4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Did his winning for Evan Williams in batches, latterly when notching a hat-trick the winter before last; on a fair mark back from a short break but needs a revival after a few poor efforts in recent times. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |

Enjoyed very good campaign last season with three wins (two over fences); he's on a handy mark on that form but has been well beaten in fourth on both outings this term; needs to turn things around. |

Off since April but in was in the zone back then having delivered seasonal form figures of 111222; the latest near miss was over C&D and he's only 2lb higher for this; hard to dismiss. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Switched to chasing this season and ran well on first four starts, before an early unseat 12 days ago; all those were over about 2m4f and two attempts at this sort of trip last term as a hurdler left his stamina unproven. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Has proved very consistent (1322) in Class 5 events switched to chasing this season and gained the success over C&D (good to soft); brings solid claims to this higher grade back at Uttoxeter. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won on chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October and he's backed that up with two solid efforts, including when runner-up over C&D (good) in December; hasn't run on testing ground for a while, but he still has potential as a chaser and is only 4lb higher than for his win; respected with tongue-tie added. |

Badly out of form since the autumn but has a first-time tongue-tie fitted here and is now now 10lb lower than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer; well worth a glance in the betting. |

Drying conditions will be in his favour but this 7yo has been struggling for a while now on all sorts of surfaces; potentially on a good mark even from out of the handicap but he's a risky proposition at the minute. |

Held every chance when unseating late on in a chase at Wincanton on Boxing Day (2m4f); again let down by his jumping at Ludlow; sold for £19,500 since; likely best watched after a change of yard, especially back over hurdles with stamina to prove. |

From a smart family but he's struggled in his four hurdle runs, including a Warwick handicap (2m3f, good to soft) last month; still early days for this 5yo but he needs plenty of progress on this step up to 2m7f. |

6yo maiden who ran well, one place in front of Les's Destiny Star, in first-time visor over C&D (good to soft) last month on debut for new stable and return from lengthy layoff; likely player provided that effort is backed up and the bounce is avoided. |

Well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in January but 3-3 since switched to fences with tongue-tie/cheekpieces fitted this spring, with all three wins gained over C&D on good ground; comfortably pulled 10l clear of Summer In Milan 16 days ago and his latest 11lb rise is partially offset by Freddie Mitchell's useful 5lb claim today; makes obvious appeal. |
