22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Delivered on early hurdling promise when pushed-out winner of Catterick maiden (3m1f, heavy) in February; pulled up (bled from the nose) when favourite for handicap debut the following month but remains open to further improvement if all is well today. |

Improving hurdler who won going away on his second attempt in this sphere at Catterick (3m1f, heavy) latest; initial mark will require another step up but he may be able to make it. |

Bumper runner-up (2m, good) who kept on for eyecatching fifth at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in January on second hurdle start; this half-brother to smart 2m4f-3m performer Black Op is open to further improvement now up in trip, provided the ground suits (unraced on soft/heavy). |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won this race readily by over 9l a year ago (good ground) and was placed over C&D on next two outings; returned from break with two down-the-field runs this summer (cheekpieces added last time) but is back on a good mark now and the return to this track is sure to suit. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Always behind at Market Rasen last month, after a break; she's better than that but all her best form is on sharp right-handed tracks, and she probably doesn't want significant rain; sports new cheekpieces. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Her only win was in a Ludlow mares' handicap in October last year (2m5f, good); fair run at Huntingdon last time (May) but likely to improve for this outing after 100-day break. |

10st 9lb |
Enough in his final two races last year (one here) suggested a return to 2m3f-2m4f is worth a go, having paid for trying to take on the winner on his previous run at such a trip; longest absent in the line-up. |

Worth another go at today's trip but was just a respectable fourth on recent handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) and needs improvement. |

12st 2lb |
Won three small-field chases in early part of last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and ran better than eventual 18l defeat suggests at Perth (2m4f, good; hampered by final-fence faller) last month, after a layoff; will be fine over today's longer trip and goes on the shortlist. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Made a good start to his chasing career last year, winning three times between May and September (2m3f/2m4f, good), with two of them over C&D; also effective on good to soft, unproven on softer; he has a very solid record here and could play a leading role if fully tuned up after a break. |

Won at 22-1 on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in September on first run since May; disappointing at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October but often runs well after a break and he could be in the mix. |

Returned from break to cause 22-1 surprise on last month's chasing debut at Worcester (2m4f, good), keeping on strongly to reel in the leader on the run-in; nudged up only 2lb for that; high on the list. |

Irish point winner; runner-up in a Taunton maiden hurdle in January but well beaten since; travelled well for a long way on this month's reappearance when upped to around this trip on handicap/chase debut and should be all the sharper for that run; not ruled out with a tongue-tie now added. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Badly out of form since the autumn but has a first-time tongue-tie fitted here and is now now 10lb lower than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer; well worth a glance in the betting. |

Drying conditions will be in his favour but this 7yo has been struggling for a while now on all sorts of surfaces; potentially on a good mark even from out of the handicap but he's a risky proposition at the minute. |

All five starts on good ground; won novice hurdle at Ludlow (2m5f) in October 2024 for Mel Rowley; beaten when falling at final hurdle on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f) the following month; absent since; a market check is advised on his return but there's a suspicion he's best watched. |

Won comfortably under Ned Fox at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and also ran well when fourth there (2m4f, soft) later that month; below that level on latest outing (2m5f), though, and current mark demands a career-best effort. |
