28th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Easily won this last year and made it 3-3 here (good-heavy) when scoring over C&D in March; soundly beaten on final start last season and pulled up here on her return, but she may have needed that run and is entitled to respect based on her excellent record here previously. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won by a neck at Haydock (2m, good to soft) last month under Megan Fox and is 4lb higher today; performed as well as could be expected in the face of a stiff task when third of four in Grade 2 at Cheltenham a week later and has each-way claims on this return to handicap company. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Took advantage of a handy mark in Haydock handicap last Saturday, bringing record over hurdles to 6-20; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class and seems unlikely to match his second-place finish, which was a realistic outcome at the time, in this race last year. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Rewarded a determined Sean Bowen ride when winning off reduced mark at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in the spring; still well handicapped on older form and unexposed at around 3m but others have more persuasive profiles. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Grand servant to the yard with 11 hurdles wins; did what he's been doing for years by bouncing back to exploit a falling mark on his favoured testing ground at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January; most tenacious and impossible to dismiss off 3lb higher. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now and not the force of old but was nudged up only 1lb for last month's clear second in refitted cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) and ought to be better suited by this slower ground. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Respectable strike-rate (Flat/hurdles) during his spell with Fergal O'Brien; encouraging placed effort at Kempton (2m5f; second run for new yard) most recently; won a race of this nature at Aintree (2m, soft; off 2lb lower) two years ago. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) last September and he's just 1lb higher today; won over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month on his second start for this yard and there's lots to like about his claims. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Won a Hamilton handicap for Stuart Coltherd in September (1m5f, good to soft); subsequently changed yards and promising third over 2m here on stable debut after a break last week (good); should improve on that but yet to prove he is as effective at this trip. |
8/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2022-23; has changed stables three times since and perhaps best watched after a break on debut for latest new trainer, although is well handicapped now. |
