7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10lb higher than when taking this race 12 months ago but won again here on Boxing Day off this mark; not the most consistent of mares but she's dangerous to discount given her liking for the track. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 3f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual course winner on slow ground last season (2m5f/3m2f); not quite at best on two starts this term and was behind Record High when fourth here on Boxing Day but has possibilities if perked up by change of headgear. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
1-10 over fences, the win gained over 3m2f on heavy at Fontwell a year ago; competitive in three of his four races this season and has a solid chance; first run in a tongue-tie. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Off the mark over fences in four-runner C&D (heavy) contest in February; signed off with poor performance in April and may not find today's ground slow enough but probably still has more to offer over staying trips this season and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. |
8/1 |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced but he's going the right way over fences and was a convincing winner of a four-runner race at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy; up 4lb) in February; has missed engagements when the ground was good, including one last month, but enters calculations if this surface is thought suitable. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Old-timer who is not easy to predict these days but he got back in the groove with a front-running win here (3m3f, heavy) in January; 6lb higher back on quicker ground but he jumped well last time and remains well treated on his old form; shortlisted. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Southwell last April but a long way below that level on his three runs since and this 11yo's sole win came back in November 2023. |
20/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very inconsistent 10yo who sometimes races lazily and is never easy to predict; comes here fresh and on career-low mark but has presumably been overlooked by Sean Bowen today and cannot be supported with much confidence; versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

3lb out of the weights; kept on for second at Southwell three weeks ago (3m, good) but this 10yo is hard to predict. |
