17th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Ended last season with a Class 3 success at Perth (2m, soft; sole attempt in cheekpieces); had wind surgery (his third) since; returns on a career-high mark but is largely consistent and likely to give his running; has won when fresh. |

17th Oct 2024 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
10yo who returned from mammoth absence to win at Musselburgh (2m, soft) last November and was runner-up on his final two starts last season (good to soft/soft); effective here and he's respected on his reappearance. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 |
24th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins on good ground in 2020, including over C&D; returned from a 905-day break to win at Musselburgh in November (2m, soft) and fair run over same C&D last time; this looks harder. |

17th Oct 2024 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Third at Perth in July and won at Cartmel six days later; however, this 11yo has struggled on his three runs since; has to get back on track. |

9th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Experienced chaser; won for the sixth time over fences when scoring at Cartmel in June (2m1f, good), but rather disappointing since. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Held on well at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in July, his tenth chasing success, but was soundly beaten over hurdles last month and it's hard to predict the extent to which this veteran will warm to the task today. |
