10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Standing dish here with all five career wins having come at the venue and on slow ground, including over this trip; produced one of his better efforts when second here last Boxing Day but not as good since; back on a very handy mark and can go well. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time course winner (2m3f/2m5f) who was second here on Boxing Day and has had excuses on both starts since, namely the 3m2f trip here then a different course (Market Rasen); could play a leading role back here. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
All five wins over fences have been at Sedgefield; didn't appear to get home there over 3m2f (good to soft) when seventh of nine finishers last month but best to wait until he returns to his favourite venue at a more suitable trip. |

Winless since April 2022, and he beat only one in 3m handicap hurdle here 25 days ago; visor is reached for with lots to find. |

1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
In the frame over fences all five starts for current stable, including a 10l win at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May; good second when upped to 3m at Bangor (good) in June latest and looks set for another bold show. |
3/1 |

2nd 6 |
28th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Evan Williams; off the mark for new yard when winning by 10l at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month and he went very close under a penalty there seven days later; now 4lb higher at this new trip but he rallied well last time and has quite a lot of stamina on dam's side; key player. |

15th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed clear signs of a return to form at Catterick (2m3f, good) last time, sticking on for second; remains 5lb below last winning mark; one for the shortlist. |

2nd 2 |
3rd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed a hat-trick early last year and she's well handicapped on that form; she's one to watch in the betting but has to perform considerably better than on her final three starts towards the end of last year. |
25/1 |
|
7th 11 |
28th Dec 2022 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Landed the second hat-trick of her career early in the year, one she completed off a 2lb higher mark; two poor efforts back from a summer break leave her hard to back today though. |
