20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off a lowly mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in summer 2024, but his form this spring was not particularly inspiring and he's 8lb out of the weights on this first appearance in five months. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer and ended last season with two fairly respectable runs, latterly when sixth in C&D race won by Millies Mite one month ago, but is out of the weights again today. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Only 1-38 but was second at Southwell last time and should encounter a similar scenario here; likely to run well. |

2nd 8 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from break with low-key chase run last month and fell mid-race when back over hurdles nine days ago but remains on a good mark and will be suited by today's trip/ground; can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-24, the win coming over this far as a hurdler nearly two years ago; however, twice runner-up over fences this season (2m7f) and capable of going well. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-6 and generally disappointing during first season over fences, signing off with a poor performance in April; returns from six-month break on a good mark, though, and last month's wind op could quite plausibly aid a return to form; cheekpieces (worn for last three runs) discarded. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kept on for third at Worcester (2m, good) in August and should be fine over today's longer trip, but was well beaten (albeit in a higher-grade race) at Chepstow last week and has become unreliable. |
7/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Record of 1-9 over fences so more exposed than some in here but responded positively to cheekpieces in his last two; this does look tougher, though. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Versatile 8yo who is not very consistent but ran fairly well in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning over fences at Southwell (2m, good) in the autumn. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Four chase wins include two here, one in this race last year; creditable return from a break at Fontwell in April but he's struggled in two Warwick runs since, the step up to 3m seemingly not the main issue last time; just below his latest winning mark though so hard to dismiss. |
10/1 |

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. |
