24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A three-time hurdles winner (around 2m) for Jamie Snowden but signed off for him with a below-par fifth in 2m6f Cartmel handicap 14 months ago; needs to hit the ground running for his new handler. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Rewarded determined ride when keeping on strongly from poor position to lead on the post at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; visored) in February but again raced lazily at Stratford (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in March, where he was beaten before final-flight fall; worth a go over this longer trip but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task; visor refitted. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has patchy profile but he's feasibly treated on best form and was disputing second when he fell at the last at Taunton (2m, soft) in final run last season; returns after almost a year off but conditions are no problem and he needs a close look on first run for Olly Murphy. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles on good to soft, at around 2m (acts on a sound surface); stays 2m5f; some way below his best since last spring; well treated on form of almost a year ago if bouncing back but has that to prove. |
10/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Out of form on slow ground during the winter but his recent fifth at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) was a step back in the right direction, and he might be seen to better effect if the ground is genuinely good here. |
20/1 |
|
5th 7 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Well below best on soft/heavy ground in recent months and not yet proven beyond about 2m5f but now very well handicapped on last spring's good-ground form, and the drying conditions here offer renewed hope. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lacks consistency but capitalised on a reduced mark when ending a near three-year drought at Ayr (extended 2m4f, soft) in April, but has failed to reproduce that effort since and the 6lb rise is not the chief concern; however, he could still go well if at his best. |
7/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made the most of a reduced mark when justifying support and gaining a first win since 2023 when scoring at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; remains well treated on past form back up 6lb and likely to be in the mix again. |
11/2 |

1st 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Without a win since 2023 but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and ran surprisingly well over 3m last time at Wincanton when all his form is over shorter; goes on soft. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Went close off 8lb higher in this race (good) last year but he's generally struggled since (Flat and hurdles) and was a remote fourth of five here last time; that took his losing run to 12 and others are preferred. |
15/2 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won over 1m6f here last August off 3lb higher but below form since; showed a bit more when third of five over C&D (good) 19 days ago, however, and a further 2lb drop in the weights gives him a fighting chance. |
5/2 |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Now 1lb lower than his win here over 1m6f (good) last August but he's been well beaten in three starts this summer, on this track and at Ayr; bit to prove. |

Won by 36l over C&D in July but that race fell apart and he hasn't threatened since, beaten about 14l returned to fences the last twice; could be on a tough mark (that last win was off 12lb lower) but this is weak. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Dual winner over hurdles (2024/2025) when trained by Fergal O'Brien; tailed off here over 1m4f on her stable debut and she was an 11l fifth at Beverley (1m4f) a week ago; step back up in trip needs to help. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

Modest winning hurdler for Fergal O'Brien last autumn; came in last of six for new stable in 1m4f Catterick handicap 13 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner but 0-13 on the Flat; didn't offer a great deal in points and a hunter chase for Tom Fife in the spring; others are preferred unless the betting speaks in his favour starting out for Phil Kirby. |

Didn't run badly on the Flat in July but has been disappointing over hurdles since winning a mares' novice at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in February and others have more pressing claims. |

Had somewhat mixed record during first season over hurdles but won a Sedgefield novice (2m4f, soft) in February and confirmed her wellbeing with a pretty good Flat run this month; could have a say. |
