11st 11lb |
Did at least get round last time but was pretty much tailed off and didn't jump that well; others safer. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easily reeled in and was pulled up after blasting off in front at Market Rasen a fortnight ago (well backed), and has now failed to complete all four races this year; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D but needs to get career back on track. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |

Last win came in this race 12 months ago when 4lb lower; can struggle to find fluency over his fences and hasn't completed in his last three races; bit risky. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has mixed record over fences since last autumn but was a respectable fifth in a much stronger race than this when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is another 3lb lower here; seems best suited by good/good to soft ground; big player. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Bumper/hurdle winner; very mixed over fences since joining this yard and now returns from a third wind operation; risky. |

28th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Competitive in this year's four points (on good or faster ground) but a 13yo now and may struggle to cope with the best of these. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Better known as a hunter chaser/pointer these days but this 12yo ran a pleasing first race for this yard when third over 2m4f at Bangor, behind one who has since followed up; hard to discount. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Exploited reduced mark under Benjamin Macey at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January and last month's heavy-ground third was perfectly respectable; also suited by much quicker surfaces; probably won't be far away. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Back on track off a reduced mark since returning from a break and responded well to Benjamin Macey's urgings to get back up at Wetherby (3m, soft); big run looks on the cards off 4lb higher. |
5/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Twice a soft-ground hurdle winner at up to 3m; lost his way last season and had slipped to a handy mark and was supported before taking a step back in the right direction at Haydock (3m, good) latest; likely player from the same mark. |

11th Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who is only 1-11 over fences, the win gained at Ffos Las (2m3f; stable debut) in May; has failed to back up that form in two subsequent starts (had further wind surgery since latest) and looks more exposed than these rivals. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who was given a wind op before winning quite stylishly on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) in May; disappointed when favourite to follow up at Bangor last month but could plausibly still have more improvement to come for this stable; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice in blinkers on good ground last summer (2m/2m1f) but was given a break after two disappointing runs in the autumn and made a low-key return without blinkers last month; has blinkers back on today but needs to get back in the groove. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two wins last summer (2m/2m1f, good), the latest off just a 1lb lower mark; form has dipped in his last two races, at Cheltenham and then Carlisle where he should have run better; absent since November. |
12/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Perked up by blinkers this summer, winning twice, but faded into third after setting the pace in run-of-the-mill Worcester handicap (2m, good) last month and is patently not the force of old. |

Winless since 2021 and he came in a well-held 11th after eight months off in 2m4f Worcester handicap chase nine days ago; others are more persuasive. |
