2nd 4 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time chase winner who was out of sorts when last seen in the autumn, most recently when pulled up on return to hurdling; had another wind op (his fourth) during 168-day break; needs to get career back on track. |

Consistent 8yo who made it 2-2 here when a narrow winner earlier this month; only raised 3lb and this willing mare should have every chance; has won on good. |

Latest effort, upped to this grade, suggests she remains in form; proving consistent and she is 1-1 at Southwell (scored comfortably in November 2024); respected. |

10st 7lb |
About 17l behind Belgarum when third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) on recent chasing debut but significant positives can be drawn from that performance and he's 11lb better off with that rival here; contender if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |

Bumper winner; 0-7 over hurdles but returned from long absence with two pretty good efforts this season (2m/2m2f) and it will be interesting to see how he fares over this new trip on chasing debut. |

13-race maiden; last six races were in cheekpieces/blinkers over fences, taking two minor honours on good ground, but he is 8lb out of the handicap today; needs big improvement from the first-time visor. |

Placed off today's mark in modest race at Stratford (2m3f, good; first-time blinkers) in July but safely held twice since and now 0-11 overall; others look stronger. |

Won two small-field points in the spring and returned to racing under rules with three respectable runs under Osian Radford this summer/autumn; probably won't be far away but others appeal more all the same. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Battled on well to open chasing account at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June and ran at least as well when close third there (3m2f, soft) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but still respected. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (3m, good) in April, and toughed it out when deservedly off the mark over fences here (3m; beating Jean Genie by half a length) last month; 5lb higher - 1lb worse off with the runner-up - but should give another decent account. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Seemed to have got his act together over fences when creditable second of 15 at Warwick (3m, good) in April but was slightly disappointing when only fourth here (2m5f, good to soft) last month and today's forecast rain is not in his favour; others preferred. |

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 |
12st 2lb |
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. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts but, following a long layoff and a wind op, shaped with more promise than eventual 43l defeat might suggest at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; might have needed that outing and is no forlorn hope if she takes well to chasing; 3lb wrong. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |

Weak form claims and hasn't been seen for a year, since when she's had wind surgery; well out of the weights on her first run beyond 2m4f. |

Won over fences 13 months ago but returned from layoff with lacklustre hurdle run in April and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance; has usual tongue-tie refitted; seems versatile ground-wise. |

Won over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last March and returned from break with pleasing fourth over hurdles there (3m1f, good to soft) in November; absent for another 131 days since but won't be far away if in similar form again. |
