20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A nine-time Flat winner over 1m6f-2m, he made a pleasing hurdles debut when third of five finishers (with stablemate Alex The Great 27l back) in a Hereford maiden (2m, good) 15 days ago; steps up in trip and holds place claims. |

3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdles debutant who is a nine-time AW winner at 1m6f/2m, most recently in March; one of the better contenders in terms of achievements but an unconvincing turf record leaves him with something to prove. |
11/2 |

6th 7 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m, AW) last month and he ran to a similar level when fourth at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago; on lower mark back on turf but he's struggled in his six runs in this sphere including three 2m handicaps; risks attached. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has often blown the start and he refused to jump away at all without the usual blinkers (back on here) last month; is capable off this mark but a lot will hinge on his mood and how he handles the stalls. |

14th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Handles Tapeta but is best known for his Chelmsford work and has three poor efforts to his name here, including one at a short price; is long odds-on to blow the start too, so doesn't come without risk, going without headgear for the first time in ages. |

Returned from break with clearcut win in selling handicap at Fakenham (2m, good) in February but two lesser efforts followed (chase/hurdle); back from another break today; others have less to prove. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden under both codes but he was running well when crashing out two from home at Taunton 17 days ago (3m, good); enters the reckoning. |
7/1 |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Didn't fire on latest outing but began handicap hurdle career with encouraging thirds at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and Fakenham (2m7f, good); 4lb lower now and Philip Armson claims 3lb today; could have a say. |
12/1 |

6th 8 |
3rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair stayer on the Flat (albeit a maiden); third in both handicap hurdles, more recently when upped to 2m7f at Fakenham (good) a fortnight ago, but needs to find something extra here; cheekpieces refitted. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Came good at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in March and probably bettered that performance when close second at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in April; reportedly not suited by the sharp track at Cartmel when very disappointing favourite last month but might bounce back in new headgear here and is evidently versatile ground-wise. |
6/1 |
|
8th 11 |
26th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Arrives on the up for his current yard, scoring at Fontwell (2m5f) in March before an excellent second of nine in 2m5f handicap at Newton Abbot the following month; he was a fair 1m6f Flat winner so merits serious consideration despite a 3lb weights rise. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Scored over C&D last May for Brian Ellison; yet to fire for his new yard in handicaps at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and Lingfield (2m) this spring though. |
14/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
A fair 1m6f scorer for Brian Ellison in 2025; beat only one for his new handler after seven months off in 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton last month; needs to take a big step forward. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Debuts for a fourth yard having been picked up from Brian Ellison last autumn for 7,500gns; won first time out as a 2yo and on his comeback last spring, which gives hope, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

11th Jul 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |

Useful dual-purpose performer in his prime but out of form in low-grade AW handicaps this year and again disappointed when back on turf last month; revival needed. |
16/1 |

13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Dual-purpose veteran who gained his latest win in 2m2f marathon on soft ground in April 2023; placed under Margot Scudamore at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December but this year's AW form is very uninspiring. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime and showed some aptitude for hurdling when placed in Uttoxeter maiden (2m, good to soft) for Anthony Carson in October 2020; regressed on the Flat in 2021, though, and today's stable debut comes after a long absence. |

Fourth in three starts off this mark since returning from wind surgery, including twice over C&D, the latest ten days ago (winner has gone in again since); should go well again but a bit more is needed for the win. |
