9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Stays 3m1f; has become inconsistent over fences and hurdles but ran encouragingly, clear second, in new headgear at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) most recently; still well treated on peak form; possibilities in the retained visor. |

Inconsistent over fences last season and absent since a down-the-field hurdle run in March; resumes on a workable mark but he's 1-10 in this sphere and is probably not the percentage call; equipment reapplied. |

Record of 0-5 since switched to fences but turn looks near, having finished second at Wetherby and Newbury the last twice; however, needs some improvement to go one better in this stronger grade. |

19th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Maiden with three seconds to her name; beaten 27l into fourth on her handicap debut at Fakenham but 2m4f around there perhaps caught her out (never dangerous from off the pace); has stayers in the family and one to consider. |
13/2 |

2nd Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Outran 50-1 odds when second on hurdling debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good) in October; below that form twice since and has some questions to answer on today's handicap debut but her stable does well here and it would be dangerous to write her off at this stage. |

16th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Was quick to make his mark for his current yard when bagging 2m4f Huntingdon handicap hurdle in February but he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth at Hereford (2m4f) 38 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back though. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m-2m4f); ran quite well when fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in September and probably didn't get the trip when below that form over 3m last month, but his sole chasing attempt in 2022 did not go well (jumped poorly, pulled up). |
11/2 |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time hurdle winner at up to 2m4f; good effort when fourth of 12 at Southwell (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and is suited by slow ground but today's test may tax his stamina; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |
7/1 |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |

Twice placed during July at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft), a course he always runs well; does have form elsewhere and has won over this longer trip, so brings fairly solid credentials. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble with his smooth success over C&D (good; cheekpieces added) three weeks ago; up 6lb but he beat a clear second last time and he's still unexposed at this sort of trip; big player. |
2/1 |

1st 4 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Well handicapped on his Uttoxeter win (3m, good) last July but he's 0-9 since and has been out of sorts this year; has something to prove and he was pulled up in only go at this sort of trip; cheekpieces (last used in October) are reapplied. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Arrives in no sort of form but he has been running over 2m and he's won over nearly 3m in the past; back up in trip and off a reduced mark, there's some cause for optimism. |

11th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |

Won Uttoxeter maiden (2m, good) just over a year ago, his third run over hurdles, but didn't kick on from that success during light campaign last season and will need to up his game here. |

5th Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Soundly beaten in 2m4f handicap (back from layoff) one month ago; this looks more suitable as he won a 2m maiden hurdle on good ground at Uttoxeter last April; one of the main players on that form; hood (worn last three runs) is removed. |
