27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
5-9 over fences, the latest win gained in very strongly run race at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in May; well down the field in two competitive contests since but in calmer waters today and has a fighting chance if back on song. |
5/1 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Flat background; made a successful return to fences (fifth win in this discipline) at Cartmel (2m1f, good) and didn't give himself a chance at Uttoxeter by racing too freely; wouldn't be a certain stayer over this far. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Returned from break with two low-key Flat runs this year but came from behind to win Cartmel chase (2m1f, good) comfortably by 6l when back over jumps last month; was probably flattered by the way that very strongly run race panned out but is now 5-7 over fences (including a C&D win). |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best. |
14/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won three in a row (1m7f/2m, good-soft) prior to heavy defeat at Windsor a fortnight ago; however, the ground was soft, heavy in places last time which may have been too demanding, and he's not written off today. |
16/1 |

11th 12 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won on the Flat in September and also successful on four of his five hurdle starts since, including on soft ground and in good style at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last time; he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but he's clearly thriving and could go well once more. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance. |
15/2 |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected. |
3/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enjoys good ground; bumped into the enigmatic Numitor on a good day at Hereford last month (2m5f) but this 10yo also struggles with his consistency; he's capable but risky enough. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Completed the hat-trick at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) on Monday; carries a 4lb penalty for that and stays 1m4f fine, so likely to have a major role to play again under Sarah Bowen, if electing to stand his ground. |
5/2 |

1st 1 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims. |

20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Two runs for this yard; pulled up on Stratford debut (favourite) and well beaten (behind Turpin Gold) at Uttoxeter latest; aids left off and Harry Cobden takes over but deal to prove on recent evidence. |
20/1 |

2nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Flat/hurdles winner for Alan King; didn't live up to market expectations at Stratford (2m2f) on debut for new stable, having pulled too hard; however, may settle better with hood now added and current mark is very workable; one to consider. |
8/1 |

20th Jun 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual AW winner who made a successful start over hurdles here last June (2m); however he achieved little in handicaps subsequently and left Alan King for £11,000; hard to assess on debut for new yard with tongue-tie fitted. |

13th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Six wins on Flat and over hurdles but ended his time with Gary Moore on a low note and little sign of a revival for new yard; limited appeal with first-time visor replacing cheekpieces and tongue-tie discarded. |

22nd Jan 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Became disappointing for Gary Moore last season (often racing lazily) and was safely held on stable debut at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November; subsequent wind op might have helped but others look less risky. |

25th Nov 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent and unraced beyond 2m4f but was found to be lame when well beaten here last month and he scored at Bangor (2m3f, good) the time before; won here (2m, good) last season and not written off today. |
7/1 |

10th Oct 2023 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |

Has very mixed record since winning four-runner juvenile hurdle here a year ago but doubled his tally with hard-fought success at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month and has the services of Sean Bowen again here. |
