29th Jun 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Flat form took off again last winter with the switch to AW, winning three in a row before his creditable third at Newcastle on finals day, all over 2m; ran respectably on turf in April on latest outing; each-way claims. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Reserve; won three in a row over 2m on AW early this year; has run well in defeat the last twice, most recently travelling well when finishing fifth back on turf at Newbury (2m, good to soft); he may benefit from this drop back in distance and could give a good account. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Just one win from his last 18 starts but that came by a wide margin over C&D (good to soft) in January and he ran another big race when fourth of 17 at Ascot (2m7f, good) last time; every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Had to wait over two years for his second win but when it came at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago it was by a huge margin; back up 8lb and that's the furthest he's been, but now the possibility arises that he'll be interesting at this trip as well. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice last summer (2m7f/3m2f) but returned from a break with two disappointing runs last month (both 2m7f) and this drop back in trip is not an obvious move. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has four wins over hurdles but last success was last August off 7lb lower; needs to come down a few pounds before winning again. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Three good-ground wins at up to 3m2f during a profitable 2025, all off at least 9lb lower; yet to defy a break in excess of 45 days, so absence since January cannot rate a plus. |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Safely held in plating company on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Stratford (2m2f, good); 8lb lower here but needs significant improvement, and it's questionable whether today's stamina test will suit this former Flat-racer. |
33/1 |

9th Sep 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Displayed some ability at a modest level on the Flat but safely held on all four hurdling starts, most recently when remote third of five in 2m6f novice here last month; 8lb out of the weights for today's handicap debut and difficult to enthuse over. |

24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 3 |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Looked as good as ever when clearcut winner at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July and was placed off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) soon afterwards; had another wind op during 82-day break; won't be far away if still in good form. |

3rd 3 |
17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner who recorded her third hurdle win when justifying support on rain-softened ground at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; up 5lb but that latest form looks solid and all of her hurdle wins have come under Jack Tudor; respected. |
5/1 |

1st 3 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Two hurdle wins last season (2m5f/2m3f); often gives her running but well beaten at Worcester last month and 5lb above her most recent winning mark; would need considering if the ground were to ease. |

31st Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has offered little in her six starts over hurdles thus far, only tenth in 2m Taunton handicap last time; she's hard to make a case for. |

8th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Has had few chances but her two handicap runs over 2m, the latest after wind surgery, suggest she will be out in the cold again. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only his third run over fences when forging clear at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in January; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he was only 9-2 when departing early at Taunton; seemingly on the upgrade. |
7/2 |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
All the sharper for his Hereford reappearance when making it third time lucky over fences in 2m7f Huntingdon handicap (soft) three weeks ago, forging 15l clear; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he should remain competitive if in the same form. |
9/2 |

1st 5 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Temporary switch to front-running over a sharp 3m netted him a Southwell hurdle off this mark in May 2024 (soft), but rather lost in the crowd in big-field chases on only two starts since; tongue tie off. |
