22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Strong stayer who was 4-4 over fences before falling in a valauble handicap chase at Doncaster 14 months ago when running well; on a potentially good mark for this return to hurdling but fully entitled to need this after his period on the sidelines and returning to fences is presumably on the agenda. |

28th Jan 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Made it 4-4 over fences (2m6f-3m2f, good/soft) and under Lilly Pinchin when scoring at Newbury on New Year's Eve; 7lb higher today in a tougher race but he won in convincing fashion last time and could still be ahead of the handicapper; firmly in calculations. |

31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Transformed by the switch to chasing, winning on all three attempts; they were on good ground under Lilly Pinchin, in good style over about 3m on first two occasions and having to work harder to assert over 3m2f at Uttoxeter on latest; raised another 6lb, which demands better still but it's the probably much more testing ground which poses the big question. |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won three times (2m3f-3m1f) when switched to fences last season and kicked off this campaign with respectable efforts in the autumn; struggled when raised in grade and in first-time blinkers at Market Rasen on Boxing Day; returns to hurdling (0-4; once second) off an appealing mark with cheekpieces now tried. |

26th Dec 2022 Soft 3m 3f 123y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Did well when switched to fences last season, winning three times (2m3f-3m1f), and began this campaign with two good runs in the autumn; moves up in grade but is not yet fully exposed and seems versatile regarding ground; contender if aided by first-time blinkers. |

21st Dec 2023 Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |

Triple hurdle winner who has won over fences; however, he looks stuck in a rut right now in both disciplines and now has another change of headgear (has won in cheekpieces). |

16th Nov 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Triple hurdle winner who won over fences at Exeter (3m, good) last November but he's lost his way since and was pulled up at Huntingdon last month; now 2lb lower than for his chase win but he needs to turn things around; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Three-time hurdle winner who won a 3m chase at Exeter (good) last November; soon went downhill afterwards (twice hurdling this summer) and now has questions to answer. |

11st 0lb |
Front-runner who ended last year with an emphatic success in the Borders National at Kelso (4m, soft); looks interesting on that form but he's been pulled up in three subsequent runs and needs a major revival after another break; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who has looked as good as ever for his new stable this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f); probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but reverts to chasing after a respectable hurdle run and is suited by this C&D. |
3/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
12yo who has been better than ever over fences this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft); this is a rare run over hurdles but he has a lower mark in this sphere, in which he scored twice in 2020; likes it here; one to consider. |

2nd 7 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |

Won this in 2024 (soft) and he's been better than ever this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; last time); back up to a career-high mark and he's back up in grade but he could yet have more to offer for this yard; respected. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won this race in 2024 (soft ground) but never really got going last season and was very disappointing favourite in a point last month, after a layoff; now a teenager and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

Now 4lb lower than for his win at Carlisle (3m2f, good) last autumn but he's not completed in any of his four runs Ian Williams and was pulled up here (3m, good) two weeks ago; has a lot to prove. |
