24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A five-time chase winner, he has adapted well since returning to hurdles in cheekpieces, making all at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June and Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month (fell when holding a clear advantage in between); has a big penalty but will be difficult to keep tabs on. |

11st 8lb |
Five-time chase winner who faced a simple task when opening his account in this discipline over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) this month; has more on his plate under a penalty in this deeper race but he's respected nonetheless. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive mare with three wins this season; respectable sixth in stronger company at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last time, 4.5l behind Game Colours; better off at the weights with that rival and a bold bid for a fourth win of the campaign can be expected if she handles these more testing conditions. |

2-8 over hurdles; signed off in good form in the spring, making all at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good), but is 5lb higher now and may not enjoy such a favourable tactical scenario this time. |

0-7 on the Flat (1m4f-2m) for two different yards, once going close in a low-grade handicap at Redcar; makes stable/hurdle debut after a long absence and likely to be outclassed. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Went close in Newton Abbot novice hurdle (2m5f, good) for Paul Nicholls last summer but quickly became very disappointing for him; drying ground might aid his cause on today's stable/chase debut but he has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Well beaten on his last three starts, the last two being his first handicaps (2m5f, soft); something to prove but he was second in a good-ground 2m5f novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last June, and the return to better ground may help; stamina in pedigree and with leading yard; no forlorn hope. |

Fair third in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last July and he's dropping down the weights; however, he's struggled since that Uttoxeter run and was fading when falling three out at Chepstow last time; now 0-16 across both codes. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |

Close up in a bumper here on debut but that's weak form and she's shown nothing in three hurdle starts since, tailed off when fitted with a tongue-tie over C&D last month; opposable on handicap debut. |
