24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time chase winner (once over C&D); no longer the force of old but returned from break with two pretty good thirds this month, the latter at Bangor (3m, good); contender if in similar form again. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 |
16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
First form since summer 2024 when an 80-1 third at Fontwell this month (3m2f, good); trip and ground as much to suit again this time, but no certainty to back up that effort. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Went up 40lb for winning six handicap chases last season (also won twice over hurdles); below par in three runs this season; needs to bounce back after a 139-day break. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Scored off 3lb lower mark at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in April but well held subsequently at Fakenham (3m5f, good) and here over hurdles in May; looks too high in the weights. |

10th 4 |
1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won his only bumper; 0-13 jumping under rules (3-6 in points) but placed in good-ground handicap chases at Uttoxeter (3m2f) and Perth (3m) on last two outings; place chance again. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Turned over at short odds on final start for Jack Teal, and didn't offer much on his first two starts for this trainer; better when a staying on third in similar company at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good 14-1) latest; 2lb higher and others favoured. |

11st 11lb |
Minor honours on all three runs for new stable this July/September, over fences at 3m2f, 2m7f and 2m4f; cheekpieces were enlisted last time; should be seriously involved again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two good runs for new stable this summer, the latter when keeping-on second at Worcester (2m7f, good; also has form on soft) 23 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted; leading contender. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
His two wins over fences for Rose Dobbin were in 2022; down the weights and had some respectable runs last winter, before his £6,000 sale in May and another respectable show in fourth of 12 at Uttoxeter (favourite) on stable debut in July when it looked as if 3m2f stretched him; back down in trip and on the shortlist. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Has proved consistent in points this winter and looks likely to give his running in this hunter chase debut; however, faces a difficult task on rules form, as ratings reflect. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Won five handicap chases in the space of six starts during the winter; that came a cost mark-wise and he was twice well held before suffering same fate back over hurdles last time (2m7f novice; tried blinkers); bit to prove now. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Peak RPR of 98 came in an identical C&D event over two years ago (good); 0-8 since, however, with a breakthrough rules win seeming further away than ever on this season's efforts; 2lb out of the weights. |

0-10 over fences; runner-up on consecutive outings in autumn 2023 (2m3f/2m7f) but absent since two underwhelming runs last summer (2m1f/3m2f) and may need further than 2m nowadays. |

Three-time chase winner, most recently when holding on well at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May; bumped into a massive improver when well-held second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; first-time binkers) this month; ought to be on the premises again here. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

A fair winning hurdler back in 2017 for Oliver Greenall but this veteran has offered little over fences for his current yard this summer; others are much preferred. |

1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win under rules was in 2017 over hurdles; 5-17 in points but no win in that sphere since April 2022 and, although latest start was better, his two recent handicap chases suggest that others have more pressing claims. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Bangor (2m4f, soft) off 3lb higher in October 2023 but out of sorts in four starts since and pulled up in July when possibly finding his stamina stretched by 3m2f; hard to recommend on recent form. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |

Largely consistent in early part of last season, and deserved his hard-fought win at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; fell on reappearance outing in May but last month's Worcester run was not as bad as eventual 39l defeat might suggest, and that outing might have brought him on. |
