16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
With new yard for last two outings and contributed to their recent good form with a C&D win (good to soft) from Another Lord ten days ago, with his usual tongue-tie removed; has 7lb penalty and a 7lb claimer is recruited; probably as good as ever but a bit more may be needed from him. |

Rather inconsistent for Tim Vaughan since Taunton win in 2022 and made low-key stable debut last month, but has possibilities in this lower grade if that recent outing brought him on. |

Veteran is still to register a victory in this sphere but he arrives in solid form, fourth of seven in 2m5f handicap at Newton Abbot 19 days ago; shortlisted. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Veteran who has been lightly raced in recent years but proved he retains ability when a respectable third over C&D (good to soft) in July; has a soft-ground win on his CV; each-way claims at least. |
14/1 |

3rd 9 |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Veteran who has been very lightly raced in recent years; not disgraced in heavy-ground hurdle in March, after a one-year absence, but we haven't seen him since and his current ability is tricky to gauge. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won three chases last year from 2m4f to 2m5f when the ground was no slower than good to soft; latest return to chasing at Ffos Las was underwhelming, even allowing for the trip of 2m3f. |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three chases over slightly longer trips last year when the ground was no slower than good to soft; current mark won't be easy but this race is a better fit than the novice hurdle he contested last time. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Better known as a chaser these days, with three of his four wins in that discipline gained last year; returns to hurdling over a trip short of his best and looks vulnerable. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won three times over 3m2f here (always on good ground) during productive campaign last season; needs career-best performance to overcome this rise in grade but returns here after respectable fourth over today's trip at Cartmel (good) last month. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ended last season with two hard-fought wins at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when well-held fourth at Bangor (3m, good) in June but current mark demands a career-best performance and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Thriving over Sedgefield's extended 3m2f latterly, needing every yard of it last time (good) in order to complete a double; new career-high mark asks a question, and the return to 3m isn't certain to suit. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Generally very disappointing since her win off 3lb higher at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) in October but stopped the rot when second of four at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last month and has possibilities if in the right mood again; cheekpieces refitted. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 150y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Added to her hurdle win in France when scoring over fences at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) in October but she's struggled since and was beaten a long way back over hurdles two weeks ago; goes back up in trip but she's still above her last winning mark and has plenty to prove back over fences. |

17th Oct 2024 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |

Three-time chase winner who returned to form from out of the blue with a second at Market Rasen (3m, good); softer ground would temper enthusiasm but fair chance otherwise. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

14th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran quite well from the front when fourth at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in December but this regressive 8yo is yet to add to his maiden hurdle win in spring 2021 and is not the percentage call; 1lb out of the handicap. |
12/1 |

30th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Now 13lb lower than when placed in good-ground hurdle in the spring but was soundly beaten in two chases this autumn (2m7f/3m1f) and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

Won over fences here (2m, good) in June 2023 but was well beaten here on both starts this autumn (2m4f hurdle/3m chase); still has stamina to prove over this sort of trip and is 3lb wrong today; others preferred. |

All three chase wins in 2023, at 2m3f-2m5f (good and good to soft) so is on a losing run but she's been in good form on soft over the winter and the return to good ground will be appreciated; in the mix. |

19-race maiden who was pulled upon chasing debut last December and hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles since; 5lb out of the weights; not the obvious answer. |
