20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (July and October); missed 2024 and ran over fences on both starts for new yard this year, not disgraced on first occasion but tailed off on heavy latest; has a good mark if he's straight back to his peak returned to hurdles. |

25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |

Signs of retaining ability, while seeming to need the run, at Ludlow (3m) this month on stable/seasonal debut and second chase attempt; may step up on that effort; nicely handicapped on best hurdles form. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Pulled up in June 2023 on sole chase start and absent since that November; however, he's on a handy mark on his best hurdle form for Peter Bowen and he's one to watch in the betting on his stable debut. |

13th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good with clearcut win at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) in June and was very close second in quite valuable contest at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; good claims if judged on that evidence but needs to bounce back from a poor run a fortnight ago. |

11st 9lb |
Won here (2m5f, good) in 2022 and returns here after three good efforts this spring (2m4f-3m1f, good); still on a workable mark and enters calculations; seems best on good ground but handles good to soft. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Hasn't won since October 2022 but plenty of sound placed efforts last season and again when second off this mark at Warwick last month (3m1f, good; fourth has since won over this C&D); contender. |

11th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Dual hurdle winner on good ground; placed on both starts last summer (2m7f/2m4f) and returned from break with another good effort last month; could still have untapped potential over this sort of trip and can make his presence felt again. |

Has run well in both starts since joining this stable, the first of them when second to Fenna's Loss over C&D in June; possibly needs a shade more for another win but likelier than some to give it a good shot. |

22nd Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Signed off for Neil Mulholland with some below-par efforts in the spring but gave good account when clear second to Fenna's Lass on stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; still unexposed over this sort of trip; a possible if in similar form again here. |

6-17 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in May; very respectable fifth off today's career-high mark in competitive race at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) in July; probably won't be far away. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Splendid old-timer who has won both confined novice (2019) and grassroots (2025) incarnations of this race (each on good); always held by a match-fit and five-years younger rival on this month's seasonal return, albeit beaten just 2l; likely to be spot on for his title defence. |

30th May 2025 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 2 |

Stratford record of P3322 includes a John Corbet third to Law Of Gold in 2019; no doubting his appetite for the game remains judged on scores in a Howick open and (latest) the Dunraven Bowl at Chepstow, but he'd be the oldest winner of this race since 15-year-old Otter Way in 1983. |

10yo who has done well since switched back to hurdling and she made it three wins from her last four starts when scoring at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but she won going away last time and still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Won two in a row at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last autumn and she didn't run badly here (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago when returning from some time off; could build on that latest performance; showed promise early in career on sole encounter with soft ground. |

12st 0lb |
A dual hurdle winner for Milton Harris; well beaten on the Flat on first two starts for this stable in June and only made a satisfactory start to his chasing career when a well-held third at Plumpton (2m1f, good; second has won since) last month; has a fitness edge over some and not ruled out with that experience behind him, off 5lb lower. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat but has scored over 2m and 2m4f as a hurdler; his significant Flat form was in 2022 and he was tailed off on recent return to Flat for new yard after eight months off; others have more pressing claims. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |

Career best when winning at Hexham (1m7f) in May, his third success over fences, all at about 2m; didn't match that despite finishing second next time but it was a solid return, back from a small break, when keeping on for fourth of seven at Market Rasen (2m1f, also good) 19 days ago; has weakened over this trip and beyond before but it looks worth exploring again. |

C&D winner who produced a career best at Hexham (1m7f, good) in May when landing his third chase win but well-held when second of five finishers at Perth (2m, good) in June; consistent sort who may have benefitted from the short break and is not out of this. |
