14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual Flat winner, who won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m5f) in the first half of 2024 but he's been on the sidelines since; has something to prove after a mammoth absence but Oisin Murphy is booked; needs watching in market. |

Changed hands after winning Flat seller for William Haggas last summer (1m3f, soft; RPR 79); just a respectable fourth in uncompetitive Plumpton maiden (2m, good) on last month's stable/hurdle debut and needs that outing to have brought him on significantly. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Went close in Newton Abbot novice hurdle (2m5f, good) for Paul Nicholls last summer but quickly became very disappointing for him; drying ground might aid his cause on today's stable/chase debut but he has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Well beaten on his last three starts, the last two being his first handicaps (2m5f, soft); something to prove but he was second in a good-ground 2m5f novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last June, and the return to better ground may help; stamina in pedigree and with leading yard; no forlorn hope. |

The race she won at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) lacked depth and a penalty found her out back there next time over 2m5f; Will Featherstone's claim is welcomed. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Well bred; had 559 days off after shaping okay in a bumper; beaten under 9l into third on hurdling debut at Huntingdon in April before making the most of a weak opportunity here (2m1f, soft) in May; should be fine on the quicker ground over this longer trip, with stamina in her pedigree, but she might prove vulnerable under her penalty for the win in this stronger race. |

Well bred; had 559 days off after shaping okay in a bumper and she was beaten under 9l into third on hurdling debut at Huntingdon; both those runs were on good ground but she's still one of the better options in this poor a race. |

Won two points in spring 2024 but he's failed to complete in last four runs including in hurdle handicaps (125-1) in his last two starts; still lightly raced in this sphere but he has a lot to prove back up in trip; cheekpieces added. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Won two points in spring 2024; modest form as a novice over hurdles that summer but failed to complete in two points last spring and it was the same story on handicap debut over C&D (125-1) two weeks ago. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Beat two others to win a 3m point in May; inconsistent in four subsequent runs over hurdles but she was placed at Newton Abbot (about 2m5f) in July and again over that C&D (also good) four weeks ago; possibilities if she's on a going day. |

Bumper winner; second to Sweet Caryline at Fontwell and went one better when getting up in the nick of time at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft); up 4lb and add another 1lb for being out of the weights; clearly a contender. |

Won a six-runner maiden point in May (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces); last of five in a restricted point next time and was tailed off seventh of 11 at Newton Abbot on hurdles debut in June (2m5f, good; no headgear); headgear back on; more needed. |

Has only shown a modest level of ability on the Flat in six starts, including on this month's Bath (1m2f, good to firm) reappearance; sole effort over hurdles resulted in a heavy defeat and difficult to make a case for. |

A five-time chase winner, he has adapted well since returning to hurdles in cheekpieces, making all at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June and Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month (fell when holding a clear advantage in between); has a big penalty but will be difficult to keep tabs on. |

Five-time chase winner who faced a simple task when opening his account in this discipline over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) this month; has more on his plate under a penalty in this deeper race but he's respected nonetheless. |

Dual point winner over 2m4f/3m on good/good to soft; creditable fifth in a Chepstow hunter chase on rules debut in April but not so good when a well-beaten fifth at Cartmel (2m5f, good; 5-2) last month; might find a couple too strong on hurdle debut but has place claims. |
