Won over fences here (3m2f, good) for Barry Brennan last summer and has posted a couple of good efforts in that sphere this season; reverts to hurdling off lower mark for new stable here; could have a say. |

Well beaten over hurdles at Worcester in September but was returning from a 104-day break and chasing is his game nowadays; won two in a row over fences at Southwell (3m, good) in the spring and he's a strong contender if back on song today. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual chase winner for Suzy Smith in 2021; returned from 881-day absence with heavy defeat over hurdles here (3m2f, good) for new stable three weeks ago but ran well to a point and may benefit from this drop back in trip; 2lb wrong but worth a second look. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual chase winner in the spring of 2021 but he'd lost his form when last seen in November 2023; impossible to predict what this stable debut will produce but he's on a dangerous mark and the market should give firm indications. |

Enjoying a fine summer with two Stratford wins and shade unfortunate (slipping saddle) when second at Southwell latest; another 6lb rise in stronger company asks a lot from this 13yo, however. |

Hasn't been seen since February but last October's Stratford close second (off this mark) came after two years away; appears to stay 3m but both wins at shorter and this isn't the track for those with suspect stamina. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 5 |

2m4f course winner who returned from a long absence with a good second at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good) in October; below par next time and he's since unseated (six out) over this C&D, but he was going okay at the time and is not ruled out in first-time cheekpieces. |

21st Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Lost his way over fences for Joe Tizzard, and debut effort returned to hurdles for new connections extended his run of non-completions to four; likely hopes rest more on wind surgery than a further 3lb drop. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Point winner who went 0-9 under rules for Joe Tizzard (in same ownership) and failed to complete in his last three chases; placed in two novice hurdles earlier in career and on a dangerous mark if new trainer can get him going again. |
