11th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Useful hurdler; fell on two of his three chasing attempts last season and comes with obvious risk here but proved his wellbeing when placed in competitive handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and has the raw ability to be very dangerous if all goes to plan. |

Winless since 2022 and he beat only one in 2m Taunton handicap chase 23 days ago on his second run after a long absence; has a bit to prove now. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
If the ground is bordering on good then this 8yo could take some beating as he hosed up at Warwick last month (3m, good) on his second run after a break; the 8lb rise isn't the end of the world. |

1st 8 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Following a break he reverted to fences at Kempton (3m) 12 days ago and returned to form with a 3l second on his favoured good ground; that performance reads well and he's high on the list today. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Can go well fresh; returns from a break on a favourable mark, just 1lb higher than his latest chase win, at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; bled from the nose when tailed off over hurdles in October so wellbeing unknown but has possibilities, especially if the ground is good. |

3rd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 9yo; returned from layoff with good second at Chepstow (2m, good) in April but was tailed off at Worcester in August, after another break, and needs to put that performance behind him. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Low-mileage 9yo; back over hurdles when second of nine at Chepstow (2m, good), but was finding it hard work when falling at Warwick in early May; this is a drop in grade, though. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He's now 5lb lower than when winning at Newbury (2m, soft) last February; however, this season's form has been patchy and today's trip may stretch him; major turnaround needed with blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |
7/2 |

4th 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Returning from an absence when edging home in this 12 months ago off 2lb higher; his penultimate effort (here in first-time cheekpieces) was respectable and it's perhaps best to forget Sandown last time when his best form has been on left-handed tracks; respected. |
12/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Raced mainly on left-handed tracks; gained two of his three chase wins at Newbury; ran respectably with cheekpieces added there last time; capable of being involved but has a question mark over the course. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Out of form earlier in the year and offered little when fitted with blinkers on last month's reappearance; cheekpieces the chosen headgear here and, although he's become well handicapped, he has plenty to prove. |

21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on some of his 2022-23 season form but ended last year with two poor efforts and was soundly beaten on both outings this spring; blinkered for this first attempt beyond 2m5f; revival needed. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance. |
12/1 |

4th 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and took his form to another new level when battling on well to score at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) eight days ago; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is not out of the question. |

8th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Easy win on his handicap and seasonal debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in October and readily followed up off the same mark at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) eight days later, when forced to switch; hit with 12lb rise but could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

Displayed significant improvement on seasonal/handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) eight days ago, drawing clear to win quite comfortably by 10l; escapes a penalty here and commands respect. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season (once here) but was pulled up on final two starts for him and failed to build upon his satisfactory stable debut when tailed-off third in small-field contest last month (first-time blinkers); sports refitted cheekpieces here; has a point to prove. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 |
14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season (2m3f/2m5f); left that stable after two disappointing runs in the winter but was respectable fourth for new stable at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May and has possibilities if aided by first-time blinkers here. |
9/4 |

4th 4 |
25th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season, over C&D (good) last May and in first-time cheekpieces at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in December; pulled up on consecutive outings in the winter but is back on much better ground for this stable debut and it will be very interesting to see what Anthony Honeyball can do with him. |
