1st 5 (4) |
21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His mark continues to tumble and he's one to watch in the betting in reapplied cheekpieces with the slow ground in his favour; however, this 12yo has very much struggled on his four starts since last June. |

8th 9 (8) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Veteran who struggled in two runs last year and fared no better when last of six over 2m here six weeks ago; down in the weights but has too much to prove for now. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sixth in 2022 Chester Cup (sole visit); well handicapped on best 2024 form; now an 11yo, well beaten on final outing last season and his only start this term (June); the latter was on good ground, whereas it's softer (preferably soft or heavy) which has suited him best for a long time now. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Generally productive over hurdles but last few efforts leave a doubt over whether he'll be in top form returned to the Flat for first time since winning at Redcar (1m6f, soft) in November 2024. |
14/1 |

4th 6 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has won five of his 17 races over hurdles, including at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) and off 7lb lower at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) this season; not at his best on last two runs but could bounce back. |
5/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten at Catterick last month but perhaps that run came too soon, just six days after he completed a double in good style at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft); third in this last year and he could be involved. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
12st 5lb |
Finished strongly to force a dead heat with Ryebridge over C&D (good to soft) on his handicap hurdle debut 13 days ago; wore cheekpieces on that occasion but they are now replaced by the visor he wore regularly during his Flat career; retains handicapping scope on his useful form in that sphere. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Has made the frame in two races at Wetherby (2m) since switched to this code; opening hurdles mark is very attractive judged on best Flat form; possibilities. |
100/30 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
3lb lower than when winning at York (1m2f, soft) a year ago and very likely to have his optimum conditions, but a leap of faith is required following two poor efforts since returning from 308 days off last month. |

Six Flat wins for David Evans, all but one on AW; only turf win on good-to-firm; unfancied when pleasing third on hurdles debut at Cork; unseated at first at Leopardstown, 16-1 on that occasion. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins (three on AW at 1m6f and 2m) and was last seen finishing third in the 2024 Cesarewitch; has gone well over this shorter trip but can only be considered if market vibes are positive. |
14/1 |

3rd 13 (22) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Reached new heights during a pretty busy AW campaign prior to his creditable and none-too-lucky sixth in the 2m2f Chester Cup in May when last seen (finished lame); that was on good to firm and easily his best turf form, but he won on soft in 2022; withdrawn twice last month; on the Chester Cup evidence he could still be capable of better. |

8th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |

Failed to shine when tried over hurdles on last five starts; no significant impact last year on the Flat except for first time out but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he's not ruled in new headgear; both wins were in 2021 on heavy going. |

6th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps on turf for this yard last May; the handicapper has been in command this season but this represents a drop in class and she can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
27th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Has gained all Flat wins at up to 1m4f, including here; failed to convince with stamina over 1m6f at Newmarket (good) last month; still has something to prove at this trip. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Handicapper caught up after her two 1m4f wins in May 2022 but she continues to run with credit; not proven beyond 1m4f but it now looks worth a go and there are probably no ground worries for her; one of many with place claims. |

prominent, pushed along and weakened over 3f out (trainer's rep had no explanation for the poor form shown other than a report from the jockey that the filly stopped quickly; vet reported that a post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities) |

10th Oct 2022 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
