20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Free-goer who won twice at Bangor last year (2m3f/2m7f); absent since consecutive heavy defeats last July/September, though, and returns with quite a bit to prove. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Exposed mare who was winning her first handicap when a clearcut winner at Bangor (2m, good); effectively off the same mark with William Maggs' claim erasing the 5lb rise and shouldn't be too inconvenienced should it get wet. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Still just a Ludlow novice win on her CV (2m, good); cheekpieces haven't provoked any major improvement but she continues in fair heart, finding only one completing a hat-trick too good for her at Cartmel latest. |
7/4 |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Fairly consistent in handicaps since her Ludlow novice win (2m, good) just over a year ago; drops back in trip after perfectly respectable second at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) last month and probably won't be far away. |

Has won two of his 12 races over fences, most recently over 3m5f at Sedgefield last October (good), but not in top form on last three starts. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Successful over fences (twice) and hurdles last term; went off the boil on his last two runs early on this year and is 7lb higher than his last winning mark; looks to need to come down the weights. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Both hurdles wins came at Bangor last summer; has made the frame on all three starts since and looks to have been crying out for this step up in trip; first-time cheekpieces worn last time are discarded; contender. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Tended to hang when failing favourite backers off this mark here (2m5f) last month but that was another solid enough run; should be heavily involved. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Resurgent 8yo who kept on well to score at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) three weeks ago; recent 3lb rise does not look excessive and he could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip; major player. |
11/4 |

1st 6 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |

Has proved resurgent with a pair of second-place finishes and the latest effort, over C&D, is a solid piece of form; back up 5lb but has won off this mark; respected. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made it 6-17 over fences with his brave win at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; flopped in his follow-up bid at Huntingdon (pulled up) but he's only 1lb higher than for that penultimate run and he won here in the summer; player if he can bounce back. |
5/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual chase winner this season, latterly when battling on well at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and has a course hurdle win on his CV; ought to be right in the thick of things. |

24th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

£140,000 3yo; half-brother to 2m6f hurdle winner Cardamon Hill; dam unraced half-sister to Champion Hurdler Binocular (also 1m1f Flat winner) and 10.5f and 1m7f Flat/2m2f-3m chase winner Assassino; big-money purchase and represents a yard that does well in bumpers; has to be respected. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

Point winner who got off the mark at the third time of asking over fences over C&D (good) last month, finding plenty when challenged; there should be more to come. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

0-11 under rules; didn't run badly when back over hurdles in March but was safely held in both chases last season (2m7f/3m) and has become disappointing. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles but kept on for second at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and this 6yo is a possible improver now switched to fences by his top trainer; unproven on slow ground; could be a player. |
5/1 |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Standout run is the close third at Warwick in April (2m3f, good); had a break since running too bad to be true next time; has a race in him off this mark, and there's a good chance he'll stay okay. |
