11st 10lb |
Won two novice hurdles last year (2m/2m1f) but has finished last in his two handicaps; now fitted with a tongue-tie; wouldn't want rain. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Worcester maiden and Fontwell novice winner last summer/autumn; unseen since a 19l ninth of nine on October's Wincanton handicap debut, but retains vast handicapping scope judged on his smart Flat form; can go well fresh though doesn't always. |

Won a Worcester maiden hurdle last May (2m7f, good); creditable runs handicapping since; conditions suit; chance. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won his maiden over this trip at Worcester last May and has since shown he can cope with this sort of mark; whether he'll cope with today's ground is another matter as his best form has been on good. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Returned from break with hard-fought maiden win at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May and probably bettered that performance when clear second in C&D (good) handicap last month; likely contender again. |

11st 13lb |
Made all on chase/handicap debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) in November and again ran well when second at Doncaster (2m3f, good) later that month; should be fine on the slower ground here and has obvious claims. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice here last summer and some sign of a return to form when fourth at Warwick last week; this mark isn't a gift but has each-way claims. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Won twice at Worcester last summer but below his best on his last two starts and needs to come down a few pounds. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
5lb out of the weights and 50-1 when well beaten in the Welsh Champion Hurdle on final run in October; his earlier races were more realistic than that and he ran well; solid chance if fitness doesn't hold him back. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

Inconsistent hurdler who's been off for five months since a poor effort here in the winter; nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh and it's tough to find any positives. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dual Dundalk winner when based in Ireland; 0-8 over hurdles, once finishing runner-up in a 2m handicap off 3lb higher; only midfield on the Flat last time; others are more convincing. |

Both wins were AW Flat early in 2024 over 1m4f in Ireland; downhill in Britain that spring, with pieces of modest hurdles form since; others are more enticing. |

With a good stable and still very lightly raced but was pulled up when 33-1 for handicap debut here (2m5f, good) one year ago and has not raced again since; had wind op last September. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Showed nothing more than minor promise in her three qualifying races (all 2m) but is open to improvement in handicaps and her pedigree suggests today's step up in trip will suit. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth-time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looked fortunate because the leader made a bad mistake at the last but he's only 2lb higher here and he had an excuse when stepped back up 2m4f last time; dangerous back in trip. |

0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) last month; the leader made a bad mistake at the last but this 8yo wasn't far away at the time and he remains feasibly treated after a 2lb rise; respected back up in trip. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |

Shaped with promise on his debut for David Brace when third at Huntingdon (2m4f; chase debut) in December but he twice failed to build on it, coming in a well-held fifth at Leicester (2m) 25 days ago; starts out for another new yard here with something to prove. |
