26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
5-11 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and arrives on the back of a wide-margin success in a seller at Hexham (2m, good) 24 days ago; bought for £26,000 and commands major respect on chase debut for his new stable. |

1st 2 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Four hurdle wins at trips ranging from 2m-2m4f; was running well in handicaps in the autumn after chancing her arm over fences last September and this is a very winnable race given the favourable terms; strong claims for top yard that's 4-5 here. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-15 over hurdles, with a very mixed record; ran quite well when third here (2m4f, good) last month but was well held in the end; not bred for fences and makes only limited appeal on this chasing debut. |
12/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Tailed off over C&D last month and now 0-14 over hurdles; urgently needs to prove some ability remains. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
His two best RPRs were recorded here last summer, albeit over 2m (good); two below-par efforts since April's serviceable third in a novice seller at Exeter and he has work on from 3lb out of the handicap. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-11 over hurdles but the bulk of those wins have come on soft or heavy ground; sits 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (2m, soft; 9-4, four runners) over Christmas; one of three declared runners for Olly Murphy. |
10/1 |

5th 3 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Progressive 6yo who kept on stoutly to beat three rivals at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and is now 5-10 over hurdles; contests this much deeper race from a 6lb higher mark but still considered. |

Signed off for Kevin Frost with narrow course win (1m5f, good) last summer but his three subsequent runs for Linda Perratt were disappointing and he returns from a 224-day break with quite a bit to prove. |

Four wins from 42 races, the latest win at Hamilton (1m5f) in July on final start for Kevin Frost; soundly beaten on both starts since and he does not look the percentage call. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |

Regressive on the Flat since last autumn and yet to show anything more than minor promise after three hurdling starts this season; open to improvement in handicap hurdles but others here have more pressing claims. |

24th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Won narrowly over C&D last August and at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in September but poor since then, including in three starts over hurdles for this yard; hard to know how he will fare back on this surface from 2lb above his last winning mark. |

0-8 on the Flat; placed off basement marks on consecutive 1m6f AW starts in February/March and has winning jumpers in his pedigree but will need to take very well to hurdling to pose a threat here. |

6th 6 (3) |
4th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who was placed over C&D before going close over this trip at Southwell; disappointing when stepped up 2m back at Southwell latest but he's a contender on his 1m6f form; fitted with first-time cheekpieces. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since two below-par runs in November but returned from a break to win five-runner contest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in September, and is now back on the same mark; seems best on good ground but once won a point on soft; can't be ruled out. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Achieved more on RPRs for his Newton Abbot 3m2f class 5 win last time (good) than Arctic Angel did for hers, despite bleeding from the nose; up just 2lb and he's hugely unexposed as a handicap hurdler. |
2/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Unexposed after only five runs but showed no promise in novice/maiden hurdles last year and was pulled up here (2m5f, good) on last month's chase/handicap debut; needs recent wind op to have made a massive difference; 12lb out of the weights. |
