1st Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Chase and four-time hurdle winner (1m7f-2m5f) for this yard whom he has rejoined after two runs for Tom Gretton; well handicapped on old form but last success was 19 months ago and he's lost his way in last four runs. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Visored last three starts and staged a revival on last two, winning well in seven-runner race at Market Rasen (extended 2m7f) 11 days ago; back up 5lb but he used to be capable of a bit better still. |

Was out of form but off a reduced mark he pushed a progressive winner close at Wincanton 19 days ago (3m, good to soft); strong claims if he can build on that. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Very lightly raced over the years; three respectable efforts in handicaps over hurdles and fences last year but has not yet proved himself a cast-iron stayer, having failed to find much when fourth at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December. |
5/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo who had some fair form over hurdles across 2022 and 2023; shaped okay up to a point when fourth of nine at Wincanton (3m, soft) on his return from a 684-day break in February; switches to fences for this reappearance and, while pedigree suggests that will suit, it also points to him doing better over further. |

Safely held in Lingfield maiden (2m3f, soft) in November and not seen again since but was in front when unseating rider just before last flight at Worcester (2m4f, soft) in October and remains unexposed. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
Landed Alastair Ralph a fourth win from his last six runners when powering home in the debuted visor (replaced) at Stratford latest (2m6f, good); player, though he has never yet managed to follow up a win, and the penalty takes him 7lb above the mark defied in this race last year. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
His wins have been at 3m2f and 3m; arrives here after good-ground seconds at Uttoxeter and Warwick, his second and third starts in blinkers; should be in the mix provided he takes to more new headgear. |
4/1 |

2nd 6 |
23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not quite at her best this year but went down fighting when close second off reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) 12 days ago; went back up 3lb for that but it's worth remembering his career-best performance (in May 2024) came over this C&D on good ground. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 150y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m2f course winner last season; not at best on either outing this term but ran well to a point in stronger race than this at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; might be the answer. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort of her 2025-26 campaign when neck second, clear of the remainder, at Stratford (2m3f, good) last time; appears capable of going one better, having recorded sole chase success (November 2024) off current mark. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (3m2f, good) in September and also has a C&D success on his CV but has not been firing on all cylinders this year (with and without headgear). |
7/1 |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Was entitled to run better than he did back on good ground at Haydock three weeks ago (3m) but that was a strong race; last season's peaks (at 3m2f/3m) bring him right into it off this mark. |
10/1 |
|
10th 7 |
11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Well beaten over C&D (soft) last time; he can be effective on soft/heavy going but better ground may be preferable and he's very much of interest on his fine efforts last autumn, when winning at Kelso (3m2f, good) and finishing second of 20 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft); on the shortlist. |

24th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Not firing on all cylinders this year but handicapped accordingly now and has been placed twice this month; suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

3rd Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Quite useful in his prime but has dropped a long way down the weights over the last year or so and did not look poised to capitalise when safely held at Market Rasen (a track he likes) on Saturday. |
