4th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to trouble the judge in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien but more positive signs for her new stable when 2l second of 12 at Southwell (1m3f) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 11 days ago; one to consider from an unchanged mark. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |
4/1 |

6th 14 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four wins last season included two here at 2m; never figured in this race last term but he's been in the frame all nine starts this year and was unlucky when fifth at this track in December on his last go at 1m4f; each-way prospects. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (8) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |

8th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Missed all of last year and has a very mixed record since returning in January; weakened into well-held sixth when joint-favourite at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month; others appeal more. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
8-59, although his last win came in a two-runner affair at Carlisle (2m1f; 2-5 favourite; all out) in December 2023; latest Carlisle sixth (beaten 15l; 50-1) not overly inspiring; others more obvious. |
10/1 |

6th 7 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has won six times over hurdles, the latest a two-runner affair over C&D (good to soft) in December 2023; a couple of fair runs for this yard last year but pulled up when last seen out in January (reportedly never travelling); others appeal more. |
20/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
On a long losing spell and form figures of 246 this term reflect that a turnaround of sorts is required; admittedly appears well treated if that resurgence materialises, being 7lb below last winning mark. |

4th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Close third in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in January but he's not matched that form in a variety of headgear since and was only fifth of six at Newcastle last time; has something to prove again and this 11yo has not won since November 2021. |

17th Mar 2023 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hinted at ability in three outings on turf/Tapeta in late 2022, but little to shout about in three Flat starts and a hurdle so far this year (visored last time); hopes pinned on the step up to 2m unlocking some improvement. |
20/1 |
