22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who returned from long absence with very encouraging third on chasing debut at Stratford (2m3f, good) in July; didn't fire at Worcester last month but still enters the equation here. |

19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won three times over hurdles in 2022-23 campaign; made encouraging chasing debut when third at Stratford (2m3f, good) last month following a 440-day absence and good chance if he can build on that. |

Made good progress in low-grade handicap hurdles in 2022-23 season, winning three times; off since modest third at Worcester 13 months ago; makes chasing debut here; others look safer. |

10st 2lb |
Favourably treated with Martator on his beating of that rival in late 2023 and, when second to the Williams horse in this last year, he committed a good way from home; didn't really fire back in the spring but he's very able when fresh and worth a second look despite being 2lb wrong; Freddie Mitchell aboard for five of his last six races. |

Has returned from a break in good order and gave an in-form rival a right fright at Worcester (2m7f, good); won't mind rain. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Encouraging third after a three-month break at Stratford (2m7f, good) last month; looks the type to be at his best in the summer and holds sound claims. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won modest chase at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) in January and is also suited by much faster ground but has become very inconsistent in recent years; others in this line-up have much more appealing profiles. |

11st 8lb |
0-7 over hurdles; placed off 1lb higher at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in May but made low-key reappearance in recent C&D event won by Top Cloud; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces today; riding arrangements suggest Samatian is the stable's main hope. |

Three-time chase winner (including C&D), but he's been well held over fences and hurdles in last three runs; made a mistake at a crucial stage at Southwell last time but he needs to get right back near his best on this return to fences. |

10st 11lb |
Three chase wins last season, the latest gained at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in November; has 6lb lower hurdle mark but remains without a win in this discipline after 17 attempts and tends to need his first run back from a break (absent since December); others make more appeal. |

11st 9lb |
Took a while to strike form after returning from long absence this season but finished well to go close over C&D (good; front pair clear) last week and is back in action before a 5lb rise takes effect; respected. |

2nd 7 |
22nd Feb 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won in June 2021 on final start for Paul Nicholls; not seen again until October 2022 and latest run (first-time hood) was a step back in the right direction; needs another and the step back in trip may well help. |

11st 8lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and his last success was at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in June; disappointing in final run for the Hobbs/White yard but he still looks feasibly treated on his best form and needs a close look on first run for James Owen; new headgear. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Placed off a reduced mark at Wincanton (2m5f, good; 33-1) in February; may have had stamina issues over 3m here last time but he's an inconsistent maiden (0-12) and others are more solid. |

13th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Second of five on hurdling debut at Market Rasen (2m, good) in September but soundly beaten three times since, most recently when upped to 2m3f and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut here last month; tried in a visor today; needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |

7th Feb 2023 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Right back to form with a close second at 80-1 in a Kempton Polytrack handicap latest (2m); six years since his sole hurdles score, however, and most recent form figures in this discipline make for grim reading. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |

Veteran who has cut little ice over hurdles this season but he posted a solid second on the Flat at Kempton last month; he needs to back it up now returned to this sphere. |
