25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Bath (1m5f, soft) around a year ago but largely kept to AW since and went back-to-back in that sphere (1m6f/2m) across May and June; lesser effort at Kempton three weeks ago but he's not ruled out on this return to turf. |

Won well over C&D in June, completing an AW double, and posted a solid effort back here last time (odds-on winner has boosted the form since); likely player off unaltered mark. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Lowly rated these days on the Flat and has shown little in three runs over hurdles; makes handicap hurdle debut up in trip and needs to show significant improvement. |

A fair 1m6f Flat winner; built on his hurdling debut seventh when third of four in 2m Doncaster novice 27 days ago but this demands considerably more. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Only 2-54 and a long time has passed since that second success; well handicapped on some form over 1m6f last season but he was up and down last year and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; others preferred. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Looked as good as ever when winning readily by 7l at favourite track Taunton (2m3f, good) three weeks ago and is now 3-19 over hurdles; 7lb higher here but still respected in current mood. |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Landed a 'hands and heels' event over C&D in March and respectable efforts in two subsequent starts, latterly when second off this mark at Exeter (about 2m2f, also good; Green Sky tailed off) on Friday; on the premises again if this doesn't come too soon. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |

Multiple Flat winner at up to 1m6f and dual hurdles winner at up to 2m3f; goes well on a sound surface; 6lb higher than when scoring at Taunton on his penultimate start; beaten more than 9l when unpenalised at Plumpton latest, but should be competitive. |

Needed a drop to Class 6 to open his account in Catterick event (1m4f, good) last time; back up in grade but may build on that win and also have more to offer in the retained cheekpieces. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who returned from wind surgery to finish a respectable fifth on AW Flat and backed that up when 15l second in a 2m maiden hurdle at Southwell (soft) last month; a lesser effort in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby three weeks ago needs forgiving but he dips into a Class 6 for the first time now back on the Flat and has the ability to make his mark at this level; cheekpieces rejoin the tongue-tie. |
4/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fair maiden on the Flat and he ran okay when 15l second in a maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; now goes handicapping in this code off a modest mark and he could have a part to play. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
1m4f heavy-ground maiden winner last spring; hasn't progressed in handicaps and cheekpieces (discarded) failed to reignite the spark at Hamilton in June, after which he left Karl Burke; market support would aid his cause on this stable debut. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Unusual profile, having been pulled up in a Tabley point-to-point last May before reappearing with three quick qualifying runs on the Flat (1m-1m4f, good/good to firm) this summer in cheekpieces; worth putting on market watch now up in trip for handicap debut. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |

Remains capable at the age of 10 (won on the Flat in October) but it's been hard work back over hurdles, albeit in a pair of Class 2 handicaps; looks vulnerable. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Useful dual-purpose performer in his youth; had a long spell on the sidelines prior to his return in February and he's struggled on the Flat and over hurdles this year; down in the weights and he was prominent in the betting last time so he can't be dismissed. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 13lb |
Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous. |
