8th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Overcame some late interference to win in second-time cheekpieces over 3m here and a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging; does need good ground so watch the weather. |

17th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won his maiden hurdle on good ground and had the same conditions when making a successful chase debut at Taunton (2m7f) and when second of three at Wetherby in March; his pull-ups on either side of that were in the mud; back on this surface he should have a part to play. |

25th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual chase winner this season, latterly over C&D (good to soft) in December; just a respectable third at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month and remains on a fairly tough mark but the return to this track is a plus. |

3rd 2 |
8th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has plenty of chasing experience and was a dual winner over fences towards end of 2024, once over C&D on good ground; back up to his career-high mark now but still features prominently in calculations. |

1st 7 |
30th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Opened chasing account at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month and bettered that performance when close second over C&D (good) 18 days ago; more exposed than some of these but likely to be right in the thick of things. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual chase winner (2m7f/3m) in autumn of 2024; lightly raced since but he was disputing third when he fell at the last at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December; returns after another break but conditions should be fine and he's now 1lb lower than for his last win; respected. |

Couple of poor efforts in the spring but commenced last term (and chase career) with two wins, including on good ground at Ascot; this reappearance may be the time to catch him. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 0-9 when below best at Taunton in December on his second chase start; however, he's shown some promise (including on chase debut) and has edged down the weights, and perhaps wind surgery will have helped. |

30th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |

0-5 over hurdles but looked suited by the move up in trip when keeping-on fourth (about 7l behind Langley Hundred) over C&D (good) on recent chasing debut; could easily have a bigger run in him; high on the list. |

Back from a break and her yard has won two of the last four renewals; has been chasing this season, making all to beat two rivals off 1lb lower at Exeter in November (3m, good); has won twice as a hurdler and should hold every chance. |

Only 1-24, the win coming over this far as a hurdler nearly two years ago; however, twice runner-up over fences this season (2m7f) and capable of going well. |

3rd 1 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-6 and generally disappointing during first season over fences, signing off with a poor performance in April; returns from six-month break on a good mark, though, and last month's wind op could quite plausibly aid a return to form; cheekpieces (worn for last three runs) discarded. |

Lightly raced 6yo who showed promise in Irish point in 2023 and won over hurdles last season; interesting on handicap/chase debut, with Carlisle reappearance under his belt. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Only 1-13 over fences but is threatening to double his tally, having stayed on for second in the last two of three starts for new yard, latest at Taunton (2m7f, good); possibilities off same mark. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both wins when trained by Alan King; showed little on return from 404-day layoff at Leicester in January for new yard but much better when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last month; runs off the same mark and holds place claims at least. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a four-runner chase at Market Rasen (3m, good; all out) for Alan King in 2024 but didn't match that in three subsequent starts, including over this C&D; suffered a big defeat on his stable debut in January, when coming back from a 404-day absence, but was a little weak in the market that day so maybe better can be expected this time; career-low mark. |

11st 12lb |
Kept on for respectable third at Worcester (2m7f, good; no threat to easy winner) 12 days ago and will be suited by today's longer trip but often looks unenthusiastic, and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task today; cheekpieces refitted. |

This time last year he posted back-to-back seconds over 3m2f on good ground at Fontwell and Warwick; well handicapped on that form but he hasn't been running well of late. |
