27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Admirably consistent gelding who didn't have too much trouble in justifying a shade of odds-on at Kempton 12 days ago (3m, good); 5lb rise is perfectly fair for one who was having only his fourth run over fences; should progress some more. |

15th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Solid performer whose form figures in completed starts read 11211332; switched to fences for the last three of those, going down by only a neck at Taunton (2m7f, soft) last time; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

travelled strongly, prominent, left in second 12th, pressed leader 3 out, going easily approaching last, ridden and kept on run-in, no extra towards finish |

10st 10lb |
Thrown in judged on his form in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons; not so hot from last April onwards but placed off a career-low mark (3lb higher today) over 3m on good ground on last two outings; on his way back up the ladder but unraced beyond 3m1f. |

11st 11lb |
Tends to come good around this time of year and ran his best race for a while when only 4l off The Doyen Chief at Kempton; bled from the nose there but that's rare for him and he should run very well. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Came up short in all seven races over the last 15 months, including on sole attempt at a marathon trip (3m4f on heavy last February); no uplift with cheekpieces enlisted on latest start (they are retained today) and there has to be a chance that this race will simply be too hot for him, but best efforts have contained strong encouragement that a long distance should suit. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Not at his best last time at Ascot but that was a competitive Class 1 handicap and his previous placed efforts included a near miss behind the subsequent Welsh National winner; commands respect at this level and he tries cheekpieces for the first time. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Mostly consistent since sent over fences (4-11) but he has gone up 5lb for his 3m win at Ludlow (good to soft) when a lot went wrong for his five rivals; he was also partnered by a 3lb claimer then, so appears to have more on his plate now; still rates a likely contender given overall profile. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Had an off-day at Windsor a month ago but this 8yo has been mostly consistent over fences (3-10) and isn't handicapped out of contention if back on song. |

17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 6f 41y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Largely consistent record over fences includes two wins at about 2m4f last winter and another over 3m here in a good scrap on latest outing; back up 3lb to career-high mark but he should be seriously involved. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Won 3m/3m2f handicap chases in November on good ground but has dropped his guard the last twice and he's accustomed to lower-grade races than this. |

21st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Won twice (3m/3m2f) when blinkers were added in November and went down fighting in what developed into a gruelling contest at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; given a 57-day break to recover from that and may still have more improvement to come. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Competitively handicapped, as shown when chasing home a progressive one at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in January; however, he has turned in two laboured efforts since so it is difficult to know what to expect. |
10/1 |
6th 5 |
27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Very capable chaser on his day and pushed an improver close at Market Rasen on his penultimate start (3m, good to soft); reportedly never travelling when pulled up back there last time; has a big run in him if back on song. |
6/1 |
