9st 5lb |
All five wins have been over 7f on AW but latest was 11 months ago; on dangerous mark but he ended last year on a low note and was tailed off on his hurdling debut last month; has rejoined Darryll Holland since that last run but he has some questions to answer; blinkers reapplied. |

Won on handicap debut at Yarmouth last May; 0-6 since and hasn't progressed, while he's unraced beyond 7f, but he's posted some good runs in defeat and has been gelded since last time; not discounted. |

Made the frame over C&D at start of this month and again ran well on heavy ground when third behind Highfield Viking at Thirsk (7f, heavy) six days later; remains without a win since 2021, though, and drying ground will severely dent his appeal today. |

29th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Free-goer who is 2-7 over hurdles, the latter win gained in first-time hood on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in February; both subsequent runs (one on soft ground) were perfectly respectable but it seems that others in this line-up have more potential. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |
9/1 |

9th 1 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his five races, all over C&D, this year, his latest win coming last Tuesday when getting home by 0.5l; up 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past; should go well |
7/2 |

1st 9 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Veteran has shaped very nicely the last twice at Leopardstown (7f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (7.5f, good); close third off 3lb higher over C&D last summer; big chance with the step back up to 1m sure to suit. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Knocking on the door with increasing vigour and went down by just half-a-length in a 0-80 here three weeks ago (7f); no issue with returning to further (has won over 8.6f) and a 2lb rise is justified; claims. |
13/2 |

2nd 13 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Made all when making a winning debut for this yard over C&D last autumn (all four victories come late in the year); back on a workable mark and back in form lately but this is more competitive. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |
8/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Regressive gelding who's often been inclined to pull hard since returning from a year off; winless since his 3yo days and there are safer options. |
6/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Overall record of 2-30 but this 7yo has been in good form recently and he was only just caught over C&D last time; only 1lb higher and she should make another bold bid. |

Four wins on the Fibresand here, though has won four times on Tapeta elsewhere; returning from 468 days off when tailed off at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in September and plenty to prove after that. |
