3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
All four chase wins have come over shorter distances but this far is worth a go; ran quite well after a break at Fontwell and when beaten 27l into second here last time he was going well when clouting four out. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has four wins over fences, including over C&D; encouraging fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) on his return last month following a five-month break but he's 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |
7/1 |

6th 11 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from three-month break with respectable fourth here (2m3f, soft) in March last time and will be fine over this longer trip, but he's not really been firing on all cylinders since last summer; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 |
16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
8lb out of the weights when prevailing by 2l over C&D ten days ago for which he carries a penalty; therefore, 1lb lower now, but whether he'll back that up remains to be seen. |
3/1 |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair third over hurdles last September but struggled in that sphere subsequently and soundly beaten on recent chase debut here; 0-15 over hurdles/fences and 9lb out of the handicap this afternoon. |
14/1 |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-14 over hurdles, having been pulled up on his last two outings; might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but looks far too risky. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive 10yo who is better known as a chaser now and was just a modest third at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others have more appealing profiles. |
12/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has some fairly useful form on his CV but has become disappointing; returned from a break with respectable fourth in modest Worcester handicap (2m, good) in June but his 2m4f run there in July was below that level. |

Lightly raced in recent years and has been disappointing since winning an Irish maiden hurdle in 2022; hard to make a case for. |

Lightly raced and very disappointing since Irish maiden hurdle win in 2022; well beaten when back under rules at Warwick (3m, good) a fortnight ago; drops sharply back in trip here. |

Didn't run badly from the front at Warwick (2m, good) but that was three months ago and this 10yo hasn't won since 2022. |
