31st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made all on chase/handicap debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) in November and again ran well when second at Doncaster (2m3f, good) later that month; should be fine on the slower ground here and has obvious claims. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Last month's near-5l third at Kempton was his most convincing effort to date both over 3m and on good ground, but also took his record in handicaps off marks in the 120s to 0-8; still needs to find a bit more. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Has won on good to soft and heavy; made light of an absence when winning at Southwell in December but he found little at Ludlow (also 2m4f) last month and has yet to distinguish himself over this far; reservations remain; yard won this in 2019. |
9/2 |
|
4th 3 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
His second win over fences when returning from a long absence to take a 2m4f handicap at Southwell (good to soft; won on heavy) in mid-December; that race fell apart in behind but a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark when ending a losing run in 3m2f handicap chase at Fontwell last month; up 5lb but form has been franked so he's a player for yard among the winners. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this season but was second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (about 3m1f, good) in July and should find this easier than the 0-120 race he contested at Worcester last month; continues to slip down the weights; probably won't be far away. |
5/2 |
|
4th 6 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He's on a reduced mark and has been in pretty good heart since these blinkers went on; however, he needs something extra if he's to post a first win since March 2025, and a longer trip is probably preference. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Won two 2m4f handicaps for Ben Pauling last year, the second a two-runner event at Warwick; bit to prove after being pulled up on hunter chase debut at Ludlow in March (2m4f, good), including stamina. |
13/2 |
|

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
It was a match he won at Warwick in October (2m4f handicap, good) but that took his strike-rate to 9-30 over fences; remains in the same colours despite leaving Ben Pauling; should give his running on hunter chase debut. |
100/30 |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Strike-rate of 8-29 over fences and also runner-up in five of those; not as good as he was but still very capable off this mark; Bangor last time was a backward step, mind. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Last win was over 2m3f here in May of last year off 6lb higher; not quite hit the same heights this year and has been finishing his races rather tamely. |
5/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn and has developed a tendency to finish rather weakly but comes here after two respectable 2m4f thirds this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and continues to edge down the weights. |
3/1 |
|

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6-16 over fences, the latest win gained in this race a year ago (soft ground; also suited by good); returned from seven-month with encouraging run a fortnight ago and should now be teed up to defend his crown. |
16/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has a good strike-rate over fences (6-15), latest win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) nearly a year ago; not at his best late last year on last two starts; now only 1lb above that win and Finn Lambert's claim will help, but needs to bounce back after his break. |
16/1 |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Already has six chase wins under his belt but he hasn't been quite on song since the latest of them, at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in July; will do well to add to his haul in this race. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Two wins over 2m6f on good to firm at Stratford in the summer (both with a visor); beaten when coming down three out on same track last time (2m3f); return to this longer trip should suit. |
11/2 |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 2-3 since fitted with a visor this season, with both wins gained over 2m6f here (good to firm); may not have things all his own way today and this drop back in trip is probably not ideal but further progress is not out of the question. |

2nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
The first of his two chase wins (from 19 attempts) was over C&D in 2022 and he was runner-up back here on reappearance this term; ran respectably at Southwell last time and should figure prominently in this field. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Bit of a mixed bag since winning off 11lb higher here (2m, good to soft) in March last year, his second of eight at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on his return last month (has a good record fresh) surrounded by lesser efforts; others are more convincing. |
