27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has plenty of form around here over hurdles and fences, and very nearly won this race 12 months ago off 1lb higher (under Charlotte Jones); ran surprisingly well when 125-1 for a Class 2 at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
10/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Hurdles form (handicap winner over 2m4f-3m1f) does not look quite good enough in this higher grade and the form of his winning chase debut at Cartmel last July has been followed by heavy defeats in both starts since (ridden by this 10lb claimer on latest); others preferred. |
33/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
For one who stays 3m2f he did well to make a winning chase debut over 2m1f here (soft; effective on soft) a month ago; Brian Hughes rides again off a 6lb higher mark and should go well if his jumping holds up. |

7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner last year, latterly over C&D (good) in October; absent since lesser effort here in November, though, and will need to resume in prime form to have a chance off his current mark. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Well backed when returning to winning form over C&D (good) last month with three of these behind; a 6lb rise and a lack of consistency the main obstacles to a follow-up. |

20th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Inconsistent 11-race maiden who was a well-held eighth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; drops back in trip/grade but his form has gone the wrong way in handicaps and others are more convincing; cheekpieces back. |
25/1 |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Mid-race faller at Bangor last month; well held there yesterday, taking record to 0-11; ran creditably (80-1) when third in novice contest here in October and has place hopes on that effort. |
14/1 |

8th 10 |
22nd Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Unable to land a telling blow in his first two handicaps (2m/1m7f) and was a mid-race faller when last in action; not yet fully exposed but needs today's step up in trip to enable improvement. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Made inauspicious start to hurdling career last season but, following a break, ran well for a long way before weakening into seventh in recent Hereford maiden (2m, good); has lowly mark for today's handicap debut; further progress possible. |
10/1 |

24th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed a modicum ability in bumpers in 2022 but was soundly beaten on all four hurdling starts last season, most recently when remote third in plating company in January. |
