23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Scored twice over fences (around 3m) in March 2024; back from two years off in good nick, runner-up over 3m2f at Chepstow last month; can race off the same mark here so he's a player with Harry Cobden taking over. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |

Not an unlucky loser, but may have run Broomfields Cave closer at Wincanton latest without pecking two out (3m1f, good); respected now back on track, though notably remains winless around a galloping track. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double over fences at Taunton (2m7f, soft) in March 2024 but he's returned from 690 days off with two underwhelming runs (hurdles/chase) this spring; looks well handicapped on his old form but he needs to raise his game on this drop back in trip. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Went close over C&D in May but has become rather unreliable and latest third here was quite remote; still needs respecting in this bad a race. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Stayed on from the rear to go close off today's mark over C&D (good) in May but has poor strike-rate in recent years and is unreliable nowadays; chance probably depends upon what mood he's in. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |

Veteran who was beaten just a neck when last seen at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May, but he isn't very consistent and has a moderate strike-rate; others preferred. |

Hurdle/chase winner and won a minor point in January; has pulled up on his final two runs under rules (chasing) and he's down the pecking order here. |

11st 9lb |
Just five starts; shaped quite well on hurdling debut in March but well beaten the following month and finished last on recent return; facing questions though switch to handicaps with blinkers on could provide answers. |

6th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Questionable what he achieved when third of four runners on his hurdling debut at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and he was then a disappointing favourite here (2m6f); retains potential but rather watch first time back. |

C&D winner for Gary Hanmer in summer 2023 and placed for Rebecca Menzies last year; not at best for new stable this spring but wasn't beaten far on either occasion and returns to this track on a tempting mark. |

3-34 overall, with last win in July 2023; third over 3m2f on two of four starts for Rebecca Menzies last May-July and not disgraced 13 days ago for new yard after 265-day absence; others are a bit more persuasive, though. |
