19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue. |
9/2 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

None too consistent but he has won five times over fences and nearly made that six last time at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft); he's handicapped about right but needs considering. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |

Five-time chase winner, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; remote when third at Huntingdon eight days ago and not one to rely upon nowadays but he's still on a good mark if in the right mood. |

Regressive 10yo who struggled to get competitive on first two appearance this season (one over C&D on good); tried in first-time cheekpieces on this first start for 98 days; needs to prove some ability remains. |

26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Irish point winner; modest hurdler and limitations already looking exposed as a chaser, for all that she ran better in the cheekpieces at Lingfield (2m7f, good); perhaps vulnerable once more. |

4th 7 |
20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |

Irish point winner but she's yet to finish placed under rules and has struggled switched to fences (tailed off/pulled up) in her last two runs; dropped another 5lb but has plenty to prove with cheekpieces now tried. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Won over hurdles on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November and ran well for a long way when fifth on last month's chasing debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers); didn't look to be going that well before falling at Ffos Las recently but still has low mileage and enters calculations; cheekpieces back on today. |

Came good over hurdles on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November and ran well for a long way when fifth on last month's chasing debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers); still has low mileage; shortlisted. |

Returned after wind surgery with a hurdle win at Bangor (2m7f, soft; off 5lb lower) in November but he failed to back that up when tailed off at Ffos Las last month; still lightly raced but has something to prove again on this switch to fences; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed off 4lb higher on chasing debut at Leicester (2m6f, good) in early 2023 and won over hurdles in good style last summer; good claims on that evidence but was well beaten on last two hurdling starts, having bled from the nose both times, and comes with risk. |

18th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark (12th attempt) with an emphatic win at Southwell (2m4f, good) last summer but she bled from the nose when tailed off at Worcester in September; has had a break since but she doesn't have a great record fresh. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won over hurdles (3m, good) in Ireland in May 2021 but he's struggled over fences for new yard this season and he unseated early 14 days ago; now 1-23 and it's not hard to look elsewhere. |

Won over hurdles in Ireland in spring 2021 but has struggled to get seriously competitive over fences for new stable this season (four runs), and the refitted cheekpieces didn't appear to help much last time. |

10st 11lb |
Without a win since 2023 but was placed in three chases last season and continues to edge down the weights; beaten about 20l when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) on latest outing in March but this slightly shorter trip may suit him better; considered each-way. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Last win was off 14lb higher at Carlisle (3m, soft) but that was almost two years ago; has form figures of P9PP0 in his last five runs including a tailed-off effort back at Carlisle recently and can only be watched. |

6th Feb 2023 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |

26th Dec 2022 Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |

Dual chase winner for Suzy Smith in 2021; returned from 881-day absence with heavy defeat over hurdles here (3m2f, good) for new stable three weeks ago but ran well to a point and may benefit from this drop back in trip; 2lb wrong but worth a second look. |

Dual chase winner in the spring of 2021 but he'd lost his form when last seen in November 2023; impossible to predict what this stable debut will produce but he's on a dangerous mark and the market should give firm indications. |

Has won two small-field mares chases at Leicester (2m4f, good; by 3l from Auditoria) and Wincanton (2m4f, good; Auditoria third) on last two starts; still feasibly treated and has a chance. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Plenty to find with Methodtothemagic on Leicester form in February (2m6f, good) but has done better since returned to 2m4f on last two starts, making all at Leicester and Wincanton (good/good to soft); has a stamina query beyond that trip. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser at up to 3m2f and he was pulled up in this sphere at Plumpton (2m3f, soft; 50-1) on his stable debut in December; out of the weights again and he's easy to oppose. |

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser for Diana Grissell last term; he returns after seven months off for his new yard from 9lb out of the handicap so others are preferred. |
