2nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won two in a row last June for the O'Neill yard and put up a bold show when close second of six at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; Bugise Seagull third) five weeks ago on second run for this yard; needs extra to win this, though. |

10th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not particularly consistent but has a chance on his best form; successful at Carlisle in March (2m3f, good to soft) when wearing a visor for the first time, but well beaten off this 7lb higher mark with same headgear when favourite at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good). |

Bounced back quickly from last month's poor performance and took form to whole new level at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft; first-time visor) three weeks ago, keeping on strongly to win readily by 6l; went up 7lb for that but must be considered in current mood. |

10st 8lb |
Made a winning start over fences at Newcastle (2m7f) in October; has failed to build on it though and she unseated her rider at Hexham (3m) two weeks ago; has a bit to prove. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

Won a three-runner handicap at Newcastle in October (3m, good) but hasn't done quite as well since; back on her last winning mark. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won a three-runner handicap at Newcastle on chase debut in October (2m7f, good); no easy task when pulled up in Lincolnshire National last time; unexposed as a chaser and should improve. |

Absent since pulled up in a Hereford maiden hurdle (2m3f) last April, failing to back up his bumper effort; market can guide. |

6th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Too green to do himself justice in a bumper last December but kept on to finish fourth; interesting to note any confidence behind him now tackling hurdles over a longer trip. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

Capable on his day for Jamie Snowden, winning three times; didn't sign off for that yard in bad form and he joined this one for £12,000; could go well. |
33/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Course scorer who went freely when a below-par seventh of ten in 3m Wincanton handicap 25 days ago; drops back in trip now. |
9/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who seemed to have been refreshed by a 12-week break when a very respectable fourth over C&D (good to soft) in refitted cheekpieces this month; in the mix if in similar form. |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made a winning chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month when racing prominently throughout; up 4lb, he was unable to lead when below form over C&D (soft) 13 days later; races off the same mark and may be able to dominate here. |

The winner of two soft-ground hurdles but his recent efforts in that discipline weren't his best; goes chasing with a bit to prove, though pointing background bodes well. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made good progress when headgear was added in the autumn, winning three times (2m7f-3m1f, good), but was given a break after disappointing run in January and made a low-key reappearance last month; needs to get back in the groove. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Headgear helped last autumn, with three wins over further, latterly off a 6lb lower mark; has been off for four months since a poor one in blinkers (goes back to cheekpieces tonight) early in the year and will want a good test over this trip. |
