27th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Progressive 6yo who just did enough at Perth (2m, good) in July and has now won three chases this year (one was on soft ground); didn't fire at Newton Abbot last month but remains of interest. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Progress as a hurdler has flatlined, but he's 5lb below his highest winning mark on Tapeta, and although yet to record an RPR above 56 in four Flat turf starts this is easier than any of those; cheekpieces added. |
25/1 |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Travelled strongly when third of six on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June and he won over staying trips on the Flat which suggests he may have potential at this distance; however, he has to bounce back from two below-par runs over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good); unraced on slow turf. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Two of his five wins over hurdles have been over C&D; has a decent record fresh and made a solid return when runner-up over C&D (good) last month; 5lb higher than his last winning mark though and a career-best is required. |
4/1 |

2nd 6 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Made all in this race a year ago, after a seven-month break, and showed career-best form when scoring at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in the autumn; returns from latest break on a tough mark but no surprise if he gives this a good shot. |

7th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Well beaten in both outings (hurdle/chase) for new yard this term, taking record to 0-13; has only one piece of placed form; treated as far from solid, unless the betting suggests better is expected. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Unable to justify strong market support when well beaten on stable debut three weeks ago and now 0-10 over hurdles; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces for this chasing debut; may yet come good. |
9/1 |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Placed just once (2m, good) in 11 starts at up to 3m when with Michael Scudamore; returns from a break for new trainer, needing to improve on his last few efforts to have a winning chance. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing run at Cartmel, but was only beaten just over 3l when third over C&D (good to soft) on stable debut in April, despite clouting the penultimate fence; has possibilities if handling today's faster ground. |
4/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Only seen twice since making all in a 2m4f open point under Imogen Mathias one year ago, and would have run the winner closer than around 3l at Newton Abbot latest (2m5f, good to soft) but for whacking two out; 1lb rise is very fair. |

12th Jun 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Had regressed since winning three times on the Flat in 2020 and was unable to land a blow in Market Rasen maiden hurdle on stable debut in April but makes his handicap hurdle debut off a lowly mark and with cheekpieces refitted; no surprise if he gets a bit more competitive this time. |
