31st May 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Seems versatile regarding ground and has slipped to a workable mark but was inconsistent for Simon Earle last year and fell quite heavily on last month's stable debut; others look safer. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Landed good prize at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) in early 2024 and also has a good-ground course win on his CV; signed off for Simon Earle with poor run in December but makes stable debut from a workable mark; not ruled out. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't appear to stay 3m5f at Bangor two starts ago but fared little better when pulled up at Exeter last month back at a trip that should have suited; had been in good form prior to those runs and would hold at least place claims if able to rekindle that earlier spark. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |

In good form over fences prior to heavy defeat at Bangor where he failed to stay 3m5f; could go well now back down in trip on first hurdle start since December 2024. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |

0-7 over fences but has been running well, not beaten at all far the last twice in races at about 3m; however, although a 3m2f winner over hurdles, 3m6f appeared too far at Exeter in December. |

11st 0lb |
Front-running 10yo who has to defy the stats as only two veterans have landed this prize since its inception in 1981; however, has low mileage for her age and remains unbeaten over fences; bagged Listed honours, against her own sex, at Newbury/Exeter the last twice and is a rising force for Polly Gundry; gets the 7lb sex allowance and shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Formerly a fair hurdler/chaser, but the wheels have come right off; no appeal despite another 6lb drop. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Formerly with Paul Nicholls then Gavin Cromwell; has four jumps wins to his name; placed twice in this code at up to 1m5f but very hard to fancy on his form since joining his current trainer. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |

Winner over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and fences for Gavin Cromwell but pulled up at big prices in both hurdle starts for this yard; visor deployed on his belated handicap debut in this sphere. |

22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Didn't really take to chasing and when back over hurdles at Wincanton (2m5f) he perhaps found the heavy ground against him; won on good and good to soft over 2m4f last season and he probably stays 3m; nothing wrong with his mark. |
12/1 |

6th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft/good) towards end of last season, latterly off today's mark; lacked fluency and was safely held in two chases in the autumn but ought to be seen to better effect now back over hurdles; unraced on heavy ground but handles soft well. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bounced back to form when second of six in 2m3f Hereford handicap chase 20 days ago; he must enter calculations nudged up 1lb in his bid for a breakthrough chasing victory. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ended last season with emphatic hurdle win here (2m, soft) and was creditable second on seasonal/chase debut at Sandown (1m7f, soft) in December; two lesser efforts have followed but it would be dangerous to write him off at this stage. |
100/30 |

15th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a 2m soft-ground handicap hurdle by 10l here last March; his jumping lacked fluency so did well to go so close on chase debut at Sandown (1m7f, soft) and conditions were extremely testing when fourth at Haydock; massive shout on that penultimate effort. |

21st Apr 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles for Milton Harris/Anthony Charlton and has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn; starts off for new trainer on a good mark and with conditions to suit but still needs today's headgear switch to perk him up. |
