18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Popular veteran who runs this track well and capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in May; this drop back in trip is not ideal on his return to hurdling, though; cheekpieces (worn for last three races) left off today. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
No longer the force of old and inconsistent nowadays but he capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) three weeks ago and he is also very well suited by this track. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Gained three of his 14 wins here, including 2022 edition of this race, but has regressed and become inconsistent; didn't run badly in last month's Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) but younger rivals have much more appealing profiles. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Regressive 8yo who won a three-runner race in the spring but has developed a tendency to race lazily; soundly beaten on all three appearances this season and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task on this first venture beyond 3m2f. |

2nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Three of his four chase wins have been on this track, two over C&D; scored off a 2lb higher mark at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in April in a three-runner contest but two poor efforts this term and looks risky. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Thorough stayer with nine wins on his CV; not an easy one to predict nowadays and failed to build upon his encouraging seasonal debut when never dangerous at Chepstow last month but has his headgear switched today and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

11th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran with nine wins to his name and, with cheekpieces back on, he ran well for a long way at Warwick 17 days ago (good to soft); that was encouraging after a lengthy break but he's no certainty to be as good again. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a mares' novice hurdle and a mares' novice handicap chase for Emma Lavelle back in 2022; creditable third in a mares' handicap hurdle on stable debut in October (2m3f, good) but well beaten over fences last time. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-Emma Lavelle; doesn't have the best of win records; creditable run when third in a Bangor mares' handicap hurdle on reappearance (2m3f, good; stable debut); each-way chance on this return to chasing. |

3rd 7 |
27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful chaser for Emma Lavelle; didn't fire on either outing last autumn, latterly when back over hurdles, and makes stable debut after 338-day absence but has slipped to a dangerous mark and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. |

Struggling for form since joining this stable but he's become very well handicapped; hard to completely rule out but he needs to step up; stable also runs Twilight Glory. |
