24th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Unseated rider at the first hurdle on his racecourse debut one year ago; went on to win his next two starts in juvenile hurdles before finishing down the field in the Fred Winter; beaten a neck here when last seen in April; had wind surgery prior to this reappearance/chase debut and wears a tongue-strap for the first time; interesting in receipt of his 4yo allowance. |

Dual hurdle winner against own age-group this season, latterly at Ludlow (2m, soft) in January; found Cheltenham Festival handicap too hot last month but is back in much calmer waters here and commands respect. |

22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A dual hurdle winner for Milton Harris; well beaten on the Flat on first two starts for this stable in June and only made a satisfactory start to his chasing career when a well-held third at Plumpton (2m1f, good; second has won since) last month; has a fitness edge over some and not ruled out with that experience behind him, off 5lb lower. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 214y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Placed over hurdles for Milton Harris last autumn but returned from layoff with two poor Flat runs for new stable in June/July and has too much to prove on this chasing debut. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat but has scored over 2m and 2m4f as a hurdler; his significant Flat form was in 2022 and he was tailed off on recent return to Flat for new yard after eight months off; others have more pressing claims. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Returned from long absence with a promising stable debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, when he travelled strongly for a long way, and he was unlucky to be brought down fairly early on at Hexham this month; remains well handicapped on old form; might be the answer. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Ex-Nigel Hawke; fair fifth after a long break on stable debut at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good to soft; 3-1); should come on for that; one with a chance. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improver over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien, winning at Taunton (2m) and Market Rasen (2m4f) in the first half of 2025; 14-1 for his return to the Flat at Yarmouth last month (11.5f, good to firm) and dropped away having been hassled up front; today's longer trip should be in his favour given stamina over hurdles. |
10/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Big personal best over hurdles in June when running away with a 2m5f Market Rasen 0-100 (good; RPR 111); no Flat runs since 2021-22 in France and only ever once beaten under 20l, but British Flat mark appropriately realistic and he's a danger to all if recent cheer translates to this code. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won in pretty good style at Taunton (2m, good to firm) in April, having rejoined Fergal O'Brien, and will be fine over this trip, but disappointed when warm favourite at Worcester last month and now has a point to prove. |

7th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hooded for the first time when scoring over hurdles at Ludlow (2m juvenile, good; favourite) in November; slowly away on both AW starts since wind surgery; easing steadily in the weights but others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

25th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt in a Goodwood seller (1m3f) last August when trained by Amanda Perrett and won over hurdles for this yard in November; hasn't shown much in a hurdle and two outings on the AW since (underwent wind surgery before penultimate start) and others appeal more. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
17th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose performer whose sole Flat win came in a Goodwood seller (1m3f) last summer and he was last of seven back in this sphere at Lingfield (1m4f; first run after wind surgery) last month; now drops back in grade but he's untried on Tapeta and others are preferred. |
