3rd Feb 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ended long losing run when scoring off 1lb lower at Southwell (2m, Tapeta) in November; some creditable efforts since but his form nosedived at Southwell 11 days ago and he needs to bounce back from that heavy defeat. |

Infrequent winner but he's consistent in the main; however, he was behind Further Measure two runs back and was never that threatening at Wolverhampton last weekend. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Course winner (2m) who bids a for hat-trick after wins at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and on her Nottingham return under Donagh Murphy (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected. |

1st 2 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who won this race (good) on her reappearance in 2024 and she ended last season with a 12l win at Ffos Las (2m, heavy; made all); 7lb higher on her return but she still looks on a workable mark and won't mind what the weather does; key player for in-form yard. |

Won over 2m1f on heavy ground last year and went in again at the expense of two rivals on good to firm this summer; nothing wrong with her latest effort in a Class 2 over 1m6f at Bath (soft). |

14th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Raced a bit too freely in headgear (now removed) on last couple of outings but still ran pretty well on both occasions and is now only 1lb higher than when winning comfortably over C&D last summer; shortlisted. |

22nd Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
His record in Class 6 handicaps reads -111221; not at his best in an amateur riders' event at Southwell two weeks ago (1m6f) but ought to be seen in a better light today; strong candidate in first-time cheekpieces. |

10st 5lb |
Returned from layoff with two modest efforts towards end of last season (2m/2m1f) and remains without a win since 2023; yet to convince stamina-wise over this sort of trip; difficult to enthuse over. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 5 |

Won twice on turf in France (1m1f/10.5f) in France in March 2021, but 0-15 under both codes subsequently; makes his debut for a new yard after 18 months off and this is unlikely to be far enough for him now; watch market. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

1st 4 (8) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Likeable sort who is back in fine form of late and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging a pair of 1m6f/1m4f handicaps at Southwell; up another 3lb but he rates a big player once more. |

11st 4lb |
Lightly raced since his two very underwhelming hurdle runs for Derek Shaw in summer 2024 and returned from 318-day absence with 19l defeat off basement Flat mark last month; swaps hood for refitted cheekpieces; tongue-tie a first. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Triple course winner (1m6f/2m) but his last success was in December 2022 and he didn't pose a threat in just two runs last year; returns after 318 days off and he has some work to do back in trip; hood reapplied. |
