9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the odd snippet of very useful form in 2024, winning easily at Wetherby (2m3f, good) that November on his second chase start; however, his subsequent exploits put him well down the pecking order in this line-up. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Useful handicapper over hurdles and fences as recently as 2024; finished well held on final two starts for Ben Pauling, albeit in strong handicap chases, and heavy defeat on stable/point debut last month following a break leaves him with something to prove; still, he'd be the one to beat on these terms if anywhere near his best. |

11th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |

Pulled up at Newbury in December and tailed off at last month's Cheltenham Festival, following wind surgery; however, he looked good when winning easily at Wetherby (2m3f, good) in November on his second chase start, and he's a contender if tapping back into that promise now back down in grade. |

Ran fairly well when second over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May, albeit no threat to winner Doc McCoy and subsequently disqualified after rider weighed in light, but was tailed off over fences last month and has become unreliable. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Ran well on both visits here, winning over hurdles last March and second over fences in December; however, he's been out of form elsewhere on his last three outings, back hurdling on last two, and now has tongue tied first time; not proven over this far; 10lb claimer is recruited. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

12th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Temptingly treated on the pick of his handicap form at about 2m on ground not too slow; Taunton last time was disappointing (2m3f, good) but coming back to a sharp 2m will help and could run well if his jumping holds up (can make mistakes). |

2nd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Smart on the Flat in his heyday and won a novice hurdle in 2020 but, following a mammoth absence, looked reluctant to race and never really got involved when 50-1 for last month's stable/handicap hurdle debut (first-time blinkers); current ability very hard to gauge. |

3rd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Running well at a useful level on the Flat for Keith Dalgleish when last raced in September 2021; had earlier run twice over hurdles, winning a Carlisle novice before a respectable effort raised in class here; comes with risks after so long out (22-1 when unruly at the post for an intended start at Warwick last month) but he's in good hands and couldn't be ruled out; tries blinkers (has run well in a visor). |

11st 13lb |
Won this last year when 2lb higher (good); ran well in fifth of 15 at Catterick in January, when not quite seeing out the 2m3f trip, and he unseated mid-race there last time; could have a big part to play. |
4/1 |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
All three wins on good ground but some useful form on soft; first win for this yard at Sedgefield (2m1f; off 2lb higher) last March but he's needed some excuses since; should be suited by the return to a shorter trip but will need to be right on his game to win today. |
8/1 |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

Beaten upwards of 12l in four starts since winning in a tongue-tie at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in March; stays this trip and he's back down to that winning mark, though; hood (reapplied last time) comes off again. |

3-4 over fences, the last two wins gained by wide margins in small fields at Doncaster (2m3f, good/good to soft); shooting up the weights but evidently in very good nick. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

Got right back on the up when making it 2-3 over fences in C&D handicap two weeks ago; hiked up 8lb but well on top at the finish there so he's a big player for stable well among the winners. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

Disappointing at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but reportedly unsuited by that tight track; prior to that he won here (2m, good to soft) on his chase debut, and his last two hurdle wins came over 2m3f; has a strong record at this course and could play a leading role now back here. |

Posted a couple of reasonable fourths at Perth (2m4f, good) in August/September and continues to drop down the weights; however, he was soundly beaten at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Eight-time hurdle winner, the last two in claimers in the spring; his three chase starts haven't been devoid of promise but he was only sixth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time and needs something extra. |

Won five over hurdles for previous yards and three over fences last term for current trainer; may have needed the run when seventh of eight finishers at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month after six-month layoff but probably needs to come down the weights. |

Five-time hurdle winner who did well over fences in the second half of last year, with three wins and two seconds; returns after six months off but he's only 2lb higher than for his last success and he has won when fresh in the past; needs close look back over hurdles. |
