24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Had his troubles after such a promising start over fences for the Skeltons but he's back in the good books after small-field handicap wins at Bangor and Uttoxeter (both on good ground; effective on softer); returns to far classier company here and may be found wanting. |
9/1 |

1st 2 |
29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Has regressed since showing such smart form for the Skeltons but looked back on good terms with himself when comfortably accounting for Fringill Dike at Bangor (2m1f, good), having led from halfway; back up 9lb but might well have turned a corner. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Very well handicapped on old form but, following a long absence, did not really fire on any of five starts for new stable last season; not beaten far when last of five in Ascot race won by Coastguard Station in March and another 5lb lower here but still needs to up his game. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Front-running veteran who is well suited by good or faster ground and battled well to score over 2m1f here last month, his 12th chase win; not sure to be ideally suited by today's longer trip but no surprise if he makes another bold bid. |
5/1 |

1st 5 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Veteran with 11 chase wins on his CV, including 2023 edition of this race; returns here after respectable third behind two progressive rivals at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month but Centara is unlikely to allow him to play his preferred front-running role. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Multiple winner down the years and latest effort suggests he retains plenty of ability aged 12; has a respectable record (252, last three years) in this corresponding race but it remains to be seen whether his old legs can make it fourth time lucky. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
All four chase wins came around 2m when trained by Dan Skelton; ran well on yard debut in December but little to show for his eight subsequent runs; has dropped to a dangerous mark, however. |
20/1 |

4th 1 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Three places and 59l ahead of Betty's Tiara over C&D last week (good), though still well held himself and simply isn't coming very close at present to recording a first win beyond 2m1f; 5lb badly in compared to future mark. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
An 11yo now who isn't as good as he was and has predictably lost some of his old speed; hasn't been running badly in handicaps at about this trip but looks vulnerable. |
8/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
On a good mark but an 11yo now and has lost some of his old zip; ran okay at Uttoxeter last time but got outpaced when it mattered and was never threatening; what will help here is the likelihood of a good pace and some rain; respected. |
10/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
An 11yo now and, in first-time cheekpieces, finished well behind at Ayr in a race he had done well in previously; this wouldn't be so demanding and his penultimate effort was quite encouraging; by no means ruled out. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner but his first success beyond about 2m when making all for a 9l victory over C&D 23 days ago; back up 7lb but had dropped to a good mark. |
7/4 |

1st 3 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
All eight jump wins have been at around 2m; lost his chance by jumping right when stepped up to 2m4f at Aintree last time (finished a well-beaten sixth); will be better going right-handed; 21lb lower than for his last win (August 2024) and stable in form, but a bit to prove. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |

Continues to hurtle down the weights but latest 13l defeat at Perth was another unconvincing run. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Dictated pace when scoring at Southwell (2m) in June but came in a well-held third of four off 9lb higher mark in 2m handicap chase at Newton Abbot three weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Goes particularly well at Southwell where he won again by 15l a month ago (2m, good), making all; he was granted a soft lead there and has gone up 9lb. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list. |
