31st May 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
French bumper winner; confirmed previous promise when making all to win at 4-9 on stable debut at Worcester earlier this month (2m, good; first run after a wind operation); obvious contender. |
4/5 |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in a Listed bumper in early 2022 and on all four hurdling starts for Mel Rowley last season, most notably when third behind two useful rivals at Warwick (2m3f, good) in February; ought to be a tough nut to crack on today's stable debut. |

17th Mar 2023 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Quite a useful bumper performer (winner over 1m4f in France in August 2021) who has shown decent form over hurdles, his best effort being last time when third on good ground at Warwick on his first try at 2m3f; sound chance on that form. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two-time bumper winner who was runner-up in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester in May 2023; well below that form since returning from long absence in January, with his two handicap runs in April particularly disappointing, but the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye here. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Beginning to look exposed after six hurdle starts but ran a big race before weakening into third in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in May and has a good chance at the weights here; had wind op in June; tongue-tie added. |

Pulled up at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in March but back on song when running well for a long way at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month; remains relatively unexposed and has potential over this longer trip. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Four wins (2m1f-2m5f) over hurdles; made an encouraging start over fences when 3l third of six at Southwell (3m, soft) last month; solid claims if building on that run with cheekpieces now fitted. |
8/1 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Record of 51211 in Class 4 handicap hurdles; has failed to fire in a couple of Class 3 events this term but looks interesting back down in grade on chase debut. |
7/2 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three wins from off the pace last season (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); managed only fifth on last month's return at Haydock (3m, good to soft) but was quite badly hampered by a mid-race faller and made good headway from the rear on the final circuit; might come on for the run; interesting. |

3rd Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Fairly useful Flat stayer who opened hurdling account in Worcester maiden (2m, good; first-time hood) in June; safely held when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut there in August, though, and needs subsequent wind op to have made a difference. |

11st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; bounced back from a poor run when second at Plumpton (2m4f, soft; tongue-tie refitted) this month and new jockey Rian Corcoran claims a useful 6lb; shortlisted. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Four-time winner over hurdles and ran okay in his first two races after a wind operation before failing to give his running at Fontwell a month ago; would have a chance if he's back to anything like his best. |

Drew clear to score in first-time visor at Fonwell (2m3f, good to soft) in March and is now 4-14 over hurdles; returns from seven-month absence on career-high mark but won when fresh last autumn; a possible. |

Touched off on Flat in May and over hurdles in July; well beaten on last two starts (Flat/hurdles) but she won at this track two winters back and also had serious form here early in 2024, so she can't be dismissed. |

Appreciated the step up in trip when landing his second race over fences at Stratford (3m3f, good) last month; up 5lb and needs to back that up over this slightly shorter distance. |

Hard to recommend on recent efforts, but has dropped 7lb lower than when gaining his second C&D success back in February; worth a second look with a visor given a try, especially if attracting support. |

This year's win was on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in February and he's 2lb lower today, having gone off the boil in his two runs this summer; has never won beyond 1m4f and he last ran on ground softer than good in 2021. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Pulled up on sole bumper run and gone the wrong way across three 1m7f-2m maiden hurdle starts, beaten a long way out here latest; likely one for 2m4f-plus in time, but can't fancy on handicap debut as things stand. |
