17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Doubled his hurdling tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July and is now only 2lb above that mark but has become inconsistent this year and others in this line-up appeal more. |
16/1 |

6th 6 |
24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Would have won easier at Worcester (2m4f, good) but for some premature easing on the run-in but he went out like a light next time at Uttoxeter; usually consistent in the main and could bounce back from that. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 |
30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Generally consistent and gained a second hurdle success when overcoming premature easing at Worcester last month; 4lb higher and this looks potentially more competitive but he has to be considered again. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden but bang there in two 2m5f handicaps at Fontwell (good to soft; in cheekpieces) before struggling there last time on heavy (first-time visor); can be given another chance; 2lb wrong but a 3lb claimer takes over. |
16/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-15 over hurdles but was creditable second at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in March and caught the eye making headway from the rear on consecutive 2m7f starts in June/July; 1lb wrong here but could have a say. |
8/1 |

6th 13 |
16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-14 over hurdles but hasn't been with Neil Mulholland all that long and caught the eye making smooth headway from the rear at Bangor (2m7f, good; finished fourth) last month; could have a say. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
13-race maiden who was a fair fourth over fences at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month but improvement is needed to get off the mark in this. |
20/1 |
|
5th 10 |
26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
A maiden after 12 starts but came second in 2m4f chase here last summer (good) and also ran well when upped to 3m at Uttoxeter (good) three weeks ago; makes more appeal than some of these. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
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 |
11st 2lb |
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. |

10th Sep 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Returned from long layoff with 2m4f handicap wins at Worcester and Plumpton last year (both on good ground) but, following another break, has been soundly beaten on both outings this year; needs to turn things around. |
6/1 |
|
5th 7 |
20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Back from a long absence when winning over C&D a year ago; followed up at Plumpton two months later but seen only once since, when tailed off at Southwell in May; could leave that behind, especially if backed. |
10/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Didn't run badly in a low-grade Flat marathon last month but he ended the last jumps season with two disappointing runs (both 2m4f) and has a bit more to prove than some of these. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well beaten over hurdles on his last two starts but hasn't run badly on his last two Flat outings (1m4f/2m, AW) and his trainer has won two of the last six runnings of this race; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Scored twice over hurdles (at about 2m4f) in 2024-25 but has failed to fire this term and beat just two in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap hurdle ten days ago; others appeal more. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
No issues with trip or good ground judged on such as last September's Kelso win; ordinary strike-rate of 2-17 over hurdles but most consistent if last month's Worcester 55l seventh is overlooked (lost a shoe). |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 |
20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Shaped as if the run was needed when third at Stratford, on return from nine months off; most consistent last year and every reason to expect him to put in a good shift again. |
5/1 |

21st Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed six consecutive times (twice on the Flat) last summer/autumn, most notably when winning off 3lb lower at Kelso (2m2f, good) on penultimate appearance; respectable return to action at Stratford yesterday. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Best caught at this time of year, having won points on Exmoor in late May 2024 (good) and again 24 days ago (good to firm); reproduction of the form of her Cheltenham hunter chase run won't suffice, however. |
10/1 |
