18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Dual Fontwell winner and his other victories have come on left-handed tracks; hung in that direction on last month's visits to Kempton and he duly underperformed; should run better around here and this mark isn't beyond him. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Perhaps needed the run in C&D event nine days ago on return from break; largely productive over hurdles/fences otherwise this term, winning five times; good chance if tapping back into that progress. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Has enjoyed an excellent campaign, winning three times over hurdles in the autumn and also successful in handicaps at Lingfield (2m, good) and Plumpton (2m1f, soft) on his first two starts over fences; freshened up since a lesser run at Newbury over Christmas. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly treated on hurdle form and seems to need good ground, on which she was well beaten on chase debut two months ago; could be wiser for that experience but she was a remote last. |

Got off the mark over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) in August and not discredited after three months off when a fading fourth of nine in 2m6f handicap here 19 days ago; much respected on her chase debut. |

Winning pointer; 0-13 over hurdles; has placed form to his name and cheekpieces could be an interesting addition as he did some hanging at Chepstow last time. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
About 21l behind Inion Tiogair when sixth of 11 over C&D (soft) six weeks ago and now 0-11 over hurdles but ought to be much better suited by the less testing conditions today, and is now only 1lb higher than when second in a big field over C&D (good to soft) in the autumn. |

0-10 over hurdles and not yet proven on soft/heavy ground but was very unlucky to come to grief on last two appearances and remains just 3lb higher than when second of 16 over C&D (good) in November. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has record of 11142132 for his current yard, with those first three wins over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) and his last success over fences at Market Rasen (2m7f); up another 3lb after his second over hurdles at Warwick (2m3f, good) last month, but he went down fighting after making a mistake at the last; could still have more to offer and he's a big player. |
100/30 |

2nd 8 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Three hurdle wins (2m4f; good and good to soft) in the middle of 2025, then made a winning return to fences at Market Rasen (3m) in December; not so effective on soft next time but has a weights chance back hurdling. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of PPPPF over fences in 2023-24 but travelled strongly and mostly jumped fine returned to them at Market Rasen on Boxing Day (3m, good to soft), he and the runner-up pulling 17l and more clear; this is a warmer 0-100, but a 5lb rise isn't prohibitive next to his recent RPRs. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Lost out only by a nose to Orange Diamond over C&D (good) in August but was not quite in same form when fifth behind same rival here last month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

10st 12lb |
Lightly raced 6yo but he's not shown a great deal and was pulled up on chase debut over C&D (good to soft) in January; had wind surgery since but he needs a transformation after a short break; tongue-tie added. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Displayed minor promise when fourth on hurdling debut at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in December; two less encouraging runs followed towards end of last season but improvement is possible in handicaps this term. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

Minor encouragement in November's Hereford 2m4f hurdling debut fourth (backwards step since) and ought to have something to offer at this trip or further, albeit likelier in handicaps after this. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Maiden who has inconsistent chase form (P2P3) but looks one of the likelier players provided he backs up latest effort, namely creditable third at Warwick (3m); runs off the same mark. |
11/4 |

3rd 4 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Pulled up in two of three chase starts, the latest at Bangor after some guessy jumps; had run well when runner-up at Hereford (2m5f, good) in March, however, and should do better at some stage; tongue tied this time. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Placed effort over hurdles (3m1f) divides his two chase runs and was a 3l runner-up at Hereford last time (2m5f, good); more appealing than a good many. |

10st 2lb |
Made low-key stable debut over hurdles last month and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on subsequent chasing debut; 2lb wrong for this quick return to hurdling but it won't be a surprise if he gets his act together for his respected new training partnership soon; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles three weeks ago and is now 0-12 in that sphere but it won't be a surprise if he comes good for his respected new training partnership soon; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers on this chasing debut; 2lb wrong; watch the betting. |

Pulled-up 100-1 shot when making handicap debut for Tom Gretton at Stratford (2m good to firm) in August and effectively on same mark for stable debut; moves up in trip; considered only if much stronger in betting this time. |
