21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time hurdle winner (2m-2m3f) who is still seeking a first chase success after four attempts over fences, though he's gone close on a couple of occasions; the drop in trip will not be an issue and he's not yet fully exposed, but he'll need to step up on those efforts if he's to break his duck. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time hurdle winner (2m-2m3f); not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but ran well in defeat over fences at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last month and has possibilities if this new trip suits. |
8/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently off this mark at Exeter (2m, good) in November; made a promising chase debut in May when a staying-on second at Huntingdon (2m, good) but never involved at Newton Abbot (2m, good to soft) last month, shaping on both occasions as though a step back up in trip would help; player. |

18th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Did not progress after promising bumper debut for Paul Nicholls in autumn 2022 but bettered low-key stable/hurdle debut when making steady late headway for fifth at Plumpton (2m, soft) last month, and has each-way claims at least here. |

Rewarded very patient Gavin Sheehan ride when winning here (2m3f, good to soft) last month but has a very mixed record this year and her current mark probably demands a career-best performance. |

Likely unsuited by soft ground last time and is better judged on her respectable form earlier in November; however, has something to prove back over 2m, having looked best at 2m3f/2m4f. |

Ex-Irish; yet to win in 11 runs under rules and hasn't shown much in his two outings for this yard; plenty to prove at present. |

Dam sister to high-class Mighty Man; beaten 38l, however, in his first bumper, reportedly bled next time and pulled up on hurdle debut latest. |

5th Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Didn't live up to market expectations on sole bumper start; has failed to improve in two attempts over hurdles; may do better when switched to handicaps. |

From a French jumping family; beaten about 39l when sixth of nine on bumper debut at Hereford (good to soft) in November but was made favourite for that race and is presumably thought capable of much better. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to score but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 2m handicap here in February; the winner and third there have both gone in since, so he's a player off an unchanged mark. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-16, but C&D second on October's return from two years out took course record to 322; longer trip excuses flop next time, but Windsor disappointment latest is trickier to forgive, unless he simply doesn't act on that day's good ground any longer; as likely to revive here as anywhere. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Absent since September 2023 and untested on ground slower than good to soft but has a largely consistent record (albeit 0-9) over hurdles; returns on a good mark and with Sean Bowen booked; market reference recommended. |

Returned to hurdling after a layoff with a narrow win at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November; has had another break since but still looks on a workable mark and has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; shortlisted. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Runner-up on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last May, despite some rather sketchy jumping, and returned from a layoff with good hurdle run in January; below form twice since, though (chase/hurdle), and needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |
