14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Three-time Flat winner and successful four times over hurdles; however, hasn't been running all that well under either code following a year on the sidelines and this is a belated first attempt at chasing. |

11st 4lb |
Defied higher marks three times in 2024 but his 2025 form took a turn for the worse; chance depends on whether this first start of 2026 results in a turnaround. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |

Four-time winner over hurdles but has looked out of sorts on the Flat and over hurdles this year; the new visor did nothing for him last time. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Rather in and out this season but he beat two other finishers in 2m4f contest on heavy ground here in February, and that success was no bolt from the blue; more is required off a career-high mark but the step back up in trip should suit and Freddie Mitchell's claim is a plus. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Gave good account when fourth at Taunton (2m, good) in December, his second start for Tim Vaughan, but last month's Ffos Las run was a backward step and he's now 0-13 over hurdles; cheekpieces removed; tongue-tie added. |

11th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden but has hit the frame and was beaten under 5l at Taunton last time (2m, good) when shaping as though a stiffer stamina test was needed. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Sole win (28 races) came when dead-heating in a C&D handicap (good) in 2022; well supported when a good third over 3m2f at this track (good; beaten 2l) last month; should give a good account back in distance. |

3rd 8 |
5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Sole win (27 races) was at this track in September 2022; chance on some 2023 form but she needs better than on last five outings if she's to win and there are stamina doubts judged on three attempts at about 3m. |
10/1 |

17th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
1-26; taking in a first 0-120 since her November 2021 handicap debut and does so from 13lb out of the weights; surely too big an ask. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained a maiden success over fences at Lingfield (2m) in November 2024 but lightly raced since and below par, coming in only third of four over 2m1f here two weeks ago; tried in different headgear now. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
1-6 over fences, the win coming two seasons ago off 6lb higher (2m, soft); returned from a long absence in December and he's been a long way beneath that winning form in three races. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won on first completion over fences, at Lingfield (2m, soft) in November 2024, but he hasn't run to the same level since, pulling up at Fontwell (first-time cheekpieces, retained) in January on second run back from an absence; has it to prove at present. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
2-20 over hurdles; put in good front-running shift before weakening into fifth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but others in the line-up have more appealing profiles. |

Stuck to his task pretty well when fifth of 12 in Fontwell handicap (2m3f, good) 11 days ago but has rather mixed record since winning 2m Plumpton maiden in October and others appeal more. |

Won a point and placed in a bumper before going absent for 638 days; minor form in three novice hurdles and a handicap chase last season; returns to hurdles with low mileage for an 8yo but others have more compelling credentials. |

Irish maiden point winner; third in a bumper in March 2021 but, with wind surgery last August, he did not race again until well held in three novice hurdles this winter (latest at Newbury last month); now makes chase debut and goes beyond 2m3f for the first time under rules. |

11st 1lb |
Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft; including C&D) and followed a break by returning to winning ways with a career best at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; could still have more to offer and she's respected up 4lb. |

Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft); ran okay when fourth of seven over C&D (good to soft) in November when last seen (lost a shoe); each-way claims if fully tuned up after a break. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made excellent progress when fitted with cheekpieces in the spring, and the second of her three wins was gained over C&D; further improvement is possible if she's fully tuned up after five-month break. |
