19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft); well beaten here last month, after a layoff, and Miss Maverick is unlikely to allow him an uncontested lead today but, nevertheless, his course record can't be ignored. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft), including the last two editions of this race; absent since poor Flat run in October but there's a good chance he'll be primed to make a bold bid from the front today. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner (good to soft); returns to this code after a successful spell over hurdles; was below par when seen here (1m6f, good to firm) in June but it would be no surprise to see him closely involved now on slower ground, back up in trip and from 2lb lower. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well. |

Hurdle (including C&D) and chase winner here and won a chase over the equivalent trip here latest, when on the same mark; well treated if able to translate that form back to this sphere; big player. |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
0-7 on the Flat and 0-5 as a jumper; ran okay when first-time visored in a selling handicap two runs ago but then finished tailed off at Worcester; worth a go in blinkers as when tried once before he was under 5l away on the Flat. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden; well held when third at Cartmel on handicap debut five weeks ago (in a visor, retained); that was a seller but it still represented a step forward; could be involved. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Showed no more than minor promise in three juvenile hurdles during the winter but ran okay on the Flat this month (first-time cheekpieces) and now makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark; tried in a visor this time; no surprise if he features. |

Lightly raced but well held in two handicaps, the latest a 2m1f seller; unraced beyond that trip and there's stamina in the pedigree, so could show more this time. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Unexposed after only four hurdle runs but was tailed off when 22-1 for recent handicap debut; needs combination of better ground and first-time cheekpieces to enable significant improvement here. |

Unexposed mare who posted her most encouraging of three qualifying runs when sixth at Stratford (2m, good to soft) last month; should have further improvement to come; one to consider. |

Placed off 11lb higher on handicap hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m, good) just over a year ago but returned from layoff with two down-the-field runs this spring and needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces here. |

6th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 10yo who ended 2023 with two disappointing chase runs for Ewan Whillans; might have been refreshed by combination of subsequent 172-day break and change of scenery, though, and market support will bring him into the equation; 2lb wrong; cheekpieces/tongue-tie removed. |

18th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |

Some respectable efforts at around 2m this autumn but he took his losing run to 23 when well held at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) 20 days ago; bit to prove again after that and he goes into unknown territory at this trip. |

10st 11lb |
Fair on the Flat but yet to make an impact over hurdles; brushed aside fairly easily after leading on final circuit at Plumpton (2m, good; refitted blinkers) this month; will need to show more tenacity here. |

14th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

Three French Flat wins and he's 0-30 in Britain, though placed on many occasions; shaped quite well on hurdling debut but twice tailed off since; risky but opening mark of 83 would look lenient if showing his best. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

20th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Has a patchy record and was disappointing back over hurdles at Market Rasen on Boxing Day but he won a 1m6f handicap (off 3lb lower) at Wolverhampton on his penultimate run; that was a convincing win under a positive ride and he's a key player if he can match that back in this sphere. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner, most recently in this race a year ago; lost his way a bit afterwards and, following a layoff, was no match for the easy winner when second of five in this grade at Fakenham (2m, good) three weeks ago; however, still makes more appeal than most of these. |
