6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ran fairly well when fourth on last two hurdling starts at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but it's over two years since his last win in that sphere and this Flat-bred 9yo has left it late in the day to begin his chasing career. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f hurdle winner here in summer 2023 but has largely struggled since; however, he took a good step forward with a tongue-tie added when fourth over C&D last month dropped to this level; well treated on best form and has possibilities, especially if recent wind surgery has a positive effect. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to add to his two 2m5f novice hurdle wins here in summer 2023 and returned from a break with two very disappointing runs last month; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Novice handicap chase winner but he wasn't the most consistent for Christian Williams; makes a quick return having signed off for that yard with fair second at Stratford (about 3m3f, good to firm) last Thursday; would probably welcome rain turning this into a stamina test and a popular win for his new owner can't be ruled out. |

2nd 4 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Last season ended on a low note, as he wasn't in much form before pulling up here in April behind Yes And Yes; the cheekpieces returned for his June run and he perhaps went off too hard having been clear at one stage (often front runs); has wellbeing issues to address, but he's on a handy mark and Jack Tudor is back aboard replacing a 7lb claimer (up top last three races). |
9/2 |

5th 4 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Ended last season with three poor runs but is now 3lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) in cheekpieces just over a year ago and might be boosted by the returning headgear. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form but, following a long absence, his belated switch to fences has not gone well with form figures of P55 (from 2m3f to 3m). |
25/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form; ultimately well beaten in both chases since returning from mammoth absence in September but travelled well for a long way here (3m, good) on latter occasion and today's trip-and-ground combination may suit him better; worth a second look. |
14/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Course winner over hurdles in 2021; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's chasing debut at Stratford (race won by Radharc Na Slaine) but that was his first outing for 900 days and he might come on for the run. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten on last month's stable debut at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) but made a lot of the running before fading into fourth over that C&D (good to firm) in refitted cheekpieces and a first-time tongue a fortnight later, and it's worth remembering that his only career win came in this race in 2024; goes in just the tongue-tie today; interesting. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Regularly makes the frame and was a respectable fourth over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) 17 days ago, but his strike-rate is now 1-41 and others appeal more for win purposes. |

4th 6 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Kept on for respectable third over C&D (good) four weeks ago and remains on a workable mark but has 1-40 career strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes. |

3rd 13 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-39 but was runner-up at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June and ran well for a long way from the front at Market Rasen last month before fading into fourth; enters calculations on the strength of his earlier effort. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Returned to winning ways in the new visor at Taunton (2m7f, good) but whether he'll follow one good run with another is questionable and he's gone up 6lb. |

1st 8 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Dual chase winner who showed up well until tiring on his first start for three months when fourth of eight finishers at Hereford (2m5f, good) 15 days ago; first-time visor replaces regular cheekpieces; place claims. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual chase winner; seemingly back in good nick when second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November but ended 2025 with two non-completions and his record when fresh is not good; others preferred. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden who has been making the frame on a regular basis until finishing last of five at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; hard to fancy for win purposes. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Only 1-16 over fences but it was his first run after wind surgery when coming from off the pace for a closing third at Bangor (3m, good) last week; that's something to build on and Sean Bowen is back. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Came good with narrow win off lowly mark at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in September but last month's reappearance run was disappointing; given another wind op (his second) since; others are more persuasive. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |

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. |
