6th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Progressive over fences last season when winning here and over 3m6f elsewhere; the glaring concern is his laboured reappearance a month ago over 3m2f at Chepstow, where he has form. |

19th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 4f 162y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Won three in a row on slow ground (2m7f-3m4f) when cheekpieces were added last February/March and continued his progress when close/clear second on last month's reappearance at Exeter (3m6f, soft); another 5lb higher today but might still be on the upgrade; respected. |

6th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Went 3-3 last season once the cheekpieces were fitted, culminating with a gritty display in the West Wales National at Ffos Las (3m4f, heavy); up another 5lb and has fitness to prove after his absence, but clearly a hard horse to rule out. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who has been consistent in staying chases at up to 3m1f but stamina appeared stretched over 3m6f at Exeter (soft) last time; will need to see this out better and the change of headgear is a grey area. |

3m chase winner on heavy in March and bang there in his next three races at up to 3m1f; low-mileage 8yo who gives the impression that he'll stay this far. |

Not the force of old and good days have become hard to call; won in a small field at Fontwell (3m2f) in October but never really threatened to follow up back there 19 days ago. |

Not as good as he was and become hard to predict, but he was on a going day here in early October when staying on best in a small field over 3m2f (good to soft); up just 3lb so solid chance if he can produce something similar; last four runs in blinkers. |

27th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capable stayer but has struggled with consistency; finished a 10l fourth at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, a race in which Vision De Maine was pulled up, but that was a laboured effort; handles most ground and has the ability to get involved but comes with risk. |

27th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Veteran who's been pulled up in six of his last seven races, in this contest last year on first occasion (50-1); the exception was over 3m4f at Ffos Las in May and his last four wins have now been over that C&D in spring 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024; probably best watched at this juncture. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |

His profile is all or nothing and when winning at Exeter last month (3m, soft) only two others completed; however, he's a relentless galloper and this is his sort of race. |

A capable stayer on his day but it was all or nothing last season for Charlie Longsdon and made a laboured debut for this yard over 3m6f here in December on the back of a wind operation; thorough stayer so that trip was no excuse; bit risky. |

Won the North Wales National at Bangor (3m6f, heavy) off this mark last February in first-time cheekpieces; ended last season with two non-completions and he's not shone on either start this term, but the cheekpieces (absent this term) return today; case can be made. |

11st 4lb |
Placed twice over hurdles here (2m2f/2m7f) in this month last year and remains very lightly raced under rules; well beaten in two chases towards end of 2024 but ought to find this race much easier than the 3m6f Class 3 marathon he contested here last time; on a good mark; not ruled out. |
