11st 12lb |
All three chase wins in 2023, at 2m3f-2m5f (good and good to soft) so is on a losing run but she's been in good form on soft over the winter and the return to good ground will be appreciated; in the mix. |

11st 11lb |
Rather in and out this season but he beat two other finishers in 2m4f contest on heavy ground here in February, and that success was no bolt from the blue; more is required off a career-high mark but the step back up in trip should suit and Freddie Mitchell's claim is a plus. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Only defeat in his last four races came in a good-quality 3m4f handicap at Windsor; jumped well and stayed on best at Chepstow last time (2m7f, soft) where the front two pulled well clear; raised 7lb but Ned Fox takes away 3lb out of that; respected. |

Back-to-back wins at Wetherby (3m, soft) and Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) before finding a Class 3 beyond him at Windsor (3m4f), though didn't run at all badly; considered back at this level. |

10st 13lb |
Not much went to plan on his three starts for for Warren Greatrex in the spring but he looked in excellent nick when winning easily by 8l at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; likely contender off 10lb higher mark here. |

10st 12lb |
Narrow C&D winner on soft last April on sole course start but not yet recaptured form since wind surgery, replacing cheekpieces with blinkers of no help on good ground last month; down the list for now. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Bangor last spring off this mark (3m, soft); hasn't been at his best in two runs following wind surgery but there's always a chance that the new blinkers could help matters. |

Form dipped sharply on New Year's Eve; ran well at this course (3m2f) earlier in December and that effort puts him in the picture. |

Ended last season in poor form but made quite encouraging reappearance when fourth (about 9l behind Ballynaheer) at Hereford (3m1f, good) three weeks ago; on very good mark now and has cheekpieces refitted today; dangerous to ignore. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated these days and although he's run only four times since back from an absence, and his latest win, he ran better when runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; first-time visor, retained) last month; likely to fare better now back on good ground in this lower grade. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime and won over fences in 2023 but has been out of form since returning from a layoff in the autumn; wore cheekpieces then blinkers for last two races; visor tried today; revival needed. |
