3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In a new visor he won two C&D handicaps last August; hit and miss since then but the visor in which he has form figures of 115 now belatedly returns. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Largely disappointing since winning at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October and found no immediate benefit from wind surgery when a 27l fourth of six at Fontwell (3m2f, good) a fortnight ago; entitled to improve for that but has something to prove at present. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Now 3lb lower than for narrow win at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October but largely disappointing since; reportedly made respiratory noise when well beaten at Newton Abbot in June and was given wind op during subsequent 75-day break; sometimes wears cheekpieces but doesn't today. |
9/2 |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from break with 36l defeat in April but last month's Fontwell fourth (3m2f, good) was more encouraging and the cheekpieces (worn for the second of last year's two chase wins) are now back on; won't mind if the ground is quicker than good; can't be ruled out. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has thrived since returning to action this summer, landing two wins over fences before registering her first hurdles win, over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; 4lb rise may not be enough to stop her winning again. |
2/1 |

1st 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
2-2 here over fences since returning from a break, latest when staying on best five days ago, taking her tally in that sphere to four, all at about this trip; yet to win in 20 attempts over hurdles, which does temper enthusiasm, and this is a quick turnaround, but she's thriving at present and hard to rule out. |
11/8 |

1st 4 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Largely consistent mare who justified support back from an absence when landing a third chase win last month, her second over C&D; up 5lb but Alix Balfe claims 7lb and she'll likely give her running and be thereabouts. |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Just 2-32 under rules but both wins were gained over C&D on good ground, the latter when keeping on just too strongly for subsequent winner Flashy Boy last month; 5lb higher now but a likely contender again. |
11/4 |

1st 7 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success in 31 attempts under rules came over C&D in July last year but he's lacked consistency since and, following a promising fourth here in June, finished 19l behind My Girl Katie over C&D the following month; has claims on his best form but comes with risks. |
10/1 |

5th 8 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole career success came in this race 12 months ago and a recent close fourth here behind Edgewell should have teed him up for his defence; nothing wrong with his mark for all that he's 1lb wrong. |
