Stratford this month and others in this field appeal more. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Lightly campaigned last season but won a hunter chase (2m1f, good) here last May; well held back in handicap company for new trainer in December but then showed more returned to hurdles back here in March; returns from another break and switches back to fences; not easily dismissed at a track he runs well at. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Struck for the first time since 2021 with two wide-margin point wins towards the end of 2024 but it's been a struggle since and first-time cheekpieces need to have a fairly dramatic effect. |
