18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
None too consistent but he's a dual chase winner (2m4f/2m) and was second to the odds-on favourite in a small field last time; shouldn't be far away if giving his true running. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Lacks consistency but registered a success in a deeper C&D event (good to soft; off just 2lb lower) in December and has possibilities provided he's back in similar form. |
7/4 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has won twice over fences, over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in 2024 and over C&D (good to soft) in December; bit disappointing at Fakenham last time but could bounce back. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well. |

4th 5 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Hurdle (including C&D) and chase winner here and won a chase over the equivalent trip here latest, when on the same mark; well treated if able to translate that form back to this sphere; big player. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Generally solid for this yard, winning his latest two races on officially good ground, at 2m5f and 2m3f, just prevailing over a well-treated one here latterly; up in trip but the first win was on Carlisle's stiff track so he could stay this far; considered. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Gentle progression this spring culminated in April's Carlisle win (2m5f, good), and possible excuses both starts since (boiled over; 2m1f too sharp); no RPR better than 91 when there's been give in the ground. |
8/1 |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Came good for Sam England at third attempt, readily winning Carlisle chase (2m5f, good) by over 8l last month, and reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries before this month's poor run at Hexham; can be dangerous if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has won three races over fences, the latest off this mark over C&D in October (good); has not been in top form last few starts; could bounce back. |
11/2 |

8th 6 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has only won over fences (three times) and still held some sort of chance when unseating nine days ago at Market Rasen; his hurdle form isn't so convincing, though. |
20/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has won three chases, the latest at Hexham in October; not at his best on last two runs but on a fair mark now and could go well. |

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. |
11/4 |
|
13 |
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. |
