1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
All three of his wins came in autumn 2022; running creditably this season, including over 3m2f, but he could not hold his own in a valuable handicap at Ascot on latest occasion and it's likely to be the same story today unless first-time cheekpieces receive a very positive response. |

Record of 0-5 for current stable; consistent efforts at Uttoxeter (twice, in the summer) and Bangor (autumn) this season but faces a stiffer task in this field. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Triple Flat winner who is 1-13 over hurdles; that jumps win was by 11l in a Newton Abbot handicap (2m2f, good) in May but he's 9lb higher here and was held back in a novice at Stratford (2-1) last month; others are more persuasive. |

3rd 1 |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took 12 goes to get off the mark over hurdles but it was very easy under Megan Bevan in a 2m2f handicap at Newton Abbot 12 days ago when in first-time cheekpieces; that was on good ground but he can deal with it softer; strong form claims even with the penalty. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden who has been making the frame on a regular basis until finishing last of five at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; hard to fancy for win purposes. |
12/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Only three completed when runner-up last week at Plumpton (2m4f, good) and that extended his losing sequence under rules to 36. |

2nd 4 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
0-35, often placed; recent respectable efforts suggest he's on a tough mark but he's versatile regarding trip and Murray Dodd can claim his full allowance on this occasion, so he should still be competitive. |

A sixth win over hurdles when beating three rivals with a bit in hand at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); got off lightly with just a 1lb nudge; respected. |
7/2 |

1st 2 |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner (2m-2m5f) on varying ground; made an encouraging return when staying on for second at Hereford (2m3f, good) last month; the drop back in trip isn't ideal but he should still have a part to play. |
7/1 |

2nd 3 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Five-time hurdle winner, including over 2m5f here in October when ridden by Isabelle Ryder, form which gives him a solid chance; beaten 35l at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and needs to bounce back but he's won off a similar break in the past. |

3rd Oct 2022 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Not prolific but his win came on Tapeta and he has dropped a long way in the weights; no surprise to see him go well and looks the pick of Tony Carroll's three runners. |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who is 5-10 over fences but the handicapper is beginning to look in charge and he worryingly refused to race last week at Market Rasen; cheekpieces are soon turned to. |
9/2 |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Free-going front-runner with 5-9 strike-rate over fences; unable to justify favouritism but still ran well before weakening into third at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, and could be hard to catch here if that run has brought him on. |
5/2 |

3rd 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Front-runner who is 5-8 over fences and he found more progress when runner-up in the Durham National (3m5f, good) in October; this is a different test on his return but he still looks on a workable mark and was successful over 2m4f last spring; has worn a hood in all of his chase runs but the headgear is missing today. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Seven-time chase winner who developed into a useful performer last season; below form at Uttoxeter recently and tricky to weigh up over hurdles but still looks tempting, given he's 27lb lower in this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
9th 7 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Chase record is 7-20, the most recent success in veterans' contest at Ascot (3m, good) in March; couple of sound efforts since demonstrate that he remains in form aged ten; faces a tougher assignment off current mark in this field, however. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Made all in three-runner contest at Ascot (3m, good) in March and arguably bettered that form when close/clear second at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) last month; might be a shade vulnerable off new mark but at least we know he's in excellent nick. |
