26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Inconsistent but he won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last July and returned from a break with a close third here (2m5f, soft) on Boxing Day, staying on nicely; he's fine at this trip; not his fault when unseating mid-race at Haydock last month; could be involved. |

Inconsistent but he won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last July and returned from a break with a close third at Wetherby (2m5f, soft) on Boxing Day, staying on nicely; he'll be fine now back up in trip and could be involved. |

Returned to form to win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and again ran well when fourth there (2m4f, good) last month; stays this far and is effective on soft ground; goes well for Benjamin Macey, with form figures of 29214, and he could have a part to play. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

In good form when last in action, coming from off the pace to score at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) just over one year ago, but has fitness to prove here. |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Both hurdle wins in Ireland during 2019; thereabouts in handicaps at 2m and 2m4f for this yard in the second half of 2023 and was still travelling well enough when falling three out at Hereford (2m3f, good) this May; unproven beyond 2m4f but has the ability to figure; one of two runners for the stable. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences; hasn't had much go his way since scoring in October but he was still in contention when unseating three out over fences last time in a race won by Dunkerque; now 10lb better off with that rival and he should be competitive given a change in fortune; forecast rain is a concern though. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 5-13 over hurdles and he's rated 10lb lower as a chaser (0-5); however, hasn't offered a lot in this discipline and it's over a year since he last went chasing. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Strike-rate of 5-12 over hurdles and won easily at Warwick (2m5f, good) before pulling up at Ascot in October; he does have a bit to prove off this mark even if returning in good order. |

Plenty of good runs to his name since his last win in September 2023 and he raced freely after a break when behind Miss Maverick and Sir Galahad here 22 days ago; better can be expected this time. |

Has made the frame several times since his last win in September 2023; returns from a winter break on a career-low mark and not out of this if he is ready to roll. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 3 |

Scores good marks for his consistency for Fergal O'Brien since last autumn but is yet to win for this stable and appears to have very little margin for error off current mark. |

11st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner; went close off today's mark at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in March but this regressive 10yo was soundly beaten over fences when last in action and would appeal much more on slower ground. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Inconsistent 10yo who was well beaten when back over fences in May (2m6f), then unsuited by the drop back to 2m on his most recent start at Newton Abbot last month when a well-held third of six; on a good mark if the mood takes him now back up to a more suitable test. |

Went close over hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in March but this inconsistent and steadily regressive 10yo was well beaten when back over fences last month (2m6f); drops back to about 2m for first time since hurdle debut in 2020; has done all his winning on ground slower than good. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage mare who won a maiden over hurdles and was second off 1lb lower in June (2m4f); unable to justify favouritism on chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, good; 1lb higher) but jumped okay and ran well; in the mix. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won 2m4f maiden hurdle here a year ago and all three runs in handicap hurdles over that trip this season have been perfectly respectable; upped to 2m7f for this chasing debut and has possibilities if she takes well to fences; raced only on good/good to soft ground under rules. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Launched hurdling career with two good-ground Perth wins last summer (2m4f/2m) and was creditable third on handicap debut at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November; off for 258 days since but remains open to improvement; major player if fully tuned up. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran fairly well when second over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May, albeit no threat to winner Doc McCoy and subsequently disqualified after rider weighed in light, but was tailed off over fences last month and has become unreliable. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Ran well on both visits here, winning over hurdles last March and second over fences in December; however, he's been out of form elsewhere on his last three outings, back hurdling on last two, and now has tongue tied first time; not proven over this far; 10lb claimer is recruited. |

Four-time hurdle winner who is usually ridden patiently; didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (2m, good) last month and is 2lb lower here; no surprise if she poses a threat. |

Triple hurdle winner and chase winner (2m4f), on good or slower; that chase win came readily on his penultimate start, at Southwell; unable to back that up after a 7lb rise and step up in grade at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) latest; still well treated on his winning effort, if he can repeat it. |

Made all to win by 12l at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January, despite racing too freely, but was hit quite hard by the handicapper for that and was safely held on both subsequent outings (2m5f/2m7f). |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

One blip over 3m1f aside she's held her form fine since the winter's Southwell and Huntingdon successes, a refusal to settle just finding her out late at Fontwell latest (2m6f, good); no margin for error following a 2lb rise for not winning that, however. |
