10st 12lb |
Arrested decline when third in first-time blinkers at Perth (3m, good) last month but this 12yo remains without a win since 2023 and it's hard to tell whether the new headgear will continue to have a positive effect. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Second of four on stable debut here last May (3m2f, good); hasn't run quite as well since but is now on a career-low mark; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

10st 11lb |
Returned from layoff with quite encouraging C&D fourth (albeit well held in the end) on soft ground last month but is getting long in the tooth and today's faster ground is probably not in his favour; headgear refitted. |

9yo with six successes to her name; now 7lb below her last winning mark but not seriously threatening to take advantage, fading when fifth of seven at Hexham on latest; needs a revival. |

Two wins following wind surgery last season, a selling handicap off this mark at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) and a claiming hurdle here (2m, good to soft); struck into when below best on heavy last time out but a strong contender on best form. |

Finished in front of Us And Them, who admittedly paid for doing too much in the lead, at Leicester but was a below-par favourite in his bid to win that race for the second year running; 3-6 at claiming/selling level overall and could easily bounce back; has won over C&D. |

21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Smart chaser in his prime but absent since 38l defeat on stable debut at Sedgefield in November 2023; reverts to hurdling on a very tempting mark but it takes a leap of faith to support him. |

16th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |

Had some smart form over fences when trained by Joseph O'Brien including when runner-up in the 2019 Arkle, but not at the same level now and was last seen finishing third of five in a claiming hurdle for Alan Jones at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in March; makes his debut for another new yard after eight months off and lots to prove. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles but Flat career has been just four races on Tapeta, fading into fourth of eight off this mark when upped to 2m last month for Flat handicap debut (disqualified; jockey failed to weigh in); switches to turf and needs improvement. |

Winner of two staying events for previous connections but out of sorts over hurdles since falling over fences on debut for this yard in August; tongue-tie discarded; best watched for now. |

1st Feb 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

Won twice over hurdles (3m-3m2f) for Dan Skelton in 2021 but less productive for this trainer, including when struggling at Fakenham (2m4f) in October; drops back to 2m off a three-and-a-half month break sporting a tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination for the first time. |

Yet to win on turf (0-15) but successful four times on the AW (1m-1m4f) for previous handler Keith Dalgleish; interesting to see how he fares on hurdles debut having joined Oliver Sherwood for 4,000gns. |
