18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Appreciated drop to 0-110 grade when second under Amber Jackson-Fennell at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) last month but is not as good as he was and needs change of headgear to give him a boost here. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Useful in his prime but was largely disappointing last season, and suffered 46l defeat at Warwick (2m5f, good) on latest outing five weeks ago; drops in grade again and may benefit from the drop back in trip but needs to turn a corner. |

Has had three wins over hurdles but yet to convince on his suitability for this distance, latest when seventh of eight finishers at Haydock (2m5f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained). |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Record of 1-14 for Henry Daly, the win coming in a 3m handicap chase at Uttoxeter in late 2024 (in first-time blinkers that were retained until now); has lost his way but still only a 7yo and he's on a fair mark for this yard debut; may prefer slower ground, however. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
6yo who won in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) in December on second chase start; however, two lesser runs have followed and he has to raise his game if he's to return to winning ways. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

In a new visor he won two C&D handicaps last August; hit and miss since then but the visor in which he has form figures of 115 now belatedly returns. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

Improving sort beat Rocheval over 2m6f at Kelso last time; ground-versatile and should go well if coping with this shorter trip (has won at 2m); yard has done well at this meeting over the years. |

28th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Promising start to handicap career when fourth at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January where he would have finished closer but for being hampered at the last; looked to be crying out for a stiffer test when outpaced on good ground at Fakenham (2m4f) latest; respected upped to 2m7f. |

Lightly raced 5yo who has shown ability in two of his four starts over hurdles, including when fourth of seven on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m4f, heavy) where he would have finished closer but for being hampered at the last; shortlisted. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made all to open account over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers ten days ago, his 11th start over fences; drew nicely clear of the others with the runner-up that day and was only raised 3lb; could be hard to catch. |
9/4 |

1st 7 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Can make mistakes but mainly consistent over fences for this yard; pulled up at Warwick after an error last time but 2m and ground that was likely faster than good were probably not ideal; that brought his record to 0-18 but he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers back up in trip. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Held up and was never that threatening when beaten just over 7l into fourth at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft); that's two pleasing enough runs since the visor went on and this 17-race maiden has each-way claims. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful form in handicap hurdles at about 2m4f and time might show he had a tough task trying to give plenty of weight to the first two on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in June; major player off the same mark. |
11/4 |

3rd 1 |
18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-6 over hurdles; returned from a break with creditable fourth of 14 in competitive Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good) in April; will be a tough nut to crack in this lower grade if he takes to fences at the first attempt. |
5/2 |
|
4th 13 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up in a Grade 2 in December but it's been a progressive campaign otherwise and was a closing third over 2m6f at Kelso (handicap on good to soft) when last sighted later that month; unlikely that a lack of recent match practice will hold him back here and could be interesting. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won in the autumn on first two chase starts (2m7f, good/good to soft; including here) then failed to stay 4m here in the Borders National; bounced back with short-head defeat at Wetherby (3m, soft) last month and there can be optimism he'll be fine at this shorter distance; major player. |

2nd 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Failed to settle and reportedly made a respiratory noise at Kelso (4m, soft) in December, when he ran well for a very long way before weakening (pulled up); 2-2 over fences previously (2m7f, good/good to soft) and there could still be mileage in his mark now back down in trip. |
