15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
10yo whose form has been mixed this season but he's edged back down the weights and his Newmarket yard is 3-6 here; capable of a big run. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Most consistent win or lose over either obstacle for this stable until finding a brush hurdle series final at Worcester all too much last time (2m4f, good); swimming in calmer waters again on this return to fences, albeit still above any class he's ever won in. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Consistent over fences and hurdles for new stable this season, winning once under each discipline; suited by this C&D but may find less exposed rivals better handicapped today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Logged a third chase win this year when keeping on well at Newton Abbot last month (3m2f, good); at least one race per month since November speaks to his resilience, but it's noticeable that he's been kept to sharp tracks since pulling up at Exeter eight months ago. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Suffered dip in form after pair of 3m1f Hereford wins towards end of last season but seemed to run well when third of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good; headgear switched) a fortnight ago and is now 2lb below his last winning mark; enters calculations. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Stamina to spare at tonight's trip, and he's representing last year's race-winning trainer and rider combination; never especially consistent, however, and last month's Hexham disappointment as favourite took his chasing strike-rate to 2-16; unclear what to expect. |
5/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
1lb above last winning mark (3m, Southwell); knocking on the door at Taunton (3m4f; third) on penultimate start, and might have had a role to play in the Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f) latest but for falling three out. |
9/2 |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Back in good nick for his two runs last month, latterly when close third to Wicked Thoughts at Taunton (3m4f, good); still unexposed over marathon trips and still on a workable mark; could have a say. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 150y |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over regulation fences and this year's pointing exploits are nothing to shout about, last time finishing well behind Revolut Ned. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Former Irish pointer/hunter chaser; hasn't performed at all for current yard over hurdles or fences. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Former Irish pointer/hunter chaser; looked badly out of sorts in handicap chases for new stable last season (four starts) and it takes a big leap of faith to support him on this hurdle debut; had wind op last month; swaps visor for refitted blinkers. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Looked out of sorts when pulled up on last two hurdling starts but won race this race under Sean Bowen a year ago (good ground) and is only 1lb higher today; contender if perked up by headgear switch. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Only 3l away at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but was pulled up over nearly 3m at Uttoxeter; didn't appear to stay but goes again at about 3m with a tongue-tie added; 4lb out of the weights. |
10/1 |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Winning chaser who is 0-11 over hurdles but was only 3l away at Newton Abbot three weeks ago (2m5f, good); stamina not proven over this far but has each-way claims. |
