7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has found improvement from somewhere to win back-to-back 3m2f handicaps with seemingly lots to spare, on soft and good to soft; raised in grade here and hit with 10lb for last time, but this 7yo looks firmly on the upgrade. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Battled well for narrow win off today's mark at Hereford (3m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) in the autumn but was given break after disappointing effort in December and again ran poorly when reappearing (without cheekpieces) last month; the cheekpieces are missing again here; stablemate Prince Cleni has much stronger claims. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Landed his second success over fences, at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October off 1lb lower mark; second at Plumpton the following month but was tailed off at Wincanton when last seen; has been freshened up since and holds claims if putting his best foot forward. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |

Struck form in new visor in August, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) by clear margins, but suffered big dip in form on next two outings and was unable to land a telling blow when fourth in refitted cheekpieces at Newton Abbot on Saturday (albeit not beaten far in the end); no headgear today. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Stayed on from the rear to go close off today's mark over C&D (good) in May but has poor strike-rate in recent years and is unreliable nowadays; chance probably depends upon what mood he's in. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |

Veteran who was beaten just a neck when last seen at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May, but he isn't very consistent and has a moderate strike-rate; others preferred. |

Winning pointer; 18 defeats under rules equally divided between hurdles and fences; however, accepted the new cheekpieces when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last time and that run offers hope. |

Winning pointer who is 0-17 under rules and 0-8 as a chaser; he does have placed form in this discipline but his last three efforts have been well below his best, the latest after wind surgery; bit risky with cheekpieces turned to. |

Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |

10st 2lb |
0-16 under rules (including eight chase runs) but came second over hurdles here (2m5f, good) in April and also ran very well in eventful C&D chase won by Ryder's Rock in May; 5lb wrong today but not out of this if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

Absent since two below-par runs in November but returned from a break to win five-runner contest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in September, and is now back on the same mark; seems best on good ground but once won a point on soft; can't be ruled out. |

Achieved more on RPRs for his Newton Abbot 3m2f class 5 win last time (good) than Arctic Angel did for hers, despite bleeding from the nose; up just 2lb and he's hugely unexposed as a handicap hurdler. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |

Progressive 7yo who has form figures of 1221141 over fences since September; only two completed when he scored at Market Rasen (3m, good) 19 days ago but he still looks on a workable mark and his first chase win was over C&D; strongly respected. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

In excellent form on good ground in the autumn, winning three times over fences (3m1f-3m2f); well behind Dangerous Touch when reappearing in four-runner race at Huntingdon last month but might have needed that outing and his usual cheekpieces are refitted here. |
