22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in December and continued to run well when upped in trip the next twice (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft); also effective on good ground; this unexposed 6yo holds each-way claims once more. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |

1st 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge. |
5/4 |

1st 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Now 5lb lower than when second here (1m2f, soft) last October but did not emerge from the rear division when a big-priced outsider for all three subsequent AW runs; considered only if much strong in betting today. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Hurdle (including C&D) and chase winner here and won a chase over the equivalent trip here latest, when on the same mark; well treated if able to translate that form back to this sphere; big player. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Gave good account when third of 12 in C&D (good to soft) selling handicap in May but has modest 1-22 strike-rate over hurdles and ran poorly when last in action; others appeal more. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Bumper/hurdle winner; still relatively early days with this yard and not beaten too far in either run following a break; on a competitive mark. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with Mark Walford all that long and returned from break with respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) this month; ought to cope if the ground eases here; shortlisted. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) last November on second chase start and some good runs since, most recently 12l third of 12 in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); this is less competitive; high on the list. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won the 2m1f handicap chase on this card last year and went in again at Newcastle in November (good to soft); subsequent defeats hint at a vulnerability off this higher mark and he was behind Tanking Along last time. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Built upon promising seasonal/chase debut when scoring at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in November and again ran well when close fourth of six at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January; drops back in trip here; might still have more to offer over fences. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but his form has nosedived since, beating just one after a lay-off at Sedgefield (2m1f) 13 days ago. |

Scored at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but largely out of sorts subsequently, pulled up in 2m3f Carlisle handicap in November; lots more is needed after a layoff. |

Placed in slowly run Stratford novice (2m, good to firm) in July and reportedly lost her action when pulled up on handicap debut there later that month; not one of her stable's stars but remains unexposed. |
