9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored over C&D in October and he got back on track when second of 12 in 1m4f Pontefract handicap last month; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |

2nd 4 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Caused 28-1 surprise on soft ground at Leiester (1m4f) in the autumn but was below that form on his two AW starts in February (wore cheekpieces) and is too inconsistent to rely upon; no headgear today. |

23rd May 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won on the AW for Joseph Parr in the autumn (1m2f; RPR 70) and also ran well on both recent AW starts for new stable; has very uninspiring record on turf but, nevertheless, enters calculations on hurdling debut. |

2nd May 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Can pull hard; won off 7lb lower over 1m2f here for Joseph Parr last season; met trouble in running when good second off this mark over 1m4f on reappearance/stable debut at Wolverhampton; well worth considering. |

12th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Both wins in Ireland, a 7f AW handicap and a maiden hurdle on good; up and down in ten runs for this yard but was bang there in the latest at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); hard to rule out. |

10st 12lb |
Belied 50-1 odds when very respectable fourth over C&D (good) 11 days ago and is 1lb lower now but her record in Britain is very mixed and others in this line-up are more persuasive. |

9st 9lb |
Has form figures of 2121 in 1m6f/2m contests on AW, the latest performance here two weeks ago when taking his record under George Eddery to 2-4; not fully exposed beyond 1m4f; very solid claims. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark. |
3/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ordinary form on the AW during the winter but he is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last August; off since February but he's respected back here on this return. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Back in good form this spring (placed three times) and didn't run badly when fifth on latest outing three weeks ago, but there are still more obvious options than this high-mileage 7yo. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won four times over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien, the latest a selling handicap off 1lb lower; solid efforts in three Southwell handicaps (2m-2m4f) for this yard and unlikely to be far away. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five wins at up to 1m4f but last three have been on AW and last turf win was 2022; finished placed twice on AW this season but he was last of five over C&D last month and was beaten 12l on that stable debut; opposable. |

Five-time winner; picked off by late arrivals at Chelmsford (1m2f) earlier this month and a day later changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales; could have further wins in him. |
