30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner and two hurdle victories include a 2m handicap on good ground; latest Kempton run (2m5f, good to soft) hinted at some stamina limitations over this far but that was a competitive race and today's forecast drier ground should be favourable; every chance. |

Lightly raced 6yo who showed improved form when making all by 8l on his reappearance in a handicap at Market Rasen (2m, good) three months ago; has also run well on soft ground; has received a 10lb hike for last time and he's up in grade today, but he may well take it in his stride. |

One of three for yard; 3m2f handicap chase winner for Paul Nicholls off 5lb lower at Newton Abbott in May (3m2f, good); never travelled when pulled up at Fontwell in June (3m2f, good); preferred by Kennedy and goes on any ground; market can guide on debut for new yard. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bumper and pretty useful hurdle winner, including at Haydock in the prestigious 2m Swinton 18 days ago when tongue tied for the first time; Flat career of just four races, latest when fourth of eight from the back when joint-favourite on Flat handicap debut at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; has more to offer in this sphere and is one to note. |
7/1 |

1st 9 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
In good form over hurdles last spring, winning at Stratford and Hexham (both 2m, good to soft); he's only 2lb higher than for the second of those wins, and a recent run on the Flat after six months off should have blown away the cobwebs; impossible to discount in first-time tongue-strap. |
33/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner in bumpers and a four-time winner over hurdles; below his best over hurdles last time but he has shown promise in this sphere, including when third of seven in a Ffos Las novice (1m4f) last August, and is interesting on this Flat handicap debut. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
All four wins have come here, three over fences at around 3m and one over hurdles at 2m4f; latest success over fences came here last month in this headgear combination, but he's just as effective over hurdles and a key player reverting to this sphere off a small rise. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Both wins over fences have been over C&D, the first in first-time headgear a year ago; not at his best when fifth in the Sussex National back here 13 days ago but must be taken seriously down in grade with visor replacing blinkers. |

29th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Favourite for bumper debut at Ludlow in October but never in the picture; has run in better hurdle races than this in the meantime, at Sandown and Kempton, and has hinted at ability; considered down in class. |

11st 7lb |
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). |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three races in 2024; inconsistent since but ran well when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day; two poor runs since but has undergone wind surgery and a first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces; interesting if the market speaks favourably. |
11/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for two defeats of late; sole attempt in cheekpieces resulted in good second at Kempton (2m5f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied headgear. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Surprising to see the cheekpieces left off as they were on for the first time when pushing an improver close at Kempton (2m5f, good; all wins on good to soft); he was 12l clear of the third so a 4lb rise could have been worse; respected. |

Exposed as a fair Flat performer at best these days; pulled up twice and tailed off on the other occasion when tried over hurdles two seasons ago when with Alan King; best watched for now. |
