Reportedly has to go right-handed and both wins have come in novice events at Taunton (soft/good to soft), latterly at the expense of Aurigny Mill (by 5l); may need further progress to defy this mark on handicap debut and chasing is on the agenda according to the trainer's recent Stable Tour. |

Could do with settling better but he's still shown a consistent level of form in Britain and his defeats when penalised have come at top tracks; looks sure to be involved once more. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month but found out off 3lb higher at Yarmouth since, albeit another creditable effort. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Can lead; course winner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; a 3lb rise for that success still leaves him well treated on old form. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-24, the win coming over this far as a hurdler nearly two years ago; however, twice runner-up over fences this season (2m7f) and capable of going well. |

3rd 1 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-6 and generally disappointing during first season over fences, signing off with a poor performance in April; returns from six-month break on a good mark, though, and last month's wind op could quite plausibly aid a return to form; cheekpieces (worn for last three runs) discarded. |

30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent gelding who won by a comfortable 3l at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft; won on good) last time and the runner-up has since filled the same berth at Newbury; this 7yo was ideally positioned that day in what developed into a sprint finish but a 5lb rise could have been worse; Murray Dodd rides again claiming his 7lb. |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Mostly consistent in his six runs for Stuart Edmunds, winning twice (2m4f/2m7f); a well-held third over C&D last month but Murray Dodd takes off 7lb and drying conditions are a further bonus. |
6/1 |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has won two of his five starts since returning to rules action in September, the latest by a wide margin at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft); a 10lb rise asks questions of him but he's strongly considered. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but she struggled last year and was beaten 20l at Sedgefield when last seen in November; now 4lb lower than for her last success but she needs a major revival after a break. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Only 1lb higher than when winning at Ludlow (3m, good) last November but has very unconvincing record since returning from a break in April; lost jockey when attempting to refuse at first flight on penultimate appearance and was soundly beaten when fourth last time; others are much less risky. |

Safely held in first two handicaps but ran considerably better than eventual 25l defeat might suggest here (2m7f, good to soft) last month, having led a field of 17 over the penultimate flight; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; one to consider. |

Soundly beaten on her three hurdle starts but this point and bumper winner now goes handicapping in a first-time tongue-tie off a lowly mark and it will be no surprise if she plays a part, especially if well backed. |

There's potential in his pedigree and he's one to watch now up in trip on hurdle debut, but he was soundly beaten at 33-1 on debut in a bumper at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in November; improvement required. |
