14th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Won this 12 months ago (good to soft) and continued in fine form last season, adding a competitive handicap at Kempton (3m, soft) in February; there could still be mileage in his mark and he may have needed last month's reappearance run at Wincanton (well-beaten fourth); one to consider. |

21st Apr 2024 Good To Soft 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best known as a Huntingdon specialist but recorded career-best RPR when scoring at Fakenham (3m5f, good to soft) last season, so a marathon trip on a sharp left-handed track evidently suits him well; out of form this term, though, and needs to turn a corner. |

2m7f hurdle winner (good) when with Dan Skelton; has struggled in all three starts for his current trainer; tongue-tie now accompanies cheekpieces; much more is needed from him. |

Useful hurdler two winters back; not disgraced on reappearance last term but has done little in his four starts since, over fences on last three; way down the weights but under a major cloud and not proven beyond 2m3f. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
On a losing run but she was second in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock (3m1f, soft) and her bid for the Surrey National (3m5f, soft) ended early after a bad mistake; this is her sort of race and she's effective in the mud. |
5/1 |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |

Not as good as she was but ended last year with some good efforts, most recently when second in Tommy Whittle at Haydock (3m1f, soft), and this move back up in trip is sure to suit. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Pulled up in three of her five runs last season but her third at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December was a good effort and she finished fourth of 16 in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter last time; resumes off a dangerous mark and she's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who has looked as good as ever for his new stable this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f); probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but reverts to chasing after a respectable hurdle run and is suited by this C&D. |
3/1 |
|
5th 10 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
12yo who has been better than ever over fences this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft); this is a rare run over hurdles but he has a lower mark in this sphere, in which he scored twice in 2020; likes it here; one to consider. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won this in 2024 (soft) and he's been better than ever this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; last time); back up to a career-high mark and he's back up in grade but he could yet have more to offer for this yard; respected. |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

More miss than hit over the last 12 months or so but he won at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in January and returned to form to go very close behind East Street at Wetherby (3m, heavy) last month; key player if again on song. |

9th Dec 2022 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won off 1lb higher over fences (2m7f, good) for Paul Nicholls last November but was disappointing in three of his last four runs for that yard; back from a break with second at Southwell (3m) on stable debut last month but was beaten 11l and he needs more on this return to hurdling; new headgear. |
