19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
4-7 over hurdles and he posted a personal best when winning in a small field at Worcester (2m7f, good to soft) five weeks ago; may still have some untapped potential; major contender in first-time cheekpieces. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Completed hat-trick with ready win on handicap debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) in November; ended 2024 with a lesser effort and was safely held when upped to 2m4f for reappearance in April but may still have potential over this even longer trip. |

Brought up his hat-trick on handicap debut at Aintree in November (2m1f, good) and his following run at Doncaster off this 7lb higher mark looked too bad to be true; arrives here fresh and may well have further improvement lurking. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Chasing didn't go to plan last season and he was safely held when reverting to hurdles for last two runs; returns from eight-month break on tempting mark but may find 2m on good ground too sharp. |

4th 4 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
C&D win in late 2024 (heavy) initiated a double; today's the first time since that he's returned below the mark of the second leg; have to hope confidence hasn't been sapped entirely by this term's heavy defeats. |
25/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Three-time hurdle winner last season, most recently off mark 1lb lower than today's in this race (heavy); chasing has not gone to plan this term (three attempts) but he might fare better now back over hurdles. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Last year's winner (from 7lb lower); form figures here (2m-2m4f) this year read 544343; finished in front of two of these rivals (Try Them and Nobotheratall) when a keeping-on third to Inappropriate over C&D latest; eased 1lb, and is back on her last winning mark (Hexham). |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
C&D winner who was placed off 1lb higher in a bunch-finish here (2m4f, good) in July and was respectable fourth in Class 2 C&D contest last month; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

4th 8 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |

C&D winner who was seemingly back in good form when close third in bunch-finish here (2m4f, good) five weeks ago; up in grade today but remains on a good mark; no surprise if she features. |

11st 8lb |
18-1 winner of a C&D maiden (good) last August but pulled up on handicap debut (2m4f) next time and was tailed off back on the Flat (first run after wind op) on her return in May; still lightly raced but has some questions to answer and others are more convincing. |

Lightly raced 5yo who scored over hurdles last August and had wind surgery since running poorly in September; has weak claims on Flat form but may improve off her opening mark; heed the market signals. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |

Regressive on the Flat nowadays and has shown only minor promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m2f) this summer; moves up in trip and sports refitted blinkers on handicap hurdle debut; improvement needed. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Point and hurdle winner who's had just five Flat races; sixth of 12 in C&D handicap nine days ago was easily her closest Flat finish, so she's unlikely to be 100-1 again this time, but she does need to build on that. |
40/1 |

Winning hurdler for Jacqueline Coward; brought along steadily in this sphere for Michael and David Easterby, coming in a never-dangerous 11th in 7f Thirsk maiden in April; has rejoined former yard and not discounted now going handicapping over this much longer distance. |

Irish point winner; left Nicky Henderson after one underwhelming bumper run in 2023 and has not shown a great deal in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles for new stable this summer, but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and ought to be suited by the step up in trip; worth a market check. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times in a week in refitted cheekpieces on the Flat in July; just a respectable third when back over hurdles in a visor (as today) at Hereford (2m3f, good to firm) on Tuesday and may not be ideally suited by this trip back in trip but remains on a workable mark. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m3f-2m4f), all on good ground; in cracking form on the Flat in July, winning three times; form has dipped since and he was out of sorts when last seen over hurdles, but he's hard to dismiss back in this sphere off just 1lb higher than for his most recent hurdle win. |

Prolific hurdle winner last summer and three Flat successes in July, at 1m4f and 1m6f (all on good to firm); however, he found nothing after making the running at Pontefract (2m1f) last time and was eased right down; now has something to prove. |
