19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit. |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Has won four handicaps since last July - three chases (one here) and a hurdle race; needs to bounce back from two quiet runs over fences but there's nothing wrong with his mark over hurdles; stable won this last year. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner, latterly on good ground last April; her infrequent going days are difficult to foretell, though, and she was soundly beaten here (2m2f) ten days ago; 1lb out of the weights. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed. |
20/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid. |

14th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Four-time chase winner in France but his last success was in 2019 and he's been generally very disappointing in Britain; on reduced mark but he was a remote third at Perth two weeks ago and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time chase winner in France but generally very disappointing in Britain; unlucky to come to grief after first fence at Cartmel last month (first-time blinkers) and Brian Hughes is booked again here but he's 4lb out of the weights and remains difficult to enthuse over. |
25/1 |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Four French wins (up to 2019) but 0-15 in Britain and some way behind two of today's rivals over C&D last month; Brian Hughes back on board and blinkers the latest aid to be fitted but too many doubts. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |

Went up 40lb for winning six handicap chases last season (also won twice over hurdles); below par in three runs this season; needs to bounce back after a 139-day break. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

16th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

Hurdles winner who has finished runner-up in three of his five completed starts over fences, including when beaten a neck at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago (clear of the third); 4lb rise not the end of the world, though he still has to prove himself on soft ground or worse. |

11th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |

Pulled up in his last three hurdles and has bled; this winning pointer could be a better chaser but he's risky and blinkers are turned to. |

20th Jun 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Winning pointer in Ireland last spring but pulled up, having bled from the nose, in his latest two maiden hurdles for this yard; very shaky after that; handicap debut. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |

Ex-Oliver Greenall; wasn't in the best of form when last seen out (on unsuitable soft ground) late last year; can do better on this ground particularly as 14lb lower than for last win (2m4f on good to firm at Ludlow in 2022). |

11st 6lb |
Two wins this summer, the latest off 6lb lower at Worcester four weeks ago; goes well for Will Featherstone, whose 10lb claim should again prove useful, and appears much better when able to lead; acts on good and soft. |

1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Benefited from the return to front-running tactics when comfortably winning at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in June and fell mid-race on his return visit; only 7lb higher than for that win and needs respecting. |

11th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |

Returning to front-running tactics did the trick when comfortably beating Lonimoss Bareliere over C&D (soft) 19 days ago; a 7lb rise could have been worse and Will Featherstone rides again. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Six-time chase winner whose form dipped in May/June and he fared little better over hurdles three weeks ago; should be sharper for that now back over fences but needs to find some spark. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner (once here); competes off lower mark on this rare hurdling start but was not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring and needs to have been refreshed by three-month break. |
