12st 0lb |
Launched his chasing career with two 3m wins in the mud at Exeter last March and scored again over that C&D on latest outing (same race as last year) but this time on good ground under claimer Chad Bament; the latter was by just a short head (after third-placed Shot Boii was reeled in close home) but he should remain competitive going back up 3lb. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Generally in much better form last March-October than in his three starts this winter; no impact in his four races beyond 3m2f and the bottom line seems to be that he last won a race in April 2023. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chance if bringing his 'A' game but he hasn't on last two outings when tailed off at Fakenham (3m5f) and Fontwell (3m2f; both on soft); risky. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Running well since the spring, most recently second of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) in first-time visor last month; will probably find others too strong in this deeper race, though; usual cheekpieces refitted. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Seemingly back in good nick when second over fences in December but two lacklustre efforts have followed and it's hard to predict whether this first hurdle run since 2023 will rekindle his enthusiasm. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December but never going after an early mistake when pulled up at Ludlow since, taking his overall chase record to 1-18; first-time blinkers replace regular visor. |
11/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three 3m wins (one here) this year; ran as though something was amiss two starts ago but bounced back with career-best performance at Uttoxeter (good) last month; could be hard to beat if this new trip suits. |

Goes on any ground; won narrowly in a lower grade over C&D in June (3lb lower) before running no race at Market Rasen; clearly a contender if back on song. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Badly out of form over hurdles this season and there didn't seem to be any positives from his switch to chasing for last three outings; wore tongue-tie (dispensed with now) and cheekpieces for latest; way down the weights. |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on old form but has not really fired on any of three starts since returning from a long absence this season; getting away from heavy ground might aid his cause but he still has a fair bit to prove. |

11st 12lb |
Won two 3m chases (one on soft here) in 2022-23 season but absent 614 days before two low-key runs this term, way behind the front two when he took third on heavy ground at this track last time. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made a bright start to last year with a good second over C&D on New Year's Day, but his form has taken a marked downturn since and recent efforts have been poor; new headgear needs to spark a revival. |
50/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won on soft ground at Fontwell in a hurdle race in 2021 and a 3m2f chase in 2023; however, there was an echo of that in only one (runner-up in January last year) of his eight starts for current yard. |
25/1 |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Belied triple-digit odds when second over hurdles here (2m5f, soft) on seasonal debut in January but two disappointing runs have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this return to fences; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |
