10st 2lb |
Emerged in second for London National over C&D (soft) in December and won from the front in the Somerset National at Wincanton (3m3f, good to soft) in January; flop in the Eider at Newcastle in February, while good ground may be a problem today; position 7lb out of the handicap certainly is. |

11st 0lb |
Getting long in the tooth now and was not at his best on any of three outings in the spring, most recently when remote second behind Whistleinthedark over C&D; on a very good mark now, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces today. |

Good-ground performer; last win was over C&D in June 2023 (good); some fair efforts since; back on a decent mark; needs to improve on recent efforts. |

Lost his way for Gordon Elliott and sold on for 22,000euros; the form of his first three races for this yard stacks up well (from 2m4f to 3m) and reportedly bled when below par last time; definite chance should the wheels stay on. |

10yo who is 2-16 over fences with latest win in March 2023, but he took some minor honours over a wide variety of trips last January-May; has a recent run under his belt and, having run creditably in the first of two runs with cheekpieces, he now tries a visor. |

2nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Useful handicapper chaser when trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, with a good record at this track; this season's pointing form for new stable has been underwhelming, though, and he was safely held when fourth in a Leicester hunter chase (2m, good to soft) last month. |

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. |

Very lightly raced 10yo who made an encouraging return from a long absence when fourth (Judicial Law just over 1l back in fifth) at Newbury (3m, heavy) seven weeks ago; claims if he can build on that. |
