10th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Best RPR of 80 on Flat; not yet a natural jumper but is getting it together over hurdles and outclassed rivals under Rob Hargreaves in recent C&D maiden (soft); good ground will suit; has more to offer on handicap debut. |

11st 7lb |
0-13 under rules but made a bright start to chasing when runner-up at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in April following his third wind op; absence since is a slight concern, but otherwise he should not be far away. |

Placed twice at up to 2m4f on slow ground over hurdles; below par when last seen in that sphere at Warwick last December; has since had wind surgery and is on a competitive mark if he is able to produce his best on his chase debut. |

Had been in good form without winning in handicaps until pulled up at Bangor (23f) in December; he needs to get back on track. |

2nd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |

Ended up with plenty to do and was hampered late on at Warwick last time; previous fourth at Market Rasen reads quite well in the context of this race; this longer trip should be in her favour; more solid than some. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently when Sean Bowen was at his strongest at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in June, and his subsequent effort off 5lb higher at Market Rasen (2m7f) was solid; remains on the same workable mark and should be in the thick of things again. |
7/2 |

4th 5 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has won two of his last three, the latest over 3m2f at Fontwell when Sean Bowen was at his strongest; probably has little up his sleeve after the 5lb rise. |
5/1 |

1st 3 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Landed a weak handicap at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March; never threatened off 2lb higher at Southwell (3m, good) last time; Sean Bowen rides for the first time so may well have a say. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Didn't run badly when fifth of ten at Fontwell (2m3f, good) this month and continues to slip down the weights but is only 1-12 over hurdles and others in this field have much more appealing profiles. |

12th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Won four-runner maiden (2m, good) a year ago but yet to make an impact in handicaps as a hurdler; didn't run badly when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft; first run back from a second wind operation) last month but failed to build on that at Fakenham last time. |

Won a maiden hurdle (2m, good) for Ben Pauling 14 months ago but that is his only win from 16 starts and he's struggled in two runs (chase/hurdle) for new yard this autumn. |

Won maiden hurdle for Ben Pauling 14 months ago and was placed over fences for him this summer but is far too inconsistent to rely upon and was a tailed-off outsider (over fences) on recent stable debut; cheekpieces refitted. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Couldn't hold on when attempting to make all at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f, good) in June but that was still a solid effort, only narrowly denied second by Little Ledgend late on; should go well again, with Luke Scott able to claim 3lb this time. |

3rd 3 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
No win for three years but, in all fairness, he hasn't seen a massive amount of action, and he's handily weighted from this 6lb lower mark; bumped into the thriving Ice Jet at Worcester (2m4f; runner-up, beaten over 1l) latest, and a repeat of that should see him on the premises. |
