10st 13lb |
Multiple winner but a 10yo now and the handicapper knows the score with him; no match for the winner last time at Fakenham (2m4f, good) where he kept jumping to the right; wouldn't want to repeat that here. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Built upon his hurdling promise to win on chase/seasonal debut at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in January and he followed up there (2m, good to soft) in February; climbing the weights but this unexposed 7yo had something to spare for both wins and may well have more left in the tank. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up in four handicap hurdles last season; heavy ground could have been a factor in him showing improved form on his successful chase debut over C&D last month, though was well backed prior to comfortably repelling Spadestep; 9lb worse off with the runner-up but clearly open to further improvement. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won a Class 3 handicap at Haydock last season off this mark so wouldn't be too dismissive about his chances despite failing to reach anything like the same level in two of his three races this campaign. |
20/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
On a handy mark on last winter's form and he was an encouraging fourth of nine over C&D recently on his second start back from a long absence; however, this is a higher grade than he's used to; could be vulnerable. |
33/1 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Others have less to prove regarding current form but he shaped at Haydock last month as though he may have needed that comeback run; on a competitive mark and he's well suited by testing ground; not discounted. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive and inconsistent veteran; seemingly perked up by change of headgear when close second in refitted visor at Perth (2m, good) last month and remains on a very good mark but it's not easy to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again here. |
8/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed; goes well on testing ground but latest win (off 10lb higher) was on good ground at Ayr in November (2m) when returning from a break; beaten 20l when eighth over C&D last month (good to soft; blinkers replaced regular visor); visor back on today; well handicapped, but a bit to prove. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Returned to form with hurdle win in first-time tongue-tie in April, his third run after a mammoth absence, and ran big race when close second in small-field chase at Bangor (2m1f, good) last month; ought to be favoured if the ground is slower than good here; might be the answer. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Has not been the same horse since a 1,395-day break but the first-time tongue-tie helped him to a 2m1f hurdles success here in April (good to soft) and the hurly-burly of the Swinton Hurdle wasn't for him last time; chasing debut. |
11/2 |

16th 10 |
10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Won three on the bounce before fourth in a Grade 2 during his novice days; very low key on his first two runs back after an absence but then won comfortably under an enterprising ride at Bangor (2m, good to soft) 16 days ago when tongue tied for the first time, beating Dance And Glance; back up 6lb but may have turned a corner and he looked classy in his younger days. |
