19th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive novice who was suited by the return to a left-handed track when winning at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last month; also effective on soft/heavy; this is a tougher test of his credentials than last time but he's up just 2lb and could continue to improve for last year's winning yard. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner in May on his second start for James Owen and was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races; now on a recovery mission. |

3rd 2 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Looked a hard ride when second at Bangor (3m, good) but travelled sweeter with the blinkers back on at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) and just missed out; nudged up another 3lb but has to be respected. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Has placed form but he's 0-16 under rules (12 defeats over hurdles) and latest run wasn't his best; now goes in cheekpieces. |

10st 7lb |
Fell at first flight at Doncaster a fortnight ago and now 0-11 over hurdles, but shaped well when third at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and that performance makes him a player here. |

2nd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 2m 1f 47y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in a bumper and made promising start to Flat career last summer but both handicap runs this year have been very disappointing; first-time cheekpieces need to revive his fortunes. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Chase/hurdle winner who won on the AW at Lingfield in February 2025; hasn't been in top form on his last couple of runs over hurdles; on a fair mark now. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |
