12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick in a 2m good-ground handicap at Aintree in June (2lb lower) but was turned over at odds-on back in a novice next time and has twice performed miserably on the Flat since; something to prove now. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Completed a hurdles hat-trick in 2023; failed to beat a rival last month on return from lengthy absence and needs to prove he retains ability; raced mainly over longer trips. |
50/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive hurdler when last seen in 2023, although below best on final start that September; had smart AW form in Group 3 and Listed 1m2f races for Roger Varian earlier and his mark has dropped 8lb since last seen on the Flat; fascinating to see how the betting goes back from absence. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won on his hurdles debut at Musselburgh in March 2023 but no wins since; respectable sixth, on second run back from a seven-month break, at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month in first-time blinkers which are retained; still needs to ease in the weights. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
1m7f hurdle winner (good to soft) who was largely consistent in handicaps last year; bad mistake put paid to his chance on his reappearance at Kempton (2m, good); 2lb drop means he gets a slight ease in grade here; blinkers go on and he could have a big say. |

9th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three 1m Polytrack wins since November, the latest in a small-field C&D claimer six weeks ago; more needed back in a handicap but he's not ruled out; cheekpieces left off today. |

1st 4 (1) |
30th May 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; wore cheekpieces on last five starts, including three good runs (one 1m win) on Chelmsford Polytrack this February-April but below form there on latest outing; made less of an impact early in 2024 on his two runs here; wore a hood earlier in career and it's now restored; considered. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Hard to recommend on recent efforts, but has dropped 7lb lower than when gaining his second C&D success back in February; worth a second look with a visor given a try, especially if attracting support. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in February but he's not fired in three starts since July and seems out of sorts at present; only of interest with market support. |
25/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
This year's win was on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in February and he's 2lb lower today, having gone off the boil in his two runs this summer; has never won beyond 1m4f and he last ran on ground softer than good in 2021. |

9th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who has been tried over a variety of distances; steps up in trip here but hard to fancy. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has form over a variety of distances, so stepping back up from 1m seems unlikely to be an issue; however, he's one of several longstanding maidens in the field. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

31-race maiden; has been placed nine times and is on a good mark; well beaten after a break when tried at 1m4f last time; may fare better down in trip but hard to fancy. |

Enjoyed a good autumn for Noel Kelly with wins at Punchestown and Sligo; good Ayr second in December when last seen and now reappears for new yard; trip/ground okay and market could prove best guide. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
10yo who snapped a losing sequence at Carlisle last June and reappeared with a good second here (1m6f, good) last month; she should be fine back up in trip and can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner at up to this trip on varying ground, including soft; back on the same mark she scored from at Carlisle (1m6f, soft) in June; chance rests on whether she's ready to roll for this reappearance. |
8/1 |
|
10th 2 (1) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m6f on varying ground, including soft; 1lb higher than her latest success at Carlisle in June; thereabouts over 1m6f (good) here latest but still has to prove she fully sees out this longer trip. |
11/4 |
