19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Successful once during a spell over fences that ended poorly; two attempts back over hurdles represent no improvement on previous form in this sphere; difficult task in this field, despite receiving weight all round. |
22/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June and ran well when back over hurdles there (2m4f, good) this month; remains on a workable mark and is 2-2 at this track; shortlisted. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Might have won over fences here in June but for a bad late mistake (2m4f, good) but, while her Grade 3 assignment at Galway can be forgiven, she was never at the races last time at Perth; could appreciate returning to hurdles and her mark is fine. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who made it 0-5 over fences with another disappointing show at Bangor in late March, despite returning to good ground; clearly needs to raise his game in the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |
7/1 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who is 0-4 over fences, with only effort of note in discipline when beaten in a match at Warwick in October (2m4f); does seem happier on good ground than soft, so last two efforts could be excused; cheekpieces return after going without them last time. |
8/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
3-20 hurdles, his latest win at Newcastle (2m1f Class 3; from 2lb higher) 11 months ago; a switch to fences hasn't suited (0-4, including being beaten in a match) but it's possible he'll strip fitter since his latest start; reverting to the smaller obstacles is helpful. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in December; however, beaten 20l in fifth when upped in grade at Haydock (2m, good to soft) last month and remains in Class 3 company today; a career-best is required. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and some good runs since, most recently close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) after a break; however, a career-best is needed now back up in grade. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Won modest maiden hurdle in March but struggled on recent stable/chase debut at Uttoxeter (race contested by Anyharminasking and Willie Shake Hands) and is effectively 1lb higher from further out of the weights here; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces. |
40/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Made all to cause 20-1 surprise in modest maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) for Micky Hammond in March but was sold for £5,000 after two subsequent heavy defeats (2m3f/2m5f) and is 3lb out of the weights for this stable/chase/handicap debut; drops back in trip and is fitted with first-time hood/tongue-tie; too risky. |
16/1 |

7th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Unplaced in bumpers but off the mark immediately over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m4f, good; 20-1) in March, making all under Brian Hughes; that was an emphatic success but he flopped under a penalty at Carlisle last month and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat. |
