27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Absent since December but that was a good run at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) and he has competitive form here on good ground; one to consider. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Ended a long losing sequence in 2m4f handicap here eight days ago; scored comfortably so he's not taken lightly under a 7lb penalty. |

Placed on last three of four starts since returning from long absence this summer, most recently when close second at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month; likely contender again. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |
3/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Sole win came in the summer of 2023, over 2m4f on good ground; chasing never went to plan two seasons ago but he ran well back over hurdles on final sighting in late 2024; what form he'll be in after an absence is anyone's guess, so best to let the betting guide; tongue-tie added. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has won four chases, the latest off 1lb lower at Hexham last June (1m7f, good); good second following a break at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good); should go well again. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Hexham (2m, good; in added blinkers) last June; that was in a lower-grade contest (Class 4) and his productivity ebbed away thereafter (0-5; hurdles and fences); bit to prove off a 190-day absence; likely to draw benefit from this comeback run. |

Not firing on all cylinders this year but handicapped accordingly now and has been placed twice this month; suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

Quite useful in his prime but has dropped a long way down the weights over the last year or so and did not look poised to capitalise when safely held at Market Rasen (a track he likes) on Saturday. |

Inconsistent last season and tailed off over C&D when last seen; however, he's posted wins over C&D on two of his last four starts (good to soft/good) and can be bang there if at the top of his game on this return. |

Won a Stratford novice (2m, good) last summer but after 486 days off he was pulled up on his handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, soft; weak 18-1 shot) last month; still unexposed in this sphere but that was a laboured effort last time and he is best watched unless market is persuasive. |

Has won two handicap hurdles on good ground and he's shaped a little better the last twice in two handicaps at Sandown (good to soft/soft); not bred for fences but has got himself well treated. |

7th Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |

Has won two handicaps on good ground and there was some sign of a return to form when fourth (behind Mayhem Mya) over C&D 19 days ago when he weakened back into fourth; these conditions should be more suitable. |

23rd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Winner of four small-field hurdles at about 2m1f, on ground ranging from soft to good to firm; the latest one, at Leicester last November was as good as it's got but he ran poorly next time and also when back from a break in March; off again since and guesswork involved for now. |

4-10 over hurdles, the latest win gained in four-runner race at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm) in November; not seen since 60l defeat three months ago but should be fine on today's ground and is unexposed over 2m4f. |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner for Tom George who returned from a long absence with an encouraging third over hurdles on his stable debut at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in December; could build on that and he's one to consider. |

4th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |

Won over hurdles in France for Tom George in spring 2021 and, after a long layoff, outran 50-1 odds when placed for new yard at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in December; still very well handicapped on old form; could have a say. |

29th Jan 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Chase/hurdle winner who only recently returned from a long absence and it was in a higher grade that he finished a 12l third in that Haydock race (2m3f, soft) a month ago; that was encouraging and he's on a dangerous mark. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Displayed huge improvement when sauntering to 12l win at Doncaster (2m, good) in December and put two lesser efforts behind him when staying-on third at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) last month; still unexposed over this trip and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Appeared to display huge improvement when sauntering to 12l win at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; subsequent defeat in major handicap is not viewed harshly but he looked out of sorts at Stratford last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |
