25th Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark (19th attempt) when scoring over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) in November but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off at Doncaster last time; now makes his chase debut after another break and he needs to bounce back near his best. |

All out to win at Taunton (2m3f, good) two months ago, opening his account at the 19th attempt; back up 6lb and back down in trip, he doesn't look an obvious type to follow up. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |

Two good-ground wins during the winter but nothing positive to take from his last two races and the weather forecast doesn't bode well. |
10/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Returned from break with good-ground C&D win in October and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) a few weeks later; struggled on heavy ground at Fontwell in December but has been freshened up again since and Sean Bowen keeps the ride; must be considered. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
4-10 over fences and better than ever this season with front-running wins at Taunton (2m7f; good to soft/good); this track will suit her style but a collective 17lb rise for those wins could see her vulnerable. |
5/1 |

1st 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Lightly raced this term but she looked better than ever last time when gaining a second C&D success, cosily making all; hiked up 10lb but she's a big player. |
3/1 |

1st 7 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Front-running winner of this race last year, but she's had only three runs since and was tailed off at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month; needs to bounce back after that but she's feasibly treated if she can get back near best; has won on good and heavy ground. |

11yo mare who has not won in over two years and was tailed off at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; others are preferred. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

A dual course scorer but this veteran mare came in last of five in 2m Lingfield handicap last month; others are preferred. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not lasting out over longer trips this term, so return to 2m makes sense, but it's over five years since she was last able to win outside mares-only company; 6lb out of the weights. |

Only win came in a novice back in 2023; nearly added a handicap in March (good to soft) but he has his share of off days. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Had Ugo Bingo behind when second over C&D last month but his run here 11 days ago was pretty miserable and he can be up and down. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Just one win from starts over hurdles but he returned after a short break with a close second here (1m7f, good to soft) last month; up 2lb but he seems effective at this trip and he's on the shortlist. |

Last win was off 18lb higher in March 2023; returns to a more suitable trip than the 3m last time but ran just the one race of any real note last year and he's an 11yo now. |

Mark has never been more accommodating in seven seasons with these connections, and although winless beyond 2m6f under rules does stay further; diminishing returns since May's Newton Abbot second, however. |

0-5 over fences but looked suited by the drop back in trip and gave very good account when second of ten over C&D (good) in June; player off same mark if still in same form after 111-day break. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season (once here) but was pulled up on final two starts for him and failed to build upon his satisfactory stable debut when tailed-off third in small-field contest last month (first-time blinkers); sports refitted cheekpieces here; has a point to prove. |
7/1 |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season (2m3f/2m5f); left that stable after two disappointing runs in the winter but was respectable fourth for new stable at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May and has possibilities if aided by first-time blinkers here. |
9/4 |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season, over C&D (good) last May and in first-time cheekpieces at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in December; pulled up on consecutive outings in the winter but is back on much better ground for this stable debut and it will be very interesting to see what Anthony Honeyball can do with him. |

30th Nov 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Had few chances and put up an improved show when second of ten to an improver at Bangor in August (2m3f, good); weakened quickly and pulled up next time, though (favourite), so has some questions to answer. |
