15th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Looked an excellent prospect when making a winning hurdling debut in Doncaster maiden (2m4f) in January and wasn't discredited pitched into Grade 2 company when eighth at Haydock (3m) the following month; he remains with potential and holds leading claims back in these calmer waters. |

18th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Every chance when falling at final fence in sole Irish point (3m, soft) and he improved for his bumper debut third (2m, good) when winning a maiden hurdle at Doncaster (2m5f, good to soft) last month; shaped like a stayer last time and could continue to progress now up in trip; a possible. |

Fell at the last when a close second in an ordinary Irish point in March; sound effort when third to a subsequent winner in Uttoxeter bumper in November (2m, good) and interesting now going hurdling. |

Low-mileage 7yo who won three-runner beginners' chase on heavy ground during the winter; probably raced too close to hot pace when weakening fifth in Cartmel race won by Al Zaraqaan last month, and may still have potential. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Suffered a couple of heavy defeats after a long absence but then went very close to a first chase win in first-time blinkers at Southwell (3m, soft) last time, with the winner running well since; remains on a competitive mark and is one to consider if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Well treated on best chase efforts; has suffered a couple of heavy defeats since returning from sizeable layoff but the fitting of blinkers may prompt a resurgence. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |

Tailed off at Chepstow three weeks ago after an absence and this 9yo needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he's in top hands and is on a dangerous mark; not discounted with the step back up in trip a plus. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in this race last year; prevailed at Bangor (2m1f, good to soft) most recently, bouncing back from a poor effort and taking record since wearing cheekpieces to 2-4; likely player in the retained headgear. |

Won narrowly at Ffos Las last month (2m, heavy) but his tailed-off run back there 20 days ago was a reminder of his inconsistency; he's capable, and on this ground, but comes with risks. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Comfortably justified favouritism over hurdles at Hereford (2m6f, good to soft) in February and was reported to have made a respiratory noise when disappointing at Market Rasen last month; 5lb rise has now kicked in but he's still lightly raced for his age and should have a future at this new discipline. |

It looked more testing than the official good to soft when he comfortably justified favouritism at Hereford nine days ago (2m5f, good to soft); escapes a penalty but he was ridden by a 10lb claimer that day; this looks a deeper race. |

10st 9lb |
Unplaced in her first six starts but showed the benefit of wind surgery when swooping at Uttoxeter 19 days ago, winning over this trip quite decisively (attracted support); even a 6lb rise still leaves her at the foot of this handicap and no surprise if she followed up. |

Displayed first glimmer of promise over hurdles when plugging on for modest fourth in 2m Southwell maiden in January; probably needs to improve again on today's handicap debut but is with a top stable and can't be ignored. |

Progressive 9yo who returned from a break with small-field win at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April and also ran well when second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; significant rain will dent his appeal here but otherwise he may still have more improvement to come. |

300-1 for all three maiden hurdles and showed very little; 4lb out of the weights, as she is today, when 100-1 for her handicap/chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) nine days ago and beaten 37l; no form claims. |
