6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Two wins for Chris Down last year, latest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) off 3lb lower; well-held fourth of seven on stable/seasonal debut at Worcester (2m5f) but ran well for a long way; worth considering with that run behind him. |

Won twice when trained by Chris Down last year; resumes following 293 days off for new trainer; betting will be best guide to his chance. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-10 over hurdles but seemingly aided by tongue-tie on last two appearances, more recently when clear second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; competes off same mark here and enters calculations. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Consolidated rather than improved upon previous best efforts during last season, despite the addition of cheekpieces; remains on a tempting mark, but significant rain wouldn't be welcomed. |

Her first encounter with heavy ground when tailed off on handicap debut (3m; 17-2); may fare better under drier conditions and her qualifying runs weren't devoid of promise. |

10st 6lb |
Essentially disappointing since finishing second in a bumper and was beaten 21l on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m3f); that was after a lengthy absence and now goes in cheekpieces over a longer trip (3m point winner). |

Runner-up in good-ground course bumper in October 2022 but struggled to get competitive in four subsequent hurdle races that season (2m-2m3f); makes handicap debut after 742-day absence; considered only if lively in betting. |

10st 12lb |
Did not show a great deal in her three qualifying races last summer (2m-2m4f) and makes her handicap debut after a 229-day break but she has a lowly opening mark and is well worth a glance in the betting. |

Finished 18l eighth of 13 on bumper debut at Southwell in May (2m, good); pulled up behind Briefly on hurdles debut and didn't show much last time at Uttoxeter (17l ninth of ten over 2m); longer trip may suit; others preferred. |

Remains winless over hurdles and he was well held when unseating his rider two out in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 17 days ago; others are much preferred. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Tailed off when 50-1 for 2m7f Worcester handicap last month and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces and drops back in trip here. |

Has appeared in two bumpers and five hurdle races, but tailed off on handicap debut in April and got rid of his jockey when the race started at Stratford in June (again 50-1); not seen since and now wears a hood. |
