28th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 51y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Strike-rate of 5-12 over fences and was highly tried before making the most of a good opportunity at Newbury (2m handicap on good to firm); this looks another good piece of placing even with his penalties. |

11th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Tough and consistent novice chaser; not disgraced behind a very useful rival in match race at Plumpton (2m3f) most recently, though proved no match for the winner; has bits of Grade 2 form but this is a harder task; bottom of this field on ratings. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
9yo who has been lightly raced since showing promise in novice hurdles in September 2022 but he returned to form with a close second at Hexham (2m4f, good) recently on his second start back from an absence and a repeat of that performance will put him firmly in the picture. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Runner-up in C&D maiden in September 2022; lightly raced and generally very disappointing since but was not disgraced at Perth last month, after a long absence, and is worth a glance in the betting. |
25/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Promising in 2022 but lengthy absences are a feature in his profile and was tailed off in two handicaps last year. |

9th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed some promise in a couple of bumpers when previously with this trainer; well beaten in two of his three hurdle races (both 2m) for Iain Jardine in September but did better over 2m5f on his penultimate run; may progress now entering handicaps. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up over hurdles last May but this 8yo has struggled to get competitive on his four starts since, one of those being on the Flat; races for the first time since last September and others make greater appeal. |
40/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
A good runner-up at Perth (2m4f) in May but he's shown little in three runs since, pulled up back there (2m4f) nine days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

8th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
took keen hold, led, headed 2nd, joined leader 5th, led again 4 out, rallied when headed run-in, no extra towards finish |
9/2 |

4th 7 |
17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Didn't jump great when winning at Southwell (2m, good to soft) but the hot favourite in second was even worse in that department; it could be dodgy form but they did at least pull clear; raised 5lb. |
