13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won from the front over C&D in April (good) and returns only 2lb higher; latest Market Rasen run may have been needed. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has not really kicked on from his front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in the spring but his Newton Abbot third (3m2f, good) in July was a good effort and this return to a right-handed track will suit. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Came good with front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April but his last couple of runs (2m/2m4f) were substandard and he tackles this new trip with some questions to answer. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by just over 9l at Hereford (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago and is now 3-13 over fences; 7lb higher here but this trip-and-ground combination will also suit. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won this (good to soft) last year off 4lb lower, beating Kingcormac (second) and Greenways (pulled up); scored on heavy at Leicester next time and largely consistent since; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and has dipped below that last winning mark; player. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Reliable veteran who was in good form when last seen, finishing third on his last three runs; won this off 1lb lower last year and he's worth considering back from a break. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Just one win from 24 starts but that was by 11l over fences at Hereford (2m, good) in March and he ran into a handicap blot there in final run in the spring; looks interesting off 3lb lower on his return and his win was under Shane Quinlan. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning. |
5/2 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Resumed winning ways at Fakenham (2m7f) in April but she made mistakes when a remote third of five in 2m5f handicap chase there 12 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

3rd 5 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won this race a year ago and was also on target over hurdles here (2m7f, good) last month; again ran well when second in 3m chase (good) three weeks ago but is effectively 10lb higher from out of the weights today. |
11/2 |

2nd 4 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won over fences here (2m5f, good) last spring and doubled her course tally in modest handicap hurdle (2m7f, good) a week ago; far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but reverts to chasing on a good mark and has obvious claims if in the right mood again. |

Ex-Nicky Henderson 8yo whose form hit the buffers last season under both codes; three non-completions in four starts for current yard and reservations remain. |

29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Progressive hurdler in 2023 when with Nicky Henderson but he couldn't get it together over fences or hurdles last season and no sign of a revival for new yard; best watched with cheekpieces returning in place of a hood. |

Limited hurdler who goes chasing from 7lb out of the weights and she's hard to recommend. |
