25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Absent 666 days before this season; well treated on 2022 form when he sprung back to life at Goodwood (2m, heavy) 12 days ago, winning the same race he took two years ago and this time doing it easily by 17l; well treated under a 5lb penalty (due to go up another 4lb) and 5lb claimer is recruited; form dipped when he came on to this race in 2022 but he clearly has a huge chance if repeating the Goodwood form. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Minor honours in his last four AW races (1m5f/2m) but well beaten in his only two turf starts this term and absent since June; he has won twice but is not straightforward and does not look the percentage call; yard runs four. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Strong traveller who's far from easy and has hung both ways (normally to the left); arrives in good form for a yard among the winners, though, and is on a mark off which he can win when things fall right. |

Hurdle winner who got off the mark on the Flat over C&D in December; couple of creditable thirds here since then but he flopped at Ascot (last of eight) last month and needs to bounce back after that 13l defeat; stablemate of Donald Llewellyn. |

Last season over hurdles ended on a low note at this meeting; solid for most of this term, switched to fences for last five starts and winning twice in small fields; put firmly in his place in Grade 1 novice events over 2m4f here in February and particularly at Aintree last time, but this return to a handicap will also demand a career best. |

Experienced hurdler who won Grade 2 novice on chase debut at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) in December and made it 2-4 over fences in warm little handicap at Exeter (2m1f, good) last time; ran well behind two of these in Grade 2 at Kempton in February but likely to be vulnerable in this company. |

10st 11lb |
A rising force in the last 15 months and that's gained serious momentum in his last two starts, when winning easily by 7l at Newbury (extended 2m7f, good to soft) and 5l in the Sussex National at Plumpton (3m5f, good); strong-travelling sort who's now seeing out his races really well too; up another 10lb but could still have more in the locker. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |

Won over C&D (good) last March and reappeared with creditable third of 16 at Windsor (3m4f, soft) in January; bounced back from lesser run with convincing win at Newbury (2m7f, good to soft) last month and this progressive 7yo may be able to take a 9lb rise in his stride. |

Fine return to action when close third over 3m4f at Windsor (soft; handles good) in January, but he was a bit disappointing over this C&D next time and needs to bounce back. |

11st 5lb |
Eight-race maiden who ran creditably in a hood over 1m6f on three outings this summer, on final occasion staying on from well off the pace when fourth on soft at Goodwood; cheekpieces instead when running poorly at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) 16 days ago, hanging left, but he now reverts to a hood. |

Unraced since a hurdles win in May 2023; looked a good-ground specialist in that sphere and his Flat win on soft was in 2020 in his French days. |

14th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 3 |

Recent form figures make grim reading but he's very much a good ground specialist and has plenty of form which gives him decent claims; not written off in a hurry and Rob Hargreaves taking off 8lb no hardship either. |

12th May 2023 Soft 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |

Dual winning hurdler on good ground (2m/2m3f) but tailed off when trying 2m5f on soft at Christmas and non-completions on both starts this spring; now reverts to Flat, in which sphere he has appeared in three 2m handicaps but not achieved much; down the weights. |

Eight-race maiden, with in-and-out form when sent handicapping on last four starts; stays 1m6f on good to soft but not so hot when finishing 13l behind the winner on heavy ground latest outing and he was also below form on sole attempt at 2m; today's switch of headgear might be a positive. |

AW debut (20-1) over 2m last time did not go well but he showed fair form in four of five previous races, including when staying-on fourth of six in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f) on penultimate outing; now swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and he's not entirely ruled out. |

In good form on AW Flat last spring and returned from an absence for 50-1 win on handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February; weakened quickly in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (soft) but perhaps a return to less testing ground may help. |

Won on the Flat for Hughie Morrison in 2024 but was soundly beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles for Sheila Lewis in 2024-25 season; makes stable/handicap hurdle debut after 462-day absence; could be considered only if lively in the betting. |
