4th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to trouble the judge in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien but more positive signs for her new stable when 2l second of 12 at Southwell (1m3f) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 11 days ago; one to consider from an unchanged mark. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) off this mark in December; beaten 2l when fourth of seven there nine days ago, despite failing to settle, and there's no reason to suggest he won't go well. |
9/2 |

4th 4 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent veteran who made the frame on his last six appearances and is now back on same mark as for C&D win in December; likely to be on the premises. |

Dual trip winner on turf for Roger Charlton; missed all of last year and has been hit and miss since returning; well held of late. |

6th 7 (1) |
8th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Missed all of last year and has a very mixed record since returning in January; weakened into well-held sixth when joint-favourite at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month; others appeal more. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
8-59, although his last win came in a two-runner affair at Carlisle (2m1f; 2-5 favourite; all out) in December 2023; latest Carlisle sixth (beaten 15l; 50-1) not overly inspiring; others more obvious. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has won six times over hurdles, the latest a two-runner affair over C&D (good to soft) in December 2023; a couple of fair runs for this yard last year but pulled up when last seen out in January (reportedly never travelling); others appeal more. |
20/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
On a long losing spell and form figures of 246 this term reflect that a turnaround of sorts is required; admittedly appears well treated if that resurgence materialises, being 7lb below last winning mark. |

4th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Close third in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in January but he's not matched that form in a variety of headgear since and was only fifth of six at Newcastle last time; has something to prove again and this 11yo has not won since November 2021. |

17th Mar 2023 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hinted at ability in three outings on turf/Tapeta in late 2022, but little to shout about in three Flat starts and a hurdle so far this year (visored last time); hopes pinned on the step up to 2m unlocking some improvement. |
20/1 |
