17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at Warwick in January last time but was in pretty good heart towards the end of last year and he's now 1lb lower than when winning at Haydock (3m, good) last March; also handles soft; capable of going well. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Haydock win over a similar trip last March; does have a lot of weight though and was only fifth at Haydock last time, finishing just behind Gwennie May Star. |

Not well handicapped but arrives here after a 3l second of eight at Uttoxeter when tried in cheekpieces (2m7f, good); no reason why he won't be involved once more. |

Might be glad to see the back of fences but it's been a long time since he showed his true form over hurdles. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Started off for current stable with three heavy defeats over hurdles last summer (2m-2m4f) and was again well beaten when reappearing in a recent 2m chase here; big leap of faith required to support him. |

Started off for current stable with three heavy defeats over hurdles last summer; reverts to chasing after 284-day absence; big leap of faith required to support him. |

17th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Built upon promise shown for Rebecca Menzies when winning Musselburgh handicap (2m4f, good to soft) by 24l on last month's stable debut; tackles stronger opposition and has penalty to carry here but still respected. |

Showed enough in qualifying runs to be competitive on handicap debut at Sedgefield but found little (2m5f, good to soft); left Rebecca Menzies since; still time for better but takes on high-flying rivals. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Front-running chaser who can go clear in his races but he's not won since December 2023 and was pulled up in his last two runs over fences; on dangerous mark back in this sphere but he needs a major revival after six months off. |

15th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-French mare who was again beaten a fair way at Pontefract last time when having Vintage Valley behind over 2m5.6f; is on a competitive mark now though. |
12/1 |

24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fair fourth over 2m2f here (good to soft) last October and now 4lb lower; however, she was well beaten by the first two when third at Redcar (2m, soft) a fortnight ago when fit from hurdling; others appeal more. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
10th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-23 in France and 0-7 in Britain; hurdling hasn't worked out (refused to race on penultimate appearance, tailed off latest) and her one piece of solid handicap form last season is not enough to persuade. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Showed more than the distance beaten suggests at Ayr in December; floundered on heavy ground next time but won with something to spare on handicap debut back at Ayr last month (2m, soft); up 7lb; pedigree strongly suggests return to further will suit; major player. |

6th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Unexposed 6yo who appeared to display improvement when keeping on for respectable fifth in Hexham novice (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; upped in trip for today's handicap debut; could easily have more to offer. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won at Catterick off 5lb higher in January (1m7f, soft); poor efforts this term; stable going well but he has a bit to prove at present. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 |
14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and he was pulled up on last month's reappearance at Sedgefield, but he may have needed the run and his stable is currently in flying form; he's 1lb below his last winning mark and could go well. |
12/1 |

9th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has dropped to a mark 1lb lower than when winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January, and he's effective over C&D; watch the betting but there's a suspicion he'll need this first outing since April. |
