20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off a lowly mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in summer 2024, but his form this spring was not particularly inspiring and he's 8lb out of the weights on this first appearance in five months. |

Won at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer and ended last season with two fairly respectable runs, latterly when sixth in C&D race won by Millies Mite one month ago, but is out of the weights again today. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Only 1-16 over fences but it was his first run after wind surgery when coming from off the pace for a closing third at Bangor (3m, good) last week; that's something to build on and Sean Bowen is back. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Came good with narrow win off lowly mark at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in September but last month's reappearance run was disappointing; given another wind op (his second) since; others are more persuasive. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Veteran who has been lightly raced in recent years but proved he retains ability when a respectable third over C&D (good to soft) in July; has a soft-ground win on his CV; each-way claims at least. |
14/1 |

3rd 9 |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Veteran who has been very lightly raced in recent years; not disgraced in heavy-ground hurdle in March, after a one-year absence, but we haven't seen him since and his current ability is tricky to gauge. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Just 2-32 under rules but both wins were gained over C&D on good ground, the latter when keeping on just too strongly for subsequent winner Flashy Boy last month; 5lb higher now but a likely contender again. |
11/4 |
|
1st 7 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success in 31 attempts under rules came over C&D in July last year but he's lacked consistency since and, following a promising fourth here in June, finished 19l behind My Girl Katie over C&D the following month; has claims on his best form but comes with risks. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole career success came in this race 12 months ago and a recent close fourth here behind Edgewell should have teed him up for his defence; nothing wrong with his mark for all that he's 1lb wrong. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |

Returned from break with good-ground C&D win in October and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) a few weeks later; struggled on heavy ground at Fontwell in December but has been freshened up again since and Sean Bowen keeps the ride; must be considered. |

10st 5lb |
Won four times over hurdles when trained by Seamus Mullins but yet to be placed after five runs for new stable this year (hood added last time); on a good mark now and some rain might aid her cause but she needs to turn things around. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Low-mileage 5yo; soundly beaten on chasing debut in May but shaped with more promise when keeping on steadily from the rear for fourth at Fakenham (2m, good) last month, having been hampered by a faller and made two notable jumping errors; moves up in trip today; may have more to offer. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has done well since joining Nick Scholfield, making it three wins in last four starts in a small field at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); up another 4lb but he's the safest option here. |
4/5 |
|
1st 2 |
28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
He's produced a good body of work since joining Nick Scholfield, including a 3l defeat of Depalma over 3m at Bangor earlier this month; he's 14lb higher than that day but latest narrow defeat at Kelso was no backward step (3lb lower; 2m5f, good to firm); stays this far. |

Made all by 3l at Bangor (3m, good) on September 4 and won easily from the front against two rivals at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last week; under a penalty he's just 4lb higher than last time; could be tough to beat. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

25th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Won French deep-ground 2m3f hurdle in June 2019 and has placed form over fences but hasn't been seen since falling in a cross-country chase in November 2021; can only be watched with plenty to prove for his new stable after such a long absence. |

Showed the benefit of a fourth wind operation when winning over hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May and only narrowly denied by an in-form Skelton horse off 3lb higher two weeks later; below par since but he returns to fences on a competitive mark. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |

In good form when last in action, scoring by 14l at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in February 2025; only 2lb higher here but the cheekpieces (worn for last two wins) are missing, and he's entitled to benefit from this outing. |
