21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Hasn't won for nearly three years but he's often placed and was only just denied over 2m1f here in June, though he has to be forgiven a below-par run when well behind Stinginhisstep over C&D last month; could place again, with Brian Hughes taking over from a claimer, if back on song. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Went down fighting when beaten a head off today's mark here (2m1f, good) last month, his second run after a layoff, and will be fine over today's longer trip; featured prominently in calculations. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
C&D winner (2022, no win since) who was second twice here last summer; shaped as though the run might have been needed when finishing sixth of ten on reappearance over C&D (good) 20 days ago; on a competitive mark and likely to be all the sharper for that. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Refused to race at Wincanton in October so not without risk; won at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last August and returned to form with 11l third under Anna Johnston at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in December; the winner aside, that latest form is working out well and he could be thereabouts down 2lb. |

22nd Nov 2022 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Largely consistent maiden who has been placed several times, most recently in a blanket finish at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) where she idled in front but kept on; unseated early here last time after clipping heels and she was one of the favourites that day; should have a say once more. |

5th Jul 2023 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Out of form on the Flat this spring and also ran poorly over fences on latest outing one month ago; comes here with a lot to prove; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers; considered only if lively in the betting. |

4th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won four-runner maiden hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm) last November and soft ground may not have suited in Sandown handicap next time; however, he's failed to shine on the Flat this year which dents confidence in his claims on this chase debut. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple Flat wins; 2-3 on AW, albeit four winters ago; unknown quantity these days, not showing much on the Flat and over hurdles for previous trainer in 2022 and finished remote back from absence on stable debut at Ayr last month; tongue-tie discarded. |
33/1 |

12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Four-time Flat winner but the latest was in June 2021 and he struggled to get competitive off a lowly hurdle mark last year; makes his stable debut after an absence and could be best watched. |

2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Capable of fairly useful winning form on the level but his form doesn't read nearly so well in this sphere and he came in well held over C&D in September; others are preferred. |
25/1 |

17th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Enjoyed a purple spell with four AW Flat wins in early-2021 but has largely struggled since; the fact his best hurdle run came over C&D offers some hope but was well beaten in handicap hurdles in August/September; also well held on AW Flat six weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie. |

31st Jul 2022 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Always towards rear on both outings since returning from a break this month but has landed a few gambles over the years, including when winning easily off 1lb lower over C&D (good) last summer; watch the market. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner, most recently in this race a year ago; lost his way a bit afterwards and, following a layoff, was no match for the easy winner when second of five in this grade at Fakenham (2m, good) three weeks ago; however, still makes more appeal than most of these. |
