10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Low-mileage 6yo; below form when when favourite for 1m7f handicap chase in December but evidently well suited by combination of hike up in trip and return to hurdling when close second at Doncaster (3m, good) last month; must be considered. |
7/4 |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
6yo who kept on well for close fourth on his handicap and chase debut at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) in November; failed to back that up at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but this 3m point runner-up could be suited by the step up in trip now back hurdling; intriguing contender. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-12 over hurdles but caught the eye at Doncater (3m, good) last month, keeping on well from the rear to finish third (just behind Skin Full); big player if able to build on that recent effort. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well backed into 3-1 favouritism at Uttoxeter but was soundly beaten; has never managed to threaten in a handicap and is now 0-11; needs to raise his game. |
8/1 |

5th 10 |
31st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Never looked dangerous when sixth at Taunton (3m, good to soft) in first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces last month and is now 0-10 over hurdles; not written off just yet but needs to up his game. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Placed on final three outings last season, most recently when third of ten at Taunton (3m, good) in March; remains on career-high mark for this reappearance but won't be far away if fully tuned up. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back on track with two good seconds this winter, the latter at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, and ought to handle the faster ground here; can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who got back on track with a second at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft) in December and the first three pulled well clear in that race; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he's still unexposed as a stayer. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-10 under rules but left disappointing chase debut behind when second of ten at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January, and last month's Warwick third (3m, soft) was also a good effort; a possible if in similar form on the faster ground here. |

12st 0lb |
Point winner who is 0-9 under rules but showed improved form when second at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) last month on her second chase start; this lightly raced 9yo may well be able to get off the mark today. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran mare; yet to hit top gear this season and fell when last in action but will be suited by today's trip/track/ground and has slipped to a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
11/1 |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Now 12 but she won off this mark at Taunton (2m3f, soft) last March and shaped when fifth of 16 there (2m3f, good to soft) last month as though she may benefit from this step back up in trip; each-way contender. |

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. |
4/1 |

6 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
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. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
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. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Still to get her head in front but she's made a positive start for Adam Nicol this term, runner-up to Cosmic Soul over C&D 13 days ago; she enjoys a 9lb pull in the weights now so this keen-going sort is a player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-11 but she's run okay on two of her three starts for this yard (2m5f/2m4f, good/good to soft; including here) and continues to edge down the weights; not ruled out each-way. |
9/1 |
|
6th 17 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ex-Nigel Hawke; creditable fourth in Sedgefield handicap (2m5f, good; 11-5 favourite) on stable debut in November and she may not have handled the heavy ground at Ayr (sixth of eight) last month; record is now 0-10 but she could be dangerous if she can bounce back near best. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran creditably at Hereford (3m1f) last time, bouncing back from two poor efforts, but this looks a tougher assignment; still seeking first handicap success above Class 5. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual hurdle winner on good ground this summer (2m7f/3m2f); last month's chasing defeat is probably best overlooked (didn't jump well enough) but he has high mileage for his age and might be vulnerable in this grade. |

11st 9lb |
Struggled when 40-1 for handicap debut here (2m3f, good to soft) in January; that was his first run after a long layoff and he remains unexposed but he needs to be a completely different proposition over this new trip. |
25/1 |

18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed only minor promise in his three qualifying runs in 2023 (1m7f-2m3f) and makes handicap debut after a long absence but remains very unexposed and is worth a glance in the betting. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden under both codes but he was running well when crashing out two from home at Taunton 17 days ago (3m, good); enters the reckoning. |
7/1 |

9 |
10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Didn't fire on latest outing but began handicap hurdle career with encouraging thirds at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and Fakenham (2m7f, good); 4lb lower now and Philip Armson claims 3lb today; could have a say. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 |
3rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair stayer on the Flat (albeit a maiden); third in both handicap hurdles, more recently when upped to 2m7f at Fakenham (good) a fortnight ago, but needs to find something extra here; cheekpieces refitted. |
8/1 |
