21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Rather in and out, and followed a Ludlow win (3m, good to soft) in December with a listless fourth over the same C&D three weeks ago; needs first-time headgear to inject some sparkle. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Returned to form with hard-fought C&D (good to soft) win in December, his second C&D success, and was nudged up only 1lb for that; obvious contender if in similar mood again. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a 3m handicap that fell apart at Ludlow (good to soft) in February and that was under a 3lb claimer; probably has no margin for error off this mark and that spells danger in this warm a race; that said, his Chepstow run after a break was encouraging. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-11 over fences; well handicapped on some of his placed form for Sam Thomas in 2023-24 campaign but ran poorly on only appearance last season and made low-key reappearance for new stable last month; revival needed. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-10 over fences when trained by Sam Thomas; ran several good races in defeat and will be suited by today's trip/ground but was out of form when last seen last November; market may guide on stable debut. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten between 17l and 33l in his last three hunter chases, getting outpaced at trips from 2m5f to 3m1f; tongue-tie is now added; probably playing for minor money. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |

Outpaced on all four starts this year, latterly in hunter chases at Stratford (2m5f) and Exeter (3m), on which evidence the marathon on this card might have been a more comfortable fit; others are more persuasive. |

11st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner; went close off today's mark at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in March but this regressive 10yo was soundly beaten over fences when last in action and would appeal much more on slower ground. |
25/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Inconsistent 10yo who was well beaten when back over fences in May (2m6f), then unsuited by the drop back to 2m on his most recent start at Newton Abbot last month when a well-held third of six; on a good mark if the mood takes him now back up to a more suitable test. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Went close over hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in March but this inconsistent and steadily regressive 10yo was well beaten when back over fences last month (2m6f); drops back to about 2m for first time since hurdle debut in 2020; has done all his winning on ground slower than good. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but needed considerable help from the handicapper before his hurdling win for Dan Skelton in March; unplaced in five French hurdles since joining Sophie Leech and not the most obvious answer here; suited by soft/heavy ground. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
With the cheekpieces off and having dropped down the weights, he returned to form with a creditable third at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; his rules wins have come on soft/heavy ground and he's a strong contender if producing another good performance here. |

Ex-Paul Nicholls; has a couple of thirds to show from his five starts for Evan Williams but has been no closer than 24l; wouldn't be the percentage call. |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |

2-5 in novice hurdles for Paul Nicholls last season; well beaten in four handicap chases on soft/heavy ground for new stable this autumn, the latest just one week ago, but this much quicker surface ought to show him in a better light; interesting. |

Struggling for form since joining this stable but he's become very well handicapped; hard to completely rule out but he needs to step up; stable also runs Twilight Glory. |

15th May 2023 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Possibilities if returning to his early-season form last campaign but now has to bounce back from two non-completions; the return of cheekpieces (tried blinkers last time) is a positive and he's got himself well handicapped. |
