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 |
11st 13lb |
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 |
11st 3lb |
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 Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Lost his way over hurdles and fences after winning a Warwick maiden hurdle in March 2023 for Charlie Longsdon; has yet to produce an effort of note in this discipline (0-3) but on a good mark if new connections can get him back on track; tries a tongue-tie. |

2nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Point runner-up who won a novice hurdle here (2m3f, good) in March 2023; however, he struggled on his two chase starts in late 2023 and it's been the same story over hurdles this winter, following an absence. |

12th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Well beaten in two chases in his only races last season and no show when he reverted to hurdling last month after a 406-day absence; hard to latch on to unless he's been strong in the market. |

Continues to operate some way below the level of early 2023's peak Doncaster hurdles form, placing but still beaten 23l on last month's return to chasing (3m); down another 2lb but not as persuasive as most. |

Has the form to feature but he's pulled up the last twice and connections reach for another change of headgear. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

1-11 over hurdles; returned from break with two very respectable fourths at end of last season (2m1f/2m3f, good) but has a point to prove after lacklustre performance at Southwell in May. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten all four hurdle/chase runs since returning from long absence for new stable last September but has slipped to a basement mark and might appreciate getting away from soft/heavy ground; dangerous to ignore. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Has won over fences but two disappointing runs after an absence included a heavy defeat behind Esperti and his struggles continued back over hurdles here last month; has dropped to a good mark but with questions to answer now. |
33/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Well beaten on stable debut in September but that came after a long absence and he's well handicapped on old form for Tim Easterby; gained both wins on good to soft ground but can handle soft; market may guide. |

10st 11lb |
Point/hurdle winner who built upon his chase debut fifth when third of six at Newbury (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago in a race that is working out well; in top hands and could take another step forward today, provided conditions suit (unraced on soft/heavy). |

29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Not solid judged on her form in novice hurdles, modest fourth of six at Kelso (2m) most recently; needs to improve for the switch to handicap level. |
