11st 11lb |
Was running quite well over fences until last time when pulled up; has a higher hurdle mark despite being a maiden in this discipline but if back on song he should be competitive in this bad a race. |

11st 9lb |
Probably fortunate to win off today's mark over C&D (good to soft; leader fell at final fence) in October, but that was still a good effort and his next two runs were respectable; contender if tuned up after 97-day break. |

11st 10lb |
13-race maiden but came close to breaking his duck when a close second at the fourth attempt over fences at Huntingdon (2m7.5f; good) this month; back up 2lb but has less to prove than most. |

11st 13lb |
Two solid efforts in staying chases in June and July (RPRs of 98 and 101), form that would give him leading claims; below that level in two runs over hurdles since but has had wind surgery since and returns to fences off 4lb lower since his latest run over fences; looks a major player. |

11st 10lb |
Launched chasing career with two very respectable runs in June and again ran okay when sixth of ten on last month's hurdling return at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); continues to edge down the weights and won't mind if the ground softens; could have a say. |

29th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up in a heavy-ground 2m6f point in March last year, but little worthwhile form over hurdles since and was beaten 20l on handicap debut in June; needs to find plenty for this switch to fences from 10lb out of the weights. |

12st 0lb |
Sole win over hurdles, off this mark in June 2023; has struggled to recapture form since returning from a break this summer and looked held when unseating three out on chase debut at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last time. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Beat 1-9 favourite when winning two-runner edition of this race a year ago (good ground) and was in front before last-fence unseat over C&D (good to soft) in October; returned from break with low-key run last month but remains lightly raced for her age, and her course form is a selling point. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won a match at Fakenham in April last year and would possibly have doubled her score back at that venue but for unseating at the last in October, returns from another break and hard to be confident she'd repeat the effort. |

29th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a match over C&D in April (in this headgear) but that effort stands out among otherwise modest form and she was pulled up when last seen later that month; returns from a six-month break with a bit to prove. |
