14th Nov 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ten chase wins since last seen over hurdles in 2020, the latest when digging deep at regular haunt Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in August; below-form fourth of five at Wincanton last time but still looks the main threat to Tuxedo Junction. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made all in small field at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in September but absent since running poorly in Sedgefield marathon three weeks later and needs to resume in peak form to have a chance off current mark; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 5f 48y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
First chase win was in October 2023 and the second wasn't until last month but he thoroughly dominated a four-runner race at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) on that latest outing, returning to his best; unraced beyond that and needs to find a bit extra given he's back up 7lb, so connections enlist 7lb-claiming amateur who's already won a hurdle race for them this week. |
9/2 |

1st 5 |
29th Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from layoff with low-key hurdle run in May but has finished close up in two Worcester chases (both 2m7f, good) since; remains on a good mark and is also suited by this track; major player if stamina holds out over this new trip. |

Multiple winner over hurdles and fences; went down narrowly after a break at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) and he's hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
He's returned from an absence this season and, after three defeats on soft ground, better could have been expected on good to soft at Wincanton recently; however, he's in top hands and well handicapped on his three 2024 wins on good/good to soft (including here), and may bounce back at some stage. |
4/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Nearly a stone worse on genuinely soft ground judged on peak RPRs, so there's a case to say this is his first realistic opportunity since returning from a 15-month absence over Christmas; last success came over this trip off 3lb higher, and it will be harder to excuse another sub-par effort today. |
8/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Switch to fences and handicaps did the trick when he won three of his five starts in 2024; he hasn't got back to that level in two outings this term and has a question to answer at present; of interest only with market support. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C&D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Veteran who has won three times over fences since December including at Plumpton (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; that was in a small field and his main rival made a bad mistake at the last but he still looks feasibly treated and is versatile ground-wise; respected. |
5/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |

Reliable sort who scored at Leicester (2m4f) in March; not discredited when fifth in 2m5f handicap chase at Newton Abbot 15 days ago so ought to be in the shake-up eased 1lb. |

1st Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser when trained by Dan Skelton; won a point last year and it was a useful hunter chase in which he was beaten only 11l at Taunton recently; may need more here but not dismissed. |
