20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
No win since November 2022 and he's struggled for form in recent starts, joining this trainer for the last three and well beaten in a 2m selling hurdle here on latest; visor applied for just his second attempt - last of five in the other - over fences; unlikely candidate. |

Inconsistent on the Flat in recent months but has run a couple of good races and he's on a competitive mark judged on his hurdle form in autumn 2022; not ruled out on first jumps outing since that December. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |

Last season's best hurdle form included a 3m win on good ground but below that level so far this campaign; latest run was a tad more encouraging. |

21st May 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Below par on last two hurdle starts but may have needed recent run; on a competitive mark on last season's best hurdle form (won over 3m on good ground) and this 6yo showed ability in a point-to-point in May 2022; interesting contender on chase debut. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
12yo whose seven wins have been registered at either Market Rasen or Carlisle; latest was last April and she's now 9lb lower after a lean spell, but there were major signs of a revival on latest start before she fell (held in second at the final flight); considered but this may not be her track. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time C&D scorer, including in this race 12 months ago; well below par this term, coming in last of 14 over C&D 20 days ago but this veteran mare still can't be totally dismissed from a plummeting mark. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran mare who has won seven races, three of them over C&D, but hasn't been in the best of form this season and others appeal more. |

11st 10lb |
Hurdles record of 5-32 includes wins over 3m on good ground at Wetherby in October and Haydock latest start; holding his form well and is better than ever; may remain competitive. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Running well at present and he followed a Wetherby win (3m) in October with a solid third at Bangor (2m7f, also good), despite giving Joe Anderson a workout, 12 days later; has form on soft and is one to consider. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Arguably posted career-best performance when winning at Warwick (3m, good) 12 days ago, but is 6lb higher in a stronger race and not always one to rely upon; others appeal more. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Returned to form at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) on Wednesday, when he was reeled in after blasting off in front but kept on gamely for second; also suited by this C&D and a recent 2lb drop has now taken effect but he had a hard race at Perth and has become inconsistent. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Veteran; 12-94, four of those wins coming at his beloved Perth; showed up well for much of the contest at Hexham (2m, soft; third, beaten 33l) on Saturday evening, before tiring markedly on the uphill climb; the better ground is in his favour here but this is a quick turnaround. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Has won ten of his 82 races, including over this C&D in June 2024 (good); should be all the better for last month's reappearance run at Perth; interesting. |
