Won a C&D hunter chase last April on his rules debut but has totally failed to back up that form in three subsequent outings; potentially on a useful mark but easy to have reservations. |

31st May 2025 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won comfortably at regular haunt Chepstow (3m6f, good) in March and was probably unlucky not to follow up there (3m2f, good; in front when sprawling on landing at final fence) last month; went up another 5lb after the latter run, though, and may not be quite so effective on this sharper track. |

Record of 11142P1 here includes a Dunraven Bowl first and second and (latest) a cosy win over 3m6.5f (good; Stellar Stream unseated when beaten); almost three years since he last defied this 9lb higher mark. |

11st 12lb |
Long in the tooth now but was a useful handicapper for Tim Vaughan a few years ago (albeit with a tendency to clout the occasional fence) and has been prolific in points for David Brace in recent years; makes quick reappearance after creditable second in prestigious open point on Saturday; major player. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual point winner over 2m4f/3m on good/good to soft; creditable fifth in a Chepstow hunter chase on rules debut in April but not so good when a well-beaten fifth at Cartmel (2m5f, good; 5-2) last month; might find a couple too strong on hurdle debut but has place claims. |

Comprehensively outstayed some largely unprepossessing rivals at Newton Abbot 16 days ago (3m2f, good) for a first rules success since August 2021; trip and ground fine again, but this assignment demands more. |

Useful handicap chaser for Sam Thomas in 2021-22 season but returned from long absence with two non-completions in points towards end of last year; steadied the ship with respectable third at Kimble (conditions) last month but others look much stronger here; hooded for first time. |
