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. |

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. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Resumed with victory at Exeter (2m3f) in November and in good form until pulled up in 2m3f handicap chase at Fontwell ten days ago; this course winner is the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear, though. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Did well for cheekpieces going on last year, winning three times at 2m3f-2m5f, latterly off 3lb lower, and going a stone and a half up the weights; 2m7f looked to find him out at Newbury last month and this is less competitive back down in trip; holds decent claims. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

All good since the cheekpieces went on, winning three times (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); kept on well for third off today's mark at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) last month and returning to further looks the right move. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Ex-Dan Skelton; started off for Sophie Leech with two disappointing French hurdle runs this summer (wore cheekpieces) but caused a 50-1 shock when back over fences at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft; blinkers) last month; subsequent 4lb rise is not insurmountable if he's in the same form. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Last win for the Skeltons was off this mark last December (1m7f, soft) but he's offered little since, including in two French hurdles for current yard. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner last season (once over C&D) but was pulled up on reappearance outing in October and has largely been disappointing over fences since (five starts); seems very versatile regarding ground but reverts to hurdling with quite a bit to prove; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won two staying handicap hurdles last winter, on good to soft and heavy; hasn't reached the same heights this season (sent chasing for last four runs) but the upside is that he's back on a very good mark. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-8 over fences and 0-16 overall but went close on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November and bumped into a big improver when well-held second at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in December; this right-handed track may not be ideal (jumped left at Taunton last season) but, otherwise, his claims are pretty solid; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

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

0-6 over fences but was placed twice over C&D towards end of last season, latterly when staying on for clear second behind an improver (soft ground); contender if in same form again after seven-month absence. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
11-race maiden with inconsistent overall form but his three completions at Ffos Las (3m in the mud on last two occasions) were among his best ratings; fell back here on latest outing; needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark but he's considered each-way. |

12st 0lb |
Well treated on 2024 winning form for Olly Murphy; last-time 11l fourth at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) rates a best for his current yard, but he can't afford to repeat that day's constant jumping right. |

Dual 2m4f chase winner on testing ground; well treated on his form of 12 months ago when with Olly Murphy; needs to be much better than in his three starts so far for this trainer; has had wind surgery since last month's Wetherby appearance. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Mark and ground both fine, but have to hope confidence hasn't been dented by being brought down two starts back and enduring a rough race on November's chasing debut; unraced over this short since autumn 2024. |
7/1 |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) last spring and was also narrowly successful at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in November; should appreciate the return to this sort of trip and a new headgear combination is given a go but he could do with rain. |
