It's now 15 runs since his last success but this course winner posted a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; he's one for the shortlist. |

Gained two of his five hurdle wins over C&D and was second off mark 7lb higher than today's when making stable debut in this race a year ago (good); lost his way afterwards, though, and absent since heavy fall in November. |

Five-time winner for Mark Walford who was runner-up at Hexham (2m, good) in May on his stable debut; however, pulled up there on both runs since (2m, good/good to soft) and returns from a break with something to prove. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |

Sole success came when wide-margin winner over hurdles at Fakenham just under one year ago but he's finished runner-up on 12 occasions, including five times in succession over fences between September and November; had wind surgery after heavy defeat over hurdles at Windsor over five months ago; market might guide on this return. |

Won over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in June and was runner-up in two chases last month, latterly behind King Of The Story at Warwick (2m4f, good); also ran well back over hurdles at Fakenham on Friday, but the forecast rain is a worry. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in a bumper and three hurdle races in 2022, and makes his handicap/chase debut after a 521-day absence; however, his 6l Irish point win in April 2022 bodes well for his prospects over fences; market may guide. |

24th Aug 2022 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Joined Donald McCain after Irish point win in April but has made a low-key start to his rules career and riding arrangements suggest Largy Reach is the stable's main hope here. |

Finished down the field in his four runs last year and was pulled up in a Southwell maiden (2m, good to soft) on return last month; still early days and now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation. |

Won this last year off a 5lb lower mark and he was returning from 192 days off that day, so a break might well have done him good. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Returned to form with 20-1 C&D (good) win in May and also ran very well at Newton Abbot a few weeks later; never going well when pulled up on latest outing (reportedly lost action) and not an easy one to predict here but has possibilities if all goes to plan. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Returned from a break with a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and, although the race didn't go ideally, ran creditably in his follow-up bid off this mark at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) last time; still well handicapped on older form and worth considering with Harry Cobden booked. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Career best when winning by 11l over 2m5f here in January (good to soft) and for whatever reason he didn't turn up at Newbury (2m4f; handles soft); has to bounce back from that but wouldn't put it past him; there are niggling stamina doubts at this trip, however. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
His 24th race over hurdles at Exeter last month (2m5f, good to soft) but produced career-best form in winning that handicap by some 11l; respected off 7lb higher with heavy ground no issue for him. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Placed on both outings since winning in pretty good style at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) on stable debut in April; will be fine over today's trip and won't mind what the weather does; likely contender. |
