25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Absent since comfortable success in small field at Haydock (3m1f, good) six months ago; faces a stiffer task from 5lb out of weights in this better race and seems unlikely to follow up. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won smoothly on soft ground in this race last year (7lb higher today); handicapper has had the call since but seconds at Warwick (3m5f, good) and Haydock (3m4f, good) on last two outings showed that he should have a big say in this very small field. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has very modest 1-31 career strike-rate but was clear second to a big improver on last month's seasonal/stable at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) and is also suited by this C&D; leading contender. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Right back to form on last month's second start after 16 months out, just holding on in a Uttoxeter Class 4 (3m, good to soft); form of that win remains untested, but 4lb rise probably fair; effective on good also. |
7/2 |

1st 5 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, good) in April 2024 but he's had only two runs since and was pulled up back from a long absence on recent stable debut at Haydock; overall record is now 1-14 and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made the breakthrough when scoring over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in April 2024 but not seen since falling two out (was second and closing) over that C&D six months later; has since switched stables (same owners) and market might help on this reversion to hurdles after 504 days away. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Won twice over fences at around this trip last spring; not so good since but is 1lb lower than his last winning mark so cannot be ruled out. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |

Won twice last spring at about this trip but essentially underwhelming since, albeit in better races than this; the drop in class should be welcomed. |

15th May 2024 Good 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Good strike-rate of 7-19 over fences but he's been well below form in both runs since his last win at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) in March; has quite a bit to prove again at this new trip but seems ideally suited by testing ground. |

Dangerously well handicapped on last season's form but his struggles continued at Haydock only two weeks ago; has a lot more to prove than some of these. |
