24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer. |

Front-runner who has been consistent this season and ended a long losing streak at Taunton (3m, good to soft) 11 days ago; went up 5lb for that but this track also suits him and he remains unexposed as a stayer. |

10st 8lb |
Won off today's mark over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October 2022; made quite promising seasonal/chase debut at Hereford (2m, good) last month but was not travelling well when brought down at Hereford 19 days ago and his overall record is not compelling. |

Just 1-10 over hurdles but made a quite promising seasonal/chase debut when fourth over C&D (good) this month and can pose a potent threat if that outing has brought him on; 1lb out of the weights. |

10st 7lb |
Put in pretty good front-running shift when third over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago but he's a lot more exposed than some of these, and his two hurdling wins were gained on heavy ground. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Tailed off last time but had appreciated the return to hurdles with a second here (beaten 16l) before a 3l success at Lingfield (2m, heavy); he's able on good to soft ground if he can shrug aside that poor last run. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Badly out of form over fences last season but made all in a five-runner hurdle race at Lingfield (2m, heavy) this month, after a layoff, and remains on a good mark after 3lb rise; unexposed over this sort of trip; big player if able to build on that recent performance. |

0-6 over hurdles and not bred to benefit from today's step up in trip, but made the frame in two 2m5f handicaps last month and has each-way claims if his stamina holds out. |

AW Flat win at 7f and stamina is still a query over hurdles; pulled up over C&D in April (good to soft) and, while return to good ground will suit, some doubts persist about his staying power. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Safely held on handicap debut in January but fared much better when fourth at Huntingdon (2m, good) in February, despite wasting energy by pulling hard in the early stages; can improve again if he learns to settle. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from three-month break with respectable fourth here (2m3f, soft) in March last time and will be fine over this longer trip, but he's not really been firing on all cylinders since last summer; others appeal more. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break. |

Won twice over hurdles in spring 2023 (2m2f, soft/good) and returned from long absence with good second in October (2m2f, heavy); below form after racing too freely last time (2m3f) but remains one to be interested in and this drop back in trip could be a good move on chasing debut. |

Aided by addition of tongue-tie when winning twice over 2m2f towards end of 2022-23 season (soft/good) and, following a long absence, he ran a big race in defeat at Stratford (2m2f, heavy) last month; may still have more improvement to come; leading contender. |

11st 6lb |
Signed off for Gary and Josh Moore with clear second to very progressive rival at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month and has good claims if judged on that performance but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon, and was tailed off on the Flat for new stable this month; headgear switched. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |

Hasn't run on the Flat for nearly two years but is fit from jumping and returned to form at Fontwell last month; picked up since from the Moores for 7,000gns and interesting to see what he can do back in this sphere. |

16th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Last month's C&D fifth (16l ahead of Ray's The One, but beaten 16l himself) represented only a partial return to form; unconvincing on balance, for all a mark 4lb below his last winning one makes appeal. |

Quite useful on the Flat in his prime but unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently pulled up in October 2021; tailed off on Flat the following month and not seen again since; considered only if lively in the betting. |
