25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up on soft ground this month, after a layoff, but this three-time course winner is now only 1lb higher than when holding on for narrow C&D (good) success last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Six hurdle wins, latest over 3m1f at Cartmel last August (good); high enough in the ratings at present, lacks a recent run and perhaps best watched this time. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive 8yo who has collected two good prizes at Cartmel (2m6f/3m1f, good) since tongue-tie was refitted in July; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive but this more conventional track may not suit quite so well. |

Four hurdles wins on good in 2022 for Fergal O'Brien; back for new yard in April after 418 days off and latest start was a step back in the right direction; unraced beyond 2m5f but 7lb below his last winning mark. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Formerly useful for Paul Nicholls; only win for this yard came in a three-runner handicap hurdle at Carlisle (3m1f, good to soft) and there hasn't been much to shout about since then; blinkers belatedly return. |

Formerly useful for Paul Nicholls; sole win for this yard came in a three-runner handicap hurdle at Carlisle (3m1f, good to soft) and there hasn't been much to shout about since then (back chasing last time); visor replaces cheekpieces. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Useful staying hurdler for Paul Nicholls but his two chasing attempts for him in 2021 did not go well; safely held on both outings this season (3m/2m4f) and comes with significant risk on return to fences. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Four-time winner here, two over C&D on good ground (handles soft); undoubtedly on a dangerous mark but latest two efforts have been underwhelming and he needs to turn things around; safer to look elsewhere on recent form. |
33/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four of his seven wins have been at Hexham; latest win (May 2024) was over this C&D (good to soft) when 13lb higher; mainly disappointing since then, but on a good mark now. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Didn't run badly when fifth of nine at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month and will be fine over today's longer trip but is on the downgrade now and needs a boost from the refitted cheekpieces today. |

Admirable veteran with 17 wins to his name, the latest off today's mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) only last summer; may have needed his comeback run and wouldn't put it past him running well. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won a point in January but was pulled up on all three rules starts this year, most recently when back in a handicap for stable debut three weeks ago; has too much to prove. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Novice hurdle and point winner who ran respectably when close second of two in a point-to-point in May; however, his form has been patchy this year and he was pulled up in a hunter chase in April; others arrive with more pressing claims. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Dug in well to hold on in a Cocklebarrow conditions point in January (3m, good) but has failed to complete thrice since; chance likely increases if conditions quicken, but others still convince more. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Formerly a useful hurdler/chase for Willie Mullins; bought for £20,000 in May 2023; pulled up both starts pointing this year; plenty to prove on stable debut following wind surgery. |

14th May 2023 Good To Yielding 3m 2f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Has seemingly been out of form over fences this season, only completing three out of his six starts; latest effort at Punchestown when finishing fifth, beaten 13l; step up in trip will suit and his jumping needs to hold up if he is to be in the mix. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; first switched to Flat in late July, racing over 1m initially before his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 14 days ago; duly raised his game when stepped up to 2m here yesterday, making most and beating all except the easy winner; big player if he's in the same form today. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; has had only five races on the Flat, with 1m looking inadequate on first four occasions and 1m2f the same with his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 13 days ago; dropped 2lb and it's not hard to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the much longer trip. |
8/1 |
|
6th 17 (17) |
12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; only had four races on the Flat and a 1m has looked inadequate; however, even 1m2f might not be far enough for him. |
