25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
5-14 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Taunton (3m, good; wore cheekpieces) last month; posted another career-best performance when finishing well from the rear for close third in valuable Haydock handicap (3m, good; first-time visor) 16 days ago and commands respect here. |
5/1 |

3rd 11 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
First four hurdle wins came in the month of May, before he took a four-runner race at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher in today's much more competitive affair but that was his first attempt over this far and he might have more to offer as a stayer; first visor replaces cheekpieces. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |

All four wins over hurdles have came in the month of May; returned from her winter break when last of four at Plumpton (2m2f, good to soft) last month; should be sharper and steps up in trip but is 10lb above her last winning mark. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Veteran with modest strike-rate in recent years; only beaten about 1l when fourth of seven here (2m1f, good) last month, after a break, and remains on a good mark but younger rivals appeal more all the same. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner; produced his best effort last season when narrowly denied at Exeter (2m2f, good) in October, but was well beaten next time and was pulled up in November on his final start; returns from 224 days off with something to prove. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; soundly beaten over 2m1f here yesterday, though, and will probably find this race too competitive. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; yet to strike form this season, though, and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

8st 9lb |
Yet to get his head in front but he turned in his best effort of 2024 when sixth of 11 in 1m4f Lingfield classified event 11 days ago; possibilities with his stamina drawn out more. |
16/1 |

4th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; bits of turf form last season give him a shout at this level but he's been well beaten at Bath in his two runs this spring; enough to prove. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
15th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressive maiden who started favourite when a close third to Asense and Uther Pendragon over C&D last autumn; didn't offer much on his recent comeback here, when well behind two of tonight's rivals. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win off 2lb higher in May; more recent efforts haven't been her best but getting back on AW may help, as could a change of headgear. |
6/1 |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins on AW (1m6f and 2m) but she acts on turf and is closely matched with Hawk Jet on a recent Salisbury run (1m6f); has possibilities but could probably do with the ground drying out. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on AW, off 1lb lower; ran creditably on turf at Lingfield (2m) in June but subsequent efforts leave something to be desired; not the percentage call. |

11st 10lb |
Hurdles record of 5-32 includes wins over 3m on good ground at Wetherby in October and Haydock latest start; holding his form well and is better than ever; may remain competitive. |
12/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Running well at present and he followed a Wetherby win (3m) in October with a solid third at Bangor (2m7f, also good), despite giving Joe Anderson a workout, 12 days later; has form on soft and is one to consider. |
8/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Arguably posted career-best performance when winning at Warwick (3m, good) 12 days ago, but is 6lb higher in a stronger race and not always one to rely upon; others appeal more. |

Dual hurdle winner in 2022; placed twice on the AW this autumn but his last two Flat runs were disappointing and this chasing debut will be his 82nd career start; 3lb out of the weights; too risky. |

Four-time hurdle winner on slow ground, including over C&D (raced prominently in first-time visor) in April; below par at Ffos Las (2m, good) latest, after a 5lb rise; each-way claims if he can bounce back. |
