2nd 5 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won this last year off a 5lb lower mark and he was returning from 192 days off that day, so a break might well have done him good. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 |
7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Returned to form with 20-1 C&D (good) win in May and also ran very well at Newton Abbot a few weeks later; never going well when pulled up on latest outing (reportedly lost action) and not an easy one to predict here but has possibilities if all goes to plan. |
12/1 |

4 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Returned from a break with a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and, although the race didn't go ideally, ran creditably in his follow-up bid off this mark at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) last time; still well handicapped on older form and worth considering with Harry Cobden booked. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Looked as good as ever when clearcut winner at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July and was placed off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) soon afterwards; had another wind op during 82-day break; won't be far away if still in good form. |

3rd 3 |
17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner who recorded her third hurdle win when justifying support on rain-softened ground at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; up 5lb but that latest form looks solid and all of her hurdle wins have come under Jack Tudor; respected. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |

Two hurdle wins last season (2m5f/2m3f); often gives her running but well beaten at Worcester last month and 5lb above her most recent winning mark; would need considering if the ground were to ease. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tailed off at Southwell last time which was too bad to be true as does have form there; he's won twice here and ran well over C&D in December behind one who scored impressively last week; considered under Oisin Murphy. |
11/4 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Won at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November and also successful on AW in January; unseated early when an 8-1 chance for his return to hurdling at Statford (Supreme Yeats runner-up in that race). |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent 7yo who has modest 1-21 strike-rate and needs to rebound from a heavy defeat last month; competes off career-low mark here but needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
5th 11 |
26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |

Inconsistent but wasn't beaten far when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) and then fell early at Ffos Las (4-1); should be in the mix. |
4/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

0-5 over fences and not very consistent but wasn't beaten far when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last month and remains on career-low mark for this first venture beyond that trip. |

11st 4lb |
1-28 under rules, his win coming over fences off this mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last July; has been off since October and needs to hit the ground running. |
8/1 |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Rallied well to win small-field C&D (good) chase off today's mark in July and reverts to fences after perfectly respectable hurdle run from out of the weights here last month; likely contender. |

6th 11 |
31st May 2023 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-6 in points and she's not shown much in her four hurdle runs including in a Stratford handicap (2m, good to soft) last month; can only be watched until she shows some promising signs. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
11-race maiden but he's dropped some way in the weights and was close up when he fell two out at Exeter (2m, good) in March; tongue-tie is now added after a short break and he could be dangerous. |
9/2 |

10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Maiden; the medium of strong market support at Taunton last month but was pulled up; worth noting to see if the money returns but others safer. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Bath/fast ground specialist who wasn't too far away from landing a fifth win at that track when runner-up (1m2f) last Wednesday on his return from a break; effective elsewhere too and should go well. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Four-time C&D winner who returns here off a workable mark; on the downside, he's been absent for four months and doesn't have a convincing record when fresh. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Got off the mark at the 15th attempt over hurdles at Stratford (2m, good) 16 days ago; 5lb rise will make it tougher but looks sure to run his race and unlikely to be far away. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Close third on hurdle debut for Gordon Elliott at Perth (2m4f, good) last summer but he's been pulled up in three of his four runs for new yard this year, including in his last two handicaps; dropped another 5lb but has a lot to prove. |
33/1 |

6 |
20th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Close third on hurdle debut for Gordon Elliott at Perth (2m4f, good) last summer but this year's form for Seamus Mullins has been very underwhelming; drops back in trip after racing too freely in two handicaps last month (3m1f/3m2f); needs to turn a corner. |

10st 10lb |
Returns from 390 days off and he's still a maiden (0-9); ran perfectly well in his final two races last spring (the latest here in first-time tongue-tie) but is entitled to need this after so long off. |
6/1 |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden who returns from 382 days off but he finished a creditable third on good ground at Warwick (2m3f maiden) and Uttoxeter (2m handicap) in his final two runs last spring; yard is in good form and he needs watching in market on his comeback. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Just 1-17 over hurdles but returned from break with fairly good second at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last month, albeit no threat to a handicap blot; will be fine over today's longer trip; high on the list. |
