10st 11lb |
Ordinary form over hurdles for Gordon Elliott; bought for £1,800 in May and now goes chasing on his stable debut; bit to prove. |

10st 7lb |
Left clear at final fence to exploit reduced mark at Down Royal (2m4f, good to yielding) on Boxing Day 2024 and will be fine over this longer trip but this is his first run since and he's a 12yo now. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Logged a third chase win this year when keeping on well at Newton Abbot last month (3m2f, good); at least one race per month since November speaks to his resilience, but it's noticeable that he's been kept to sharp tracks since pulling up at Exeter eight months ago. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Mostly out of form since joining current stable just over a year ago and was pulled up when upped to 2m7f for Bangor hurdle race last month, after a layoff; reverts to chasing in first-time visor; has too much to prove. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two claiming hurdes for Archie Watson (1m7f/2m) last spring but was 0-6 in handicaps for current stable afterwards; absent since heavy defeat over 2m3f in November and this reappearance run is his first venture beyond 2m5f; not the percentage call. |

1-12 over fences; below par for a while now, including on recent stable debut; new headgear combination. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Sole success came in a 3m handicap chase on good ground at Perth last August when 6lb lower; he can cope with this mark but needs a return to form on his stable debut. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track. |
