29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form under both codes last year included a 1m4f course win; quiet return to jumping at Cartmel two weeks ago but that was after a lengthy break and he's on better Flat mark than he is over hurdles. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best. |

22nd Jan 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well beaten in 2m Chepstow handicap in October, after a long absence, and did not achieve a great deal when remote second in a seller over that trip here the following month (first-time cheekpieces); revival needed. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Belied 33-1 odds when placed at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in June, his fourth start for Seamus Mullins, but didn't fire over that C&D on latest outing and is now 0-11 over hurdles. |

24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who's had 14 races; penultimate start was one of his better efforts, when third of eight over C&D, and he was not disgraced in blinkers when trying 3m2f on latest; place hopes. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat in May but was safely held on both hurdling starts this year (both in 2m handicaps in July) and reverts to this code after a very poor Flat run last month; stablemate Chillhi looks a safer option. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Had a good run of form in 1m2f-1m5f handicaps (1423) before tailed off in his last two hurdle races and he's a dual winner in that scene; some wellbeing concerns all of a sudden. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won twice over hurdles in the autumn (2m4f/2m7f) and has been in good form on the Flat in recent weeks but was well beaten when back over hurdles on Saturday (2m; raced too freely) and has a point to prove here. |

11st 12lb |
Punchestown maiden hurdle winner rated 130 in that sphere although well held the last twice, too keen and looking a tricky ride at same venue on latest; now sent chasing and encounters quickest ground so far. |

29th Nov 2022 Yielding 2m 0f 57y |

C&D maiden hurdle winner in January: beaten when falling two out in a Grade 2 novice next time; return at Sligo last month looked too bad to be true; poor fourth, 23l behind Tax For Max then |
