16th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March; on a tempting mark now but his tendency to race far too freely remains a worry, and others are much less risky. |

6th 4 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Winner of bumper (soft) and maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft); his free-going tendencies have remained evident over fences (0-4) but he might be happier back hurdling and this track should suit his style if they do go forward with him. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper (soft) and maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) winner who took a step forward when third of three, beaten about 8l, at Aintree (2m, good to soft) on Boxing Day on his third chase start; he's since had a second wind operation and this southern raider may be able to build on that latest effort. |

raced in second, led 4th, faced challenge from 3 out, hung left when headed approaching last, kept on |

12th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gave short-odds favourite a brief scare when clear second at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in January and may have found 2m3f on heavy ground too taxing when well-held second of three here in February; no surprise if he features on this handicap debut. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two-time bumper winner who was runner-up in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester in May 2023; well below that form since returning from long absence in January, with his two handicap runs in April particularly disappointing, but the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye here. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
No closer than about 16l in five starts, the last three over hurdles (2m-2m4f); might well raise his profile now into handicaps. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

No closer than 16l in four starts divided between bumpers and hurdles; others have achieved a lot more. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Yet to win over hurdles but has filled the runner-up berth on his last three starts, latest when beaten a neck at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 20 days ago; looks sure to be thereabouts. |
11/4 |

2nd 14 |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Yet to score over hurdles but has finished runner-up on his last two starts, the latest over C&D (good to soft) in March; needs to brush up his jumping but should run well. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Won on the Flat in Germany and France in his youth; 0-7 over hurdles but he was a creditable second off a reduced mark at Huntingdon (2m5f, good) 17 days ago; would have finished closer if he didn't make mistakes at the last two hurdles and he's a player if he can repeat that form back in trip. |

11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Off the mark at Leicester (2m7f, soft) in February before posting a good second of four in 3m1f handicap at Plumpton (good); the drop back to 2m4f was not ideal there last time; better expected here. |
7/2 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who got off the mark at Leicester (2m7f) in February before posting a very good second of four in 3m1f handicap here two weeks ago; drops in trip but on the up so still rates a player for yard firmly among the winners. |
13/8 |

2nd 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has improved for cheekpieces, following his second at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to soft) with a 3l success at Leicester (2m6f, soft) which was despite a mistake two out; probably still fairly treated off 5lb higher. |

Tailed off/pulled up on his three outings over hurdles and a transformation is needed following wind surgery; cheekpieces go on. |
