29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December on second chase start and runner-up the next twice, including over C&D; also effective on good ground; below par at Leicester three weeks ago but he'll be a major player if swiftly returning to form in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won well at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December and a close second in his other three chases; raised 5lb for the latest narrow defeat by Immortal Fame but they did come clear; respected. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
2m6f winner at Stratford last October; another good run to be fourth at Ludlow in January (2m4f) but bit below that level since, last time sent to France. |

4th 6 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and has performed well off today's mark on both subsequent outings (2m4f, soft/good to soft); up in grade today but still enters calculations. |
6/1 |

4th 2 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and also ran well when second to very progressive rival at Warwick (2m4f, soft) the following month; had wind op during 57-day break; can give this a good shot. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
On a losing run but he's proving a consistent sort and came in a good second of eight in 3m1f handicap chase at Wincanton 19 days ago; he's firmly in the picture again off an unchanged mark. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Sole win since taking a 2m4f maiden hurdle on this card in 2023 came in a weak three-runner beginners' chase; respected on the form of November's Exeter 0-130 second (3m, good), however, with a tough task at the weights and (latest) desperate ground viable excuses either side of that. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly aided by blinkers when runner-up in two Class 4 handicap chases at Taunton (2m5f/2m7f) in February/March but can't be recommended in this company. |

Winless since 2022 and he beat only one in 2m Taunton handicap chase 23 days ago on his second run after a long absence; has a bit to prove now. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has had just the one win, gained in a French chase back in 2022, and there's little in recent hurdle form to suggest he's about to add to that; 6lb out of the handicap. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Gained only win (from 43 starts) in a French chase in 2022 and recent hurdling form does not suggest he's poised to add to his tally. |
50/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a run of non-completions when finishing fifth of seven over C&D last time (Presenting Yeats behind); although that was an improved effort, it did appear to stretch his stamina; much more required again from out of the weights. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
10yo with a record of 3-30; has patchy profile and was tailed off at Warwick last month but he finished a close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
13/2 |

9th 10 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Similar type to Thankyourluckystar, being a 10yo who finished second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but seems unlikely to go one better in this field, against opponents who are mostly less exposed. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Currently in a consistent vein of form, having posted form figures of 2212 in last four appearances; ran creditably when bidding for Fontwell double (2m5f) last time; solid chance. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Turbulent career and was deep in the doldrums for much of 2024 but he popped up at 25-1 at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) when nearly half the fences were omitted; back up 3lb but still well treated if the mood takes; yard 5-10 here in the last five seasons. |

24th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Pulled up on five of his six starts in 2024; showed some zest when ridden very positively in first-time blinkers (retained) at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) this month but was well held in the end and remains a risky option. |

Ex-Irish 8yo; ran big race from the front when close fourth over C&D (good) on stable debut in October but was beaten when falling on next outing and was pulled up when last in action; needs to have been refreshed by 139-day break. |
