11st 12lb |
Mixed form since he won on handicap/seasonal debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) in November but he ran well here last time (3m, good to soft) only to fade late on and he could be in the mix now back down in trip. |

11st 13lb |
The furthest he's been was 3m2f when he rallied to win from Red Delta in a small field at Doncaster (soft; made most) in November; something amiss next time but he was back on song for second at Carlisle (3m, good to soft; probably effective on good) on latest outing, making it good runs on both his starts in cheekpieces; up 2lb but needs a close look. |

Flopped badly last time when bidding for a Doncaster double but had looked open to further progress and may rebound; 1-1 in cheekpieces (hurdles win last March); not written off. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
5yo who won twice in novice company this spring before making all in a match at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in July; held in second of five there last time but that was another creditable effort and he still has potential in this sphere; key player. |

Improving 5yo who won twice in novice company this spring and made all in C&D match (also on good ground) when back in a handicap last month; contests a much deeper race today but still commands respect. |

11st 13lb |
Well beaten in latest handicap (March) and now 5lb higher but was a dual winner back in novice company this spring (2m/2m2f, good); evidently in good nick and has obvious claims in this small field. |

11st 5lb |
In the frame all four hurdling starts, most recently when fourth of eight in Doncaster handicap (2m5f, good) this month; probably needs to find something extra to open her account here but that's possible. |

Needs to produce more than she managed when a soundly beaten third on handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, soft) in January but this well-bred mare drops back down in grade today and could take a step forward. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Maiden over hurdles and fences; back hurdling for his last three starts and has to raise his game; the cheekpieces may help. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden over hurdles and fences; two good efforts in small-field Fakenham chases last year but his placed form over hurdles since back from a break suggest he'll be pushed to get off the mark today. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had a charmed spell for new yard earlier, five wins including one over C&D (good; also acts on soft); has run up to form only once in his last four starts though, following a revival at Fakenham last month with a tailed-off run at Windsor, and is still 6lb higher than the latest win. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four class 5 wins shared between hurdles and fences since joining James Owen, hacking up in a Newton Abbot chase latest (3m2f, good to soft); a fifth race in 25 days, a step back up in class and most significantly an additional 20lb hike all ask different questions this time. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Revitalised 8yo who started off for James Owen with two hurdle wins in refitted visor this month (2m5f/2m4f) and barely came off the bridle when scoring by 12l over fences at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on Tuesday; has further to go here but has good chance to extend winning spree under 7lb penalty. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but he went close in a Southwell handicap (2m, good to soft) in December; was never really travelling when a well-held third at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month but that was after a short break and cheekpieces are now added; dangerous if he can get back near best. |

0-8 over hurdles but kept on to be placed on both 2m starts since his wind op in November and looks well worth another go over today's longer trip; might be the answer. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

0-7 over hurdles but showed the benefit of a wind op when keeping on well for clear second behind odds-on favourite at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and is respected, despite going up 5lb for that run. |

Pulled up on handicap debut for James Ewart in March but made short-odds favourite work very hard when second in C&D maiden (good ground) for new yard this month; player if in same form on today's slower ground. |

Placed on first two of his three hurdling starts for James Ewart last season (2m/2m1f); disappointed when upped to 2m5f for handicap debut in March and was sold for £5,000 in May but can be competitive here if back on song for new stable; tongue-tie fitted. |
