28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Showed career-best form when scoring by 9l here (2mf, good) in June, his second hurdle win; went up 8lb for that and returned with a low-key Flat run this month but will be fine over today's longer trip; respected. |

12st 0lb |
Has six wins on the Flat; sole success in this sphere came at this track (2m5f, good) in August 2024; still 6lb above his winning mark but was still in contention when brought down at the last flight over C&D (good) in April; holds place claims. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has shown ability on good ground over hurdles and fences but was disappointing when last seen here in November; has since had a wind op but needs to step up if he's to win this. |

Yet to win after nine attempts over hurdles and could do with settling better, which was again evident when pulled up last time over 2m3f; not at all badly treated on his placed efforts should he give himself a chance. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win after eight attempts over hurdles but frequently placed and made a most encouraging return from a long absence when a staying-on third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August; has been given plenty of time to get over that run and he's one of the likelier ones off the same mark back down in distance. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In good form under both codes since April, winning once on the Flat and three times over hurdles, latest when scoring comfortably on his first attempt at 2m6f at Stratford eight days ago; escapes a penalty for that success and could have more to offer over this even longer trip; key player. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
In good form on the Flat (one win) and over hurdles (two wins) since returning from a break in the spring; not yet proven over this far but recent 2m1f Flat third offers hope he could have untapped potential as a staying hurdler. |
11/8 |

17th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |

Has got himself high in the weights over hurdles but has continued to run well in recent weeks; assured stayer who is only 3lb higher than for his 2m1f win at Bath back in the spring. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from 12-week break with poor run last month and is now 0-7 over fences but was close second off this mark to a dual subsequent winner at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) in March; player if back on song. |

Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) in March having looked the likely winner; leading contender from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort. |

Unimproved for the switch to handicaps this year, already backpedalling when the mistakes started to creep in late at Fontwell latest (2m6f, good); insufficiently appealing from 2lb out of the handicap. |

Bumper winner; second to Sweet Caryline at Fontwell and went one better when getting up in the nick of time at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft); up 4lb and add another 1lb for being out of the weights; clearly a contender. |
