29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Remains a maiden and is 0-13 over fences, but she's finished runner-up from 2m3f to 3m in her last five appearances and surely her turn will come; races prominently and jumps soundly enough; tries cheekpieces. |
5/2 |

2nd 5 |
19th Jul 2023 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Has yet to win in 20 attempts (12 chasing) but she's consistent enough and has been knocking on the door for a while; races prominently. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
28th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
11yo maiden who has been knocking on the door in recent chasing efforts; often makes the running and, though she isn't likely to improve now, is more likely to be involved than many of these. |

19th Jul 2023 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
14-race maiden who has threatened a breakthrough win but doesn't appear to be improving; beaten 12l in the new visor last time at Worcester (2m4f) and this longer trip isn't sure to benefit. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
28th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Maiden; runner-up four times over hurdles and similar efforts in two chase attempts at Huntingdon at the end of last month; visor probably needs to provoke some improvement if he's to win this; often well backed. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Veteran who had poor completion record in points last season and was easily brushed aside after making the running on rules return at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in November; revival needed. |

Multiple hurdle winner at up to 2m3f; acts on a sound surface; 0-11 over fences; below par on her recent reappearance but not ruled out each-way if she comes on for that. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close in 16-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July, her second run since returning to racing under rules; below that form when well-held fourth over C&D since but has cheekpieces refitted today; can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Made low-key return to racing under rules in June but last month's close second of 16 behind Cinderello in refitted cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was a good effort; goes without cheekpieces here but still features prominently in calculations. |
7/2 |

2nd 10 |
16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Runner-up in four consecutive points this year; made low-key rules return/stable debut three weeks ago (2m4f) but will be suited by today's move back up in trip, and the refitted cheekpieces may also aid her cause. |

9th Jul 2023 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

28th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Maiden; runner-up twice over hurdles in Ireland but hasn't produced a great deal in four British starts (for John Mackie), the latest in a chase; better required on stable debut if he's to figure. |

13th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-9 over hurdles; stuck to his task pretty well when sixth over 2m4f ten weeks ago and ought to be suited by today's move back up in trip, but others have more pressing claims. |

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

28th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Tailed off in three hurdles at the start of 2021; absent until last month's chasing debut here (2m+) when attracting support; pulled hard and was pulled up when long way behind; no surprise to see a hood back on; tongue-strap also fitted; interesting to see if the money returns. |

27th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Tailed off in three hurdles at the start of 2021 and absent since; chasing/handicap debut and 9lb out of the weights; would need to see market support to offer hope; due to run 5.40 Worcester on Friday. |
16/1 |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled to get competitive at huge odds in three slow-ground novice hurdles in early 2021; makes chase/handicap debut after 841-day absence and from 4lb out of the weights but market support will arouse interest. |
