23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Scored twice over fences (around 3m) in March 2024; back from two years off in good nick, runner-up over 3m2f at Chepstow last month; can race off the same mark here so he's a player with Harry Cobden taking over. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |

Not an unlucky loser, but may have run Broomfields Cave closer at Wincanton latest without pecking two out (3m1f, good); respected now back on track, though notably remains winless around a galloping track. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double over fences at Taunton (2m7f, soft) in March 2024 but he's returned from 690 days off with two underwhelming runs (hurdles/chase) this spring; looks well handicapped on his old form but he needs to raise his game on this drop back in trip. |

Formerly a very capable hurdler; has returned to fences the last twice and been well held, latterly behind Shirocco's Dream over C&D. |

Fairly useful hurdler in her prime and went close in a C&D chase in 2021 but wasn't at her best last season and is not favoured by the weights on this first start for five months. |

Won over fences off today's mark last season and has been placed over hurdles this term but has completed only three of his seven chases, and looked out of sorts when pulled up at Uttoxeter this month; risky. |

1st May 2023 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Back in peak form when staying on well to score at Newbury (3m, good to firm) in February and was reportedly unsuited by a slow pace when safely held at Ludlow the following month; a contender if all goes to plan here. |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps (2m5f/3m; good to soft) early last year; got back to her best with clearcut success at Newbury (3m, good to firm) in February but she's not easy to predict and was well held at Ludlow last time; needs to bounce back again after that and she comes with risks attached. |

Won back-to-back handicaps last winter (2m5f/3m; good to soft) and back to her best when scoring at Newbury (3m, good to firm) 11 days ago; did it in clearcut style for that latest win and should go well despite apparently needing to find more under the 7lb penalty. |

jumped right on occasions, pressed leader, prominent 6th, niggled along briefly with one circuit to go, not fluent 9th, ridden and dropped to last 10th, rallied and went second again approaching last, kept on run-in, weakened towards finish |

15th May 2023 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has rather mixed record over hurdles but chased home a useful rival in Chepstow novice (2m, good to soft) in November and put his disappointing handicap debut behind him when respectable sixth at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in January; can play a significant role here if all goes to plan. |

12yo who is 5-36 over hurdles, the latest win at Wincanton (3m, soft) last March off 2lb lower; needs much better than she's delivered last two starts, a start to the campaign which contrasts starkly with last term but her trainer has had recent winners. |

Won five of her first 13 starts over hurdles but she's been held in last three runs, including a 21l defeat at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in December; drops back in grade after a break but she looks weighted near her best and others are preferred; tongue-tie added. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Well-beaten favourite in a Cartmel maiden hunter chase last month (2m5f) but it is no certainty that's his preferred track type considering his point win in March (form franked repeatedly) came around Charm Park's fairer, more galloping line; rare runner here for Ruth Jefferson. |
