29th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Two solid efforts in staying chases in June and July (RPRs of 98 and 101), form that would give him leading claims; below that level in two runs over hurdles since but has had wind surgery since and returns to fences off 4lb lower since his latest run over fences; looks a major player. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Launched chasing career with two very respectable runs in June and again ran okay when sixth of ten on last month's hurdling return at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); continues to edge down the weights and won't mind if the ground softens; could have a say. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by good) in November but has become inconsistent and was pulled up on latest outing seven weeks ago; not easy to predict. |
8/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
5-27 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (extended 3m1f, good to soft; 2lb higher today) in November; has a shout on that showing but there have been backward steps in his two starts since. |
5/1 |

4th 3 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
5-26 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) in November; not in same form when third of four at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft) last month and may not have much margin for error off current mark but still enters calculations. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but she struggled last year and was beaten 20l at Sedgefield when last seen in November; now 4lb lower than for her last success but she needs a major revival after a break. |
14/1 |
|
4 |
7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Only 1lb higher than when winning at Ludlow (3m, good) last November but has very unconvincing record since returning from a break in April; lost jockey when attempting to refuse at first flight on penultimate appearance and was soundly beaten when fourth last time; others are much less risky. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from a break with two below-par hurdle runs in the spring; lost her jockey after a bad mistake over fences in July and repeated the feat when slamming the brakes on back over hurdles at Stratford 18 days ago; might be developing ideas and she can only be watched after that. |

Three runs over fences and progressing, winning by a length at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) after racing up with the pace; just 4lb higher here. |
4/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed over this sort of trip over hurdles in the autumn and began chasing career with two very respectable runs at Huntingdon (both 2m7f, good; behind Ann d'Arabie last time) this spring; on a workable mark and probably won't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
26th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up twice off today's mark over hurdles last year (2m5f/3m2f); only third-best on merit when modest second over C&D (good) on last month's chasing debut but that run came after a break and she may still have potential over fences. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Ran okay over hurdles last time but hasn't won a race since 2019 and he's had loads of chances over fences (0-23); capable of going well but not one for maximum faith. |
14/1 |
|
4 |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Soundly beaten in two chases in August and remains without a win since summer 2019; reverts to hurdling on a workable mark and runs this track well but is probably not the percentage call. |
10/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Won three times over hurdles in Ireland; 0-22 over fences and was tailed off at Market Rasen (2m5f) 11 days ago but he was a good second at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) on his penultimate run; that form puts him in the picture and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A chase at Perth (3m, good) last August off 5lb lower was his only win from 17 starts; left Ella Pickard before pulled up here 13 days ago on debut for new stable, but it's notable that he started 13-8 favourite in that chase; now he's back hurdling for first time since 2022. |
7/1 |
|
4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Got off the mark at Perth (3m, good) last August off 9lb lower mark when trained by Ella Pickard; two decent efforts when placed subsequently but was pulled up at Hexham in October when last seen; makes stable debut and worth a look in the betting. |
5/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has record of 282324132 since switched to chasing and he ran into a major improver when a front-running second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago; up 3lb but they were strung out behind him last time and he should give it another good shot back in trip. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
All the fences up the home straight were omitted when he narrowly made all in a first-time tongue-tie over 3m here in May (good); found wanting back here a month ago but could still go well if back on song. |
8/1 |
|
5 |
14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Gamely made all to open account over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) six weeks ago, his third start over fences; might improve again but several fences were omitted in that rather unsatisfactory race, and he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good today. |
4/1 |

3rd May 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

0-10 under rules; tailed off on chase debut but that was over 2m3f and upped to 3m1f at Hereford he ran well from the front; good chance off an untouched mark; now tongue tied. |

Back from a year out to win a 3m point and then runner-up over 3m here a month ago on his return to fences; considered off an untouched mark. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not seen under rules since tailed off in 2m4f hurdle here in May 2024 but returned from one-year absence with 13l win in five-runner maiden point (good ground) last month and is evidently in good heart; 6lb wrong here but still considered. |

18th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
16-race maiden who was well held over fences in his final three runs (2m6f, good) in 2022 and has been on the sidelines since; returns after 660 days off and is best watched back over hurdles; equipment removed. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Belatedly supplemented 2024's pointing five-timer with success at Ffos Las a week ago (good), seeing out the stayers' trip better than she sometimes has under rules; have to hope there's more to come, for although 1lb well in the penalty takes her mark just above any RPR ever run to. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Five-time point winner who has made the frame in all six chases, most recently when third at Uttoxeter (3m, good) 11 days ago; effectively 2lb lower here and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
5/2 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
5-15 in points; launched chasing career with three good efforts this spring/summer (2m3f-3m2f), and good to soft ground had probably turned against her when she was below that form last week; 2lb out of the weights but can make her presence felt. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Winning pointer who was making it 17th-time lucky under rules when beating Zoffalee over C&D (good) nine days ago; 1lb wrong there so 6lb higher under his penalty, but even so with conditions likely to be similar he has to make the shortlist. |
8/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |

On a good mark and the signs were more encouraging when fourth over 2m7f at Worcester three weeks ago (behind McGregors Charge); seems to be running into form after an absence. |
12/1 |
|
14 |
25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win remains a dead-heat in a Welsh maiden point in 2022, but second in this race in 2023 and there was some encouragement to take from this month's Warwick fourth on his second outing following a sizeable layoff. |
