19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Successful once during a spell over fences that ended poorly; two attempts back over hurdles represent no improvement on previous form in this sphere; difficult task in this field, despite receiving weight all round. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June and ran well when back over hurdles there (2m4f, good) this month; remains on a workable mark and is 2-2 at this track; shortlisted. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Might have won over fences here in June but for a bad late mistake (2m4f, good) but, while her Grade 3 assignment at Galway can be forgiven, she was never at the races last time at Perth; could appreciate returning to hurdles and her mark is fine. |

11st 3lb |
Won four on the trot at about 2m4f in 2024, culminating in a Grade 2 novice; hasn't recaptured that form since returning from an absence and she's in another competitive race here. |

10st 4lb |
Won four on the trot in July-October 2024 at about 2m4f, culminating in a Grade 2 novice event; long absence before three runs this year, easily best of those last time and that display gave some encouragement for this longer trip, but jumping was sketchy and cheekpieces are now applied. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3-14 over hurdles, having battled well to beat two next-time-out winners at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) last month; effectively 7lb higher here if Freddie Keighley's reduced claim is considered; still enters calculations. |
7/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Hereford in May 2024 and remained in respectable form for the rest of that year; wasn't one of his better efforts when fifth on comeback at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in May, however, and pulled up in a three-runner chase at Worcester (mistakes) last time; last run can probably be forgiven and this return to hurdles is a positive. |
9/2 |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Completed a good-ground hat-trick over hurdles during the first half of last year and only 4lb higher than for the last of those wins; perhaps needed his comeback race and, given his yard, he may well do better over fences. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a patchy record but he made it 2-10 over hurdles when justifying support at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in November; 6lb higher on his return but that was a comfortable success and he looks worth a try at this new trip; not ruled out. |

Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner who is on a reduced mark; however, he failed to shine in handicap hurdles last season and was tailed off on last month's chase debut at Perth. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Completed his hat-trick over fences at Hexham (3m, soft), albeit in a race that fell apart at the seams; he's been plying his trade in Class 5s and now has to cope with a 9lb rise, but wouldn't put it past him. |

1st 1 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's proving progressive over fences and landed handicaps (around 3m) at Market Rasen and Plumpton recently, showing a likeable attitude on latter occasion; up 2lb but he remains quite lightly raced and merits serious consideration in his hat-trick attempt. |
3/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Consistent since switched to chasing in the autumn and made all to score by 11l at Market Rasen (3m, soft) three weeks ago; should also be suited by this left-handed track and can make another bold bid. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has only achieved a modest level of form in his qualifying runs, with the pick of those a 20l third of 11 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July, all times ridden by James Martin; improvement needed on handicap debut. |
25/1 |

1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
No great shakes in his three points and modest form when he made much of the running in the last two of his three hurdle races at Uttoxeter (2m7f/2m4f, good) this summer; this drop in trip has to be explored but he'll need serious improvement. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Ran well for a long way in stronger C&D race than this four weeks ago but dropped out quite quickly once the pace lifted and was well beaten in the end; others look stronger. |
