13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Two-time chase winner who was a 9l second in this race 12 months ago (good); gets a pull in the weights with the winner Brandy McQueen from their clash at Catterick (3m1f, good) last month but he was soundly beaten in second and has work to do today. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won over hurdles and twice over fences for Tom Ellis in 2024 (3m, good/good to soft); won a four-runner point for this yard in January but well beaten last time; has no easy task |

2nd 2 |
14th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Twice a 3m chase winner at Fakenham before bagging the hat-trick in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle in November; pulled up on final two handicap chase runs for Tom Ellis but still considered for in-form new yard here. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Formerly with Christian Williams; has gone 2-2 for current yard with hard-fought wins at Cartmel (2m5f) and Hexham (2m4f; again on good); defied a 3lb rise last time and has gone up another 4lb, but something seems to have clicked. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Career-low mark at his disposal when recording an emotional success for new connections at Cartmel in August (2m5f, good) and 3lb rise for that appears fair; winless around a course this stiff but does have stamina to spare over intermediate trips (winner at up to 3m2f); chance. |

1st 4 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Novice handicap chase winner but he wasn't the most consistent for Christian Williams; makes a quick return having signed off for that yard with fair second at Stratford (about 3m3f, good to firm) last Thursday; would probably welcome rain turning this into a stamina test and a popular win for his new owner can't be ruled out. |

19th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Lacked fluency when fourth in two 3m Fakenham chases this autumn and now reverts to hurdling; will be suited by today's drop back in trip, though, and and won't mind the forecast rain; can exploit a favourable mark. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

2m5f good-ground winner last summer off 6lb higher; hardly consistent though and never went a yard at Warwick last month; now tries cheekpieces. |

5th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Scored at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last June and was in contention before penultimate-fence fall at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in December but last season's record was rather mixed and we haven't seen him since a poor performance in January. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Took advantage of his lowest-ever mark to score over fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July; returns to hurdles for the first time since November 2023 and will do well to follow up. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game. |
