24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over fences this season and last two have been at Fontwell (2m2f/2m3f, good to soft); well-held second of four at Plumpton 19 days ago but that was behind an improver from the Nicholls yard; 10lb lower on this return to hurdling and he's an interesting contender in suitable conditions. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Mostly in very good form since joining this yard and under a positive ride he held on comfortably when back from a break at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft), beating a reliable yardstick in the process; 4lb rise was fair; cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made a winning debut for Chris Gordon in September and has continued to run well in defeat; this longer trip shouldn't be a problem but he has been edging up the weights and he's 2lb out of the handicap here. |

29th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Well held in two chases and one back over hurdles on latest three starts; won at this time last year (in first-time cheekpieces) after a bleak spell so lightning could strike twice as she now sports a visor. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unknown quantity at present as she had a very stiff task back hurdling last week after two modest chase runs, but she won this off a similar mark in 2022 (soft) in first-time cheekpieces and this headgear switch could suit; worth considering. |
9/2 |

6th 3 |
12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten over fences the last twice but good ground may not have suited last time and she's not ruled out now back on a slower surface over hurdles, off a mark just 1lb higher than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last May on her latest attempt in this sphere. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
In a consistent run of form when last seen in November, mostly hooded but also in just a tongue-tie last time; this mark is very manageable but he does lack a recent run. |

11st 12lb |
Has been in fine fettle since joining current yard in the summer with four wins in handicaps; incurs 12lb penalty here partially offset by Luke Scott's 3lb claim; should be hard to beat at this level. |

10st 11lb |
Still seeking first win over fences (0-30); runner-up at Catterick (2m, soft; beaten 9l) over Christmas, but perhaps found the extended 2m3f (here) overstretching stamina reserves latest; first start for three months; others tick more of the required boxes. |

29th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Has finished in the first three just once in a 22-race career, when winning a Sedgefield handicap in November 2021; safely held in two outings last month but stable's recent fine run of form at least a positive. |

Won at Sedgefield in November 2021 and ran okay a couple of times later that season; however, he's struggled in both codes on his four starts since last May and has plenty to prove. |

Won this in 2021; tends to be all or nothing these days and his latest C&D fourth at a big price, when getting no peace in front (King Of Unicorns behind), was more like it on his second run back from a break. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who has been consistent this season and ended a long losing streak at Taunton (3m, good to soft) 11 days ago; went up 5lb for that but this track also suits him and he remains unexposed as a stayer. |
