16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Safely held at last month's Aintree festival but back in calmer waters here and now back on same mark as for win at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) in December; will be fine over this trip; might be the answer. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who hasn't had much racing for his age and has been progressive this term, with wins at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) and Haydock (2m4f, good to soft); however, below par at Carlisle in February last time and, even if back on song, there's a firm suspicion this will prove too competitive. |

Two wins towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m4f, good to soft) and 8l second to progressive winner at Doncaster (2m, soft) last time; he can give another good account and is one to consider. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Posted handicap hat-trick at the end of last season and was better than ever when comfortably landing a Grade 2 at Haydock (3m, good to soft) this February; a case can be made on that form but he was tailed off in a Grade 1 at Aintree (3m, good) just three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Absent since comfortable success in small field at Haydock (3m1f, good) six months ago; faces a stiffer task from 5lb out of weights in this better race and seems unlikely to follow up. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won smoothly on soft ground in this race last year (7lb higher today); handicapper has had the call since but seconds at Warwick (3m5f, good) and Haydock (3m4f, good) on last two outings showed that he should have a big say in this very small field. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over hurdles for Henry Daly here (2m5f, soft) last April and could appreciate the return to this sphere on today's stable debut (bought for £4,000); however, he was pulled up over fences in the autumn on his last two runs and there's a question mark regarding his current form. |

27th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ended last season with a hurdle win at Wincanton (2m5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in April; pulled up on chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, soft) last month but that was without headgear and he may have needed the run; should have a future in this sphere and he needs watching in market with cheekpieces reapplied. |

11st 1lb |
Threatened in a Carlisle handicap (2m1f, good to soft) in March but has struggled since then, though the terms weren't favourable back in a novice last time; has enough to prove on balance. |

1st May 2023 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Soundly beaten in first two handicap hurdles but was clear second at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in March, having been heavily backed; not in same form when returned to Southwell last month but will be dangerous if back on song in first-time cheekpieces here. |

Three-time hurdle winner on good ground (2m5f-3m); still early days over fences and he's getting the hang of things judged on his second at Fakenham (3m5f), albeit in a very small field; thereabouts. |

Won over hurdles here (2m7f, good) a year ago; tailed off (bled from the nose) on chase debut in October but was not beaten far when reappearing over hurdles last month and may yet have a future over fences. |

Fell short in three handicaps at 2m-2m5f for previous yard last spring; had wind surgery since and a tongue-tie now replaces the hood; no great appeal back from layoff unless the betting says otherwise. |

Struggled after racing too freely on handicap debut in March (2m4f) and was unable to land a telling blow when fifth in first-time hood at Bangor (2m, good) last month; remains unexposed but stable's other runner Hollow Run appeals much more. |
