19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue. |

None too consistent but he has won five times over fences and nearly made that six last time at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft); he's handicapped about right but needs considering. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Five-time chase winner, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; remote when third at Huntingdon eight days ago and not one to rely upon nowadays but he's still on a good mark if in the right mood. |

C&D winner in a first-time visor in March (good; 5lb lower) but beaten between 10l and 14l in three subsequent races, the last two over fences (cheekpieces/visor); should give his running, though improvement has come on good ground. |

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. |

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. |

1-12 as a chaser; good and bad in his last six races over hurdles, finishing tailed off in the last two; risky. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (once each) from 35 races; his last win was in 2024 but bits of form this year, including penultimate start, give him an each-way chance. |
10/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); has struggled with consistency, but a leading player if reproducing his latest third of eight at Exeter last month. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
In good form over fences in the autumn, bar a blip at Perth in October; 0-11 over hurdles but twice finished second in this sphere and often runs well after a break; entitled to respect. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when dominating from the front here (2m4f, good) last month, his second start for Laura Morgan, and ran big race in defeat under penalty at Southwell (2m4f, good) a few days later; effectively another 5lb higher today but sure to be suited by the move back up in trip; good chance. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
All-the-way Kempton 3m winner in early 2024 and, with stamina to spare at intermediate trips and the benefit of wind surgery, was played equally aggressively in victory at Perth last week (good); 2lb badly in under the penalty but still superbly handicapped on that previous winning form. |

24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has run well at this track and is very well handicapped on old form but pulled up on all three starts since returning in December from a mammoth absence and needs to prove some ability remains; blinkers refitted. |

9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in his two starts (heavy/soft; visored both times) since an absence of just over two years; old form suggests this better ground will suit but it still requires a leap of faith to support him in the added tongue-tie. |

Second of 15 on chase debut at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) in December and ran below market expectations next time (2m7f); question marks over today's distance but that penultimate effort commands respect. |
