20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four hurdle wins, including this race in 2022; well held in C&D selling handicap in May, after a break, but last month's keeping-on second here was much better and he remains on a workable mark. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

He has competitive form here but not last month when tailed off in a selling handicap; that was after 167 days away but he had to show more. |

Absent since December but that was a good run at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) and he has competitive form here on good ground; one to consider. |

11st 6lb |
Beaten 9l and 5l when twice runner-up in May but didn't appear to give his true running when a beaten favourite at Southwell (behind Indian Sunbird); could be given another chance. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to take second twice last month (2m4f/2m3f, good; tongue-tie added), after a long layoff, and is likely to be suited by this move back up in trip; must be considered. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Hard-fought win back over hurdles at Hexham (2m) before a 10l defeat returned to fences; no great significance in the return of cheekpieces (blinkered last two races) but entitled to have some say. |
14/1 |

4th 4 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |

Won this race off today's mark a year ago (good; first-time blinkers) and reverts to chasing after hard-fought hurdle win here (2m, good; refitted blinkers) a fortnight ago; obvious contender. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won over fences here (2m, good; in first-time blinkers - two finished) last June; runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f) in April, but low key at Kelso subsequently; returns to hurdles for the first time since finishing tailed off over C&D last October; others more appealing. |

Not firing on all cylinders this year but handicapped accordingly now and has been placed twice this month; suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

Quite useful in his prime but has dropped a long way down the weights over the last year or so and did not look poised to capitalise when safely held at Market Rasen (a track he likes) on Saturday. |

Inconsistent last season and tailed off over C&D when last seen; however, he's posted wins over C&D on two of his last four starts (good to soft/good) and can be bang there if at the top of his game on this return. |

Won a Stratford novice (2m, good) last summer but after 486 days off he was pulled up on his handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, soft; weak 18-1 shot) last month; still unexposed in this sphere but that was a laboured effort last time and he is best watched unless market is persuasive. |

Has won two handicap hurdles on good ground and he's shaped a little better the last twice in two handicaps at Sandown (good to soft/soft); not bred for fences but has got himself well treated. |

5th 5 |
7th Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |

Has won two handicaps on good ground and there was some sign of a return to form when fourth (behind Mayhem Mya) over C&D 19 days ago when he weakened back into fourth; these conditions should be more suitable. |

23rd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Winner of four small-field hurdles at about 2m1f, on ground ranging from soft to good to firm; the latest one, at Leicester last November was as good as it's got but he ran poorly next time and also when back from a break in March; off again since and guesswork involved for now. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

4-10 over hurdles, the latest win gained in four-runner race at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm) in November; not seen since 60l defeat three months ago but should be fine on today's ground and is unexposed over 2m4f. |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner for Tom George who returned from a long absence with an encouraging third over hurdles on his stable debut at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in December; could build on that and he's one to consider. |
14/1 |

4th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |

Won over hurdles in France for Tom George in spring 2021 and, after a long layoff, outran 50-1 odds when placed for new yard at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in December; still very well handicapped on old form; could have a say. |

29th Jan 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Chase/hurdle winner who only recently returned from a long absence and it was in a higher grade that he finished a 12l third in that Haydock race (2m3f, soft) a month ago; that was encouraging and he's on a dangerous mark. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Displayed huge improvement when sauntering to 12l win at Doncaster (2m, good) in December and put two lesser efforts behind him when staying-on third at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) last month; still unexposed over this trip and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Appeared to display huge improvement when sauntering to 12l win at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; subsequent defeat in major handicap is not viewed harshly but he looked out of sorts at Stratford last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |
