30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner and two hurdle victories include a 2m handicap on good ground; latest Kempton run (2m5f, good to soft) hinted at some stamina limitations over this far but that was a competitive race and today's forecast drier ground should be favourable; every chance. |

17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who showed improved form when making all by 8l on his reappearance in a handicap at Market Rasen (2m, good) three months ago; has also run well on soft ground; has received a 10lb hike for last time and he's up in grade today, but he may well take it in his stride. |

Regressive 9yo who has modest strike-rate in recent years and returned from break with three underwhelming runs this summer (2m4f-2m7f); needs to up his game. |

Regressive 9yo who has modest strike-rate in recent years and returned from break with two underwhelming runs in July (2m4f/2m7f); revival needed. |

Regressive 9yo who has modest strike-rate in recent years and made a low-key reappearance this month (2m4f); tries a new trip here; not the percentage call. |

25th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Blotted copybook at Carlisle last week, whipping round and unseating rider at the start, but launched chasing career with a clear second at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January and can cope with today's drop back in trip. |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Runner-up over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) in December and filled the same position on last month's chase debut at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy), where he was clear with the progressive winner; chance. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
No win since December 2023 (C&D maiden); runner-up from higher marks than this on two occasions in late 2024, but low key on the Flat this year (0-4); tongue-tie returns, with cheekpieces added, since this month's Stratford fifth; better to focus elsewhere. |
20/1 |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Comes into this on the pick of his hurdles and chase form in late 2024 but he missed all of last year and has been soundly beaten on the Flat since returning to action in June; hard to know what ability remains. |
10/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Lightly raced in recent seasons and hasn't shown his best form since returning from a long break this term; 5lb out of the handicap; others appeal more. |

Back down the weights when reviving to win at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; back up 3lb today but strung together some solid efforts once she hit form last year, so another bold show looks likely. |

11st 8lb |
Took this in 2025 but winless since and came in a well-held seventh of eight at Uttoxeter (2m4f) in May; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
All five wins over hurdles have been at 2m; hasn't won since his return to action in October and ran poorly when eighth of nine finishers at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; handicapper is at last relenting but his best chance of success in the short-term may be back at 2m. |
