11st 5lb |
Multiple chase winner who made it three for the year at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; hasn't run to the same level since, a recent second at Huntingdon being a remote one, and others further up the list. |

Veteran who had a clearcut win at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December from Extraordinary Man, his 11th chase win; not so good at Hereford or Warwick (on Tuesday) since, however. |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has modest strike-rate and is very inconsistent but has slipped to a good mark and ran well over C&D on his only previous visit Fakenham; cheekpieces (missing when tailed off at Fontwell last month) are refitted here; can be dangerous if in the right mood. |

Yet to win in 11 attempts, four of them over fences; well beaten on last three starts, but may fare better after a break providing the ground isn't too soft. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Southwell (2m, good) in October but looked set to be second when left in the lead at Bangor; however, only 2lb higher now and he reportedly finished lame in November on his final run. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Watch the weather as all his best form is on good ground, including latest comfortable win at Southwell (2m); could deal with the 6lb rise under suitable conditions. |

11st 5lb |
7-30 over fences; no win last year but ran creditably twice in the autumn before seemingly reluctant to put his best foot forward in the Abaya Du Mathan race at Southwell on latest start; chance if putting that swiftly behind him. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran very poorly on chasing debut in December and now reverts to hurdling after a 191-day break; on a good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but is not the force of old and others have much less to prove. |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won three handicap hurdles on the trot on good/good to soft in February 2023; mainly disappointing since; hard to know what to expect now going over fences for the first time (fell in two of her three starts pointing in Ireland). |
