13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Two-time chase winner who was a 9l second in this race 12 months ago (good); gets a pull in the weights with the winner Brandy McQueen from their clash at Catterick (3m1f, good) last month but he was soundly beaten in second and has work to do today. |

Won over hurdles and twice over fences for Tom Ellis in 2024 (3m, good/good to soft); won a four-runner point for this yard in January but well beaten last time; has no easy task |

Twice a 3m chase winner at Fakenham before bagging the hat-trick in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle in November; pulled up on final two handicap chase runs for Tom Ellis but still considered for in-form new yard here. |

19th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Lacked fluency when fourth in two 3m Fakenham chases this autumn and now reverts to hurdling; will be suited by today's drop back in trip, though, and and won't mind the forecast rain; can exploit a favourable mark. |

10st 2lb |
Won over fences here (2m, good) in June 2023 but was well beaten here on both starts this autumn (2m4f hurdle/3m chase); still has stamina to prove over this sort of trip and is 3lb wrong today; others preferred. |

10st 13lb |
High-mileage veteran who looked out of sorts on his final two appearances in 2024; too well handicapped to rule out but younger rivals appeal more; blinkers refitted. |
20/1 |

5th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
On a losing run and in difficulties in three of his last four starts, including behind School For Scandal over C&D in October and at Fakenham 16 days ago; has been wearing headgear but just a tongue-tie today; work cut out. |
