23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when winning comfortably over C&D (good to soft) in February; not quite in the same form on either subsequent appearance but still ran respectably at Plumpton last time, and the return to this track is an obvious plus. |

Won comfortably in the first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) but he ran moderately off a 9lb higher mark next time when perhaps the headgear failed to help a second time; if it was just an off-day then he might bounce back. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways after six months off in 4m1f hunter chase at Warwick (good) 22 days ago; effective over this much shorter trip and this likeable front-runner is not out of things. |

1st 2 |
1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |

Highly impressive 26 finishes in the first four (eight of them wins) from 30 rules/pointing runs for the Owens, with stamina proven up to 3m6f; all-the-way hurdles winner over 3m2f here just last autumn (good), and likelier than some to run his race. |

13/2 |

4th 4 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Multiple chase winner who made it three for the year at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; hasn't run to the same level since, a recent second at Huntingdon being a remote one, and others further up the list. |
14/1 |

11st 10lb |
Resurgent 10yo who ended last season with two 2m5f wins (good/good to soft) and posted another good effort when close second of 13 at Hexham (2m4f, good) this month; obvious contender. |

Has come right back to form on last two starts, winning at Hereford (2m5f, good) and Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft); has gone up 9lb but should go well again. |

Returned to winning ways in the new visor at Taunton (2m7f, good) but whether he'll follow one good run with another is questionable and he's gone up 6lb. |

1st 8 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Dual chase winner who showed up well until tiring on his first start for three months when fourth of eight finishers at Hereford (2m5f, good) 15 days ago; first-time visor replaces regular cheekpieces; place claims. |
10/1 |

4th 7 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual chase winner; seemingly back in good nick when second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November but ended 2025 with two non-completions and his record when fresh is not good; others preferred. |

9st 8lb |
Ordinary hurdler/chaser who has struggled in 1m4f novice events at Southwell (200-1) in his last three runs; now goes up in trip on his Flat handicap debut but he needs to show a lot more; cheekpieces reapplied. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won off a career-low chase mark at Fontwell (3m2f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in November and slower ground wouldn't have been ideal the last twice; none too reliable these days at the best of times. |
12/1 |

5th 5 |
31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Very inconsistent this season and his win at Fontwell (good ground; 5lb higher today) on penultimate start was over 3m2f; his soft-ground form was two years ago and he pulled up on his only appearance on heavy. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Not an easy one to predict but seemed to respond positively to first-time cheekpieces when rallying second at Warwick (3m, good) in May; still unexposed over staying trips; big player if headgear continues to aid. |

2nd 11 |
30th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Multiple chase winner with plenty of form here, including a runner-up finish in first-time blinkers last week over 2m4f (good); has won over this far. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving. |

Looked out of sorts when pulled up on last two hurdling starts but won race this race under Sean Bowen a year ago (good ground) and is only 1lb higher today; contender if perked up by headgear switch. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Only 3l away at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but was pulled up over nearly 3m at Uttoxeter; didn't appear to stay but goes again at about 3m with a tongue-tie added; 4lb out of the weights. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
