14th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Aided by cheekpieces when twice making all under William Maggs in February, latterly over C&D on good ground; finished tired in race that developed into a slog at Kempton three weeks ago but didn't run badly there and remains of interest. |

24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, both wins gained from the front under William Maggs in February, latest at Ludlow (2m, good); still well handicapped judged on peak Flat ability; big player in the retained headgear, provided he returns from two-month break in the same form. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Has done better since returned to forcing tactics with cheekpieces fitted on last two starts at 2m, winning quite convincingly at Market Rasen before narrowly hanging on at Ludlow (good), both under William Maggs; back up 6lb, leaving him with more to find. |

11st 3lb |
18-race maiden; some fair form, including last time when third over 2m2f here (good); back after a break on this stable debut with no headgear (has been tried in cheekpieces and a tongue-tie); probably best watched. |

11st 8lb |
Made all at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in February and didn't run badly on last month's return to action at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft), which he could improve for; however, he has a major stamina question to answer here. |

10st 10lb |
Yet to win after nine attempts over hurdles and could do with settling better, which was again evident when pulled up last time over 2m3f; not at all badly treated on his placed efforts should he give himself a chance. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win after eight attempts over hurdles but frequently placed and made a most encouraging return from a long absence when a staying-on third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August; has been given plenty of time to get over that run and he's one of the likelier ones off the same mark back down in distance. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1lb out of the weights; 1-23 over hurdles and 1-15 as a chaser, so finds winning difficult; again out of the weights last time at Stratford and ended up tailed off; probably up against it once more. |
9/1 |

7th 10 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |

Has his limitations but he's running creditably at present, 4lb out of handicap when third of eight over 2m5f here 11 days ago; again out of the weights but has each-way hopes once more. |

8yo who has a poor strike-rate and is 4lb out of the handicap this evening; however, he ran pretty well when 10l third of eight at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Had further wind surgery (her second) prior to never figuring over 2m4f on reappearance; likely needs a return to further, having gained all wins (hurdles/fences) at 2m6f-3m1f. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Wore cheekpieces for all five wins, the latest in small-field Catterick chase (3m1f, soft) in February; absent since below-par 2m4f hurdle run in April (had wind surgery soon afterwards) and the headgear is missing today. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Best known for his heroics at Bangor but showed career-best form when winning narrowly at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; 3lb rise demands even more from him here; usual cheekpieces left off; tongue-tie added. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |

Goes particularly well at Bangor but was runner-up at Aintree on final run in October (3m, good); however, a 3lb rise sees him on a career-high mark and he's been off a good while. |

10st 10lb |
Rallied strongly in new headgear to collar Cadillac Ranch in 2m1f event (good) 11 days ago on switch from chasing, taking Sedgefield record (hurdles/fences) to 6-18; stays 2m4f and remains well treated on peak form; major player in the retained visor. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Five-time course winner, most recently in April (2m, good); only fifth of eight over C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago but beaten under 8l, and recent 3lb drop means he's now 3lb below that last winning mark; no surprise if he's in the shake-up. |

10st 4lb |
Won four times on the Flat from 7f-1m2f in Ireland in 2019-20; only moderate form over hurdles but could be worth a market check on return from a long break. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Quite useful on the Flat in his prime but unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently pulled up in October 2021; tailed off on Flat the following month and not seen again since; considered only if lively in the betting. |
