7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Winning pointer; 18 defeats under rules equally divided between hurdles and fences; however, accepted the new cheekpieces when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last time and that run offers hope. |

10st 13lb |
Winning pointer who is 0-17 under rules and 0-8 as a chaser; he does have placed form in this discipline but his last three efforts have been well below his best, the latest after wind surgery; bit risky with cheekpieces turned to. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-6 over fences when trained by Keiran Burke and absent since modest third in first-time blinkers (now removed) at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) last September; 7lb lower for this stable debut but others look safer. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Returned from one-year absence with low-key 2m run at Chepstow last weekend; probably needed that outing and this longer trip will suit him better but he'd appeal more over even further and/or on slower ground. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won three times in early part of year and was back in good nick when close fourth (hampered close home) over C&D (good) last month but may find others better handicapped in this stronger race; cheekpieces refitted. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times in early part of this year, most recently here (3m2f, good) in April, but seemed to have gone off the boil on last two outings in May/June and current mark demands a career-best performance. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Took this 12 months ago; winless since but he didn't enjoy a smooth run when sixth of eight in 3m1f handicap chase at Cartmel in May; no surprise to see this three-time course scorer play a prominent role back here. |
13/2 |

6th 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
A three-time scorer (including over C&D) last season; hinted at a revival when a never-nearer fifth over 3m4f at Taunton last month so needs considering off a slipping mark. |
10/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time chase winne, the latest at Ffos Las (3m4f, good) off this mark in October; has been below par in three runs since but his usual cheekpieces are back on and he may appreciate this better ground. |

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. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 |
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. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
1-14 as a chaser; won at Stratford in September (2m6f, good) and fair efforts since then; can go well if fitness isn't an issue on first run since October. |
