11st 11lb |
Did at least get round last time but was pretty much tailed off and didn't jump that well; others safer. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easily reeled in and was pulled up after blasting off in front at Market Rasen a fortnight ago (well backed), and has now failed to complete all four races this year; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D but needs to get career back on track. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |

Last win came in this race 12 months ago when 4lb lower; can struggle to find fluency over his fences and hasn't completed in his last three races; bit risky. |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Undefeated in four small-field 3m open points (good/good to firm), the successes around the sharp left-handers at Higham and Fakenham particularly relevant in today's context; can lead but needn't, and won't want for experience of regulation fences (24 chase starts); player. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Better over fences than hurdles so encouraging to see him win over the smaller obstacles last month before chasing home a hot Bowen-trained favourite over C&D two weeks ago; should go well despite the 3lb rise. |

Beaten 20l when second two starts back and then behind Wasdell Dundalk over C&D two months ago; an 11yo now and powers are on the wane. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |

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. |

16th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ran well in two of his four handicap hurdles last term; has contested five chases since June, getting the hang of it the last twice and winning at Wetherby (3m, good) latest; 9lb higher on this return to hurdles but one to consider. |
11/1 |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Well handicapped on last season's hurdling form; well beaten on first three chase starts and there's a slight doubt about his stamina today, but he took a big step in the right direction when going close at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last time and could play a leading role if seeing out the trip. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran; has won nine chases, often making all in small fields on good ground; hasn't been quite at his best since Uttoxeter win last July (2m4f, good) but has plenty going for him here. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last summer and remained competitive afterwards; however, he has since turned 12 and lacking a run might not be ideal. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |

11yo who returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and has run pretty well in third on his next two outings (3m/3m1f, good); might not be far away. |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |

Will be suited by today's good ground and was a very useful handicap chaser in his prime but was out of form for Fergal O'Brien when last seen last summer and it's hard to gauge how much ability he retains as a 12yo. |

Ran well in defeat in Ludlow hunter chase (2m4f, soft) in April but was well beaten when back in a handicap two months ago and is patently not the force of old; pulled up at 2023 Cheltenham Festival on only previous start in cheekpieces. |

Resurgent 11yo who won three 2m4f chases last season and was creditable second in valuable series final for veterans at Haydock (2m4f, good) last month; can't be ignored in current form. |
