29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
More wins this year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat (about 1m4f, good), but perhaps found out by a career-high mark at Ascot and Lingfield (back at 1m6f, good to firm) since; probably has work to do again. |

4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Having a fine year with success over hurdles and on the Flat (1m4f; stays this far), while latest fourth at Ascot was very respectable; solid claims. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has won six races on the Flat at up to 1m6f and this year is going particularly well, with two hurdle wins and now two over about 1m4f on Flat (on good ground at Salisbury and Chester); raised 4lb to career-high mark but should be fine back on good to firm and he's never been better. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner who goes well here; his last run needs forgiving but he had been in a good run of form; considered, for all that this is a rare run without any form of headgear. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Five-time winner who has been in good form this season and found only one too good over C&D a month ago; could have done without the 2lb nudge but should be involved; has competitive form in the reapplied tongue-tie. |
6/1 |

2nd 5 (9) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Reliable sort with five wins in the bag; a beaten favourite on his last two starts, his turn may be near once more but he is 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Anonymous effort at Taunton latest took his record over 2m3f and beyond to 9P8, inclusive of one outing over tonight's C&D; mixed returns in a hood before now, so no guarantee which way he'll go for the visor. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Flat winner (1m2f, good to firm) who is 0-9 over hurdles but he was a rallying third on his reappearance here (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he looks worth another try at this trip; not ruled out with hood removed. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Hooded when solid third over C&D (good) at the end of last year and scored at Plumpton (about 2m4f, soft) on next start in February; revised mark has seen him held in two subsequent starts but that doesn't tell the whole story as they were seriously competitive series qualifiers; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles when second here 13 months ago) are reapplied and he needs a firm second look. |
10/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Gained his Plumpton success (2m4f) in small field and was only midfield in a deeper race at Wincanton later in February; opposed in another competitive contest. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Knocking on the door on good ground this season prior to gaining a deserved win at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) recently; 6lb higher in a more competitive race today but he did it comfortably last time and has solid claims. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive type who made it three wins in his last four starts in 2m handicap at Huntingdon 18 days ago; up another 9lb but he scored readily there so is not taken lightly. |

19th Feb 2026 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Went up 10lb for winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft; completing a double) but was still competitive at Wincanton (soft) where he had a subsequent winner just behind him; nudged up another 1lb but has the least to prove of these. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fine on all ground; in a good run of form since the blinkers went on four starts back and this might not be quite so demanding as the Exeter race he contested last time; in the mix. |
7/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Only blinkered this season and the aids are working well, registering a fourth hurdle win under a positive ride at Wincanton (2m, heavy); 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but he has to be considered; good to soft is fine. |
5/1 |

1st 5 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Two good runs in blinkers this season, latterly when clear second of 13 at Wincanton (1m7f, soft; unraced on heavy) in December; nudged back up to his career-high mark since but still commands respect. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-15 over hurdles, with a very mixed record; ran quite well when third here (2m4f, good) last month but was well held in the end; not bred for fences and makes only limited appeal on this chasing debut. |
12/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Tailed off over C&D last month and now 0-14 over hurdles; urgently needs to prove some ability remains. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
His two best RPRs were recorded here last summer, albeit over 2m (good); two below-par efforts since April's serviceable third in a novice seller at Exeter and he has work on from 3lb out of the handicap. |
