19th Apr 2025 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
C&D winner who bids for a hat-trick after wins on good ground at Exeter (2m3f) and Taunton (2m7f) last month (has won twice on soft); latest success came at the expense of two other finishers in a messy contest, though, and another 3lb rise may leave him vulnerable. |

Looked out of sorts during autumn/winter but suddenly back to form at Exeter (2m3f, good) a week ago, making all to win comfortably by 8l; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over this sort of trip but still needs to be taken very seriously under 7lb penalty. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

This was the trip for his Taunton win in April (good) and he might have even surpassed that form with his recent seconds over C&D; has the same mark as last time and should have a big say. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |

Good second over C&D 16 days ago ridden by Freddie Gingell, keeping on well; could prove vulnerable for the win back up 3lb but with his chase experience he's likely to be thereabouts. |

18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Had rather mixed record over fences last year but scored off mark 2lb higher than today's at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last June and was in contention before penultimate-fence fall at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) six weeks ago; will be fine over today's trip; could have a say. |

Four wins for another yard in the middle of 2023 including one over C&D, but only success in 16 starts for this yard came over hurdles at Stratford (2m3f, heavy) in October; now 1lb lower, though, so a case can be made. |

Three-time chase winner, most recently when dropped back to 2m at Southwell (good; made all) last month; up 6lb but he was as good as ever last time and today's return to 2m3f won't be a problem; respected. |

Three-time chase winner on good ground, twice over 2m2f here; on a tempting mark now but has lost his way a bit this season and conditions are likely to remain softer than he prefers today. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Had been struggling but bounced back for a fourth chase success at Lingfield two weeks ago (2m, soft; made most); wouldn't be certain to repeat that form but clear claims if he can off 5lb higher. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Triple chase winner but his last success was in May 2023 and he's generally struggled in the last 12 months; has dropped a long way in the weights and a hood now returns but he's hard to recommend. |

10st 2lb |
Yet to add to his France chasing win of 2022; mostly disappointing this term and switches to hurdles for first time since November 2023; today's visor is a new form of headgear; 6lb out of the handicap. |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Yet to add to his France chasing success in 2022 and, barring one fairly good effort at Fontwell in November, this season's form has been disappointing; 3lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |
