13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |

Multiple chase winner who made it three for the year at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; hasn't run to the same level since, a recent second at Huntingdon being a remote one, and others further up the list. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Back over hurdles for her last three races (2m4f-3m2f) and found just one too good in the penultimate one; had no excuses when beaten 24l in the latest and she has a modest strike-rate. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Better known as a chaser now; did not see out 3m2f on May's hurdling return at Stratford and appreciated the return to shorter when a front-running second at Southwell (2m4f, good) latest; back up 3lb but solid claims. |
2/1 |

11th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Better known as a chaser now; did not see out 3m2f on last month's hurdling return at Stratford but put in a pretty good front-running shift there and today's drop back in trip looks the right move; on a good mark; no surprise if she features. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Multiple chase winner with plenty of form here, including a runner-up finish in first-time blinkers last week over 2m4f (good); has won over this far. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving. |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Became very disappointing for Neil King last year and has been soundly beaten in two Flat races, a chase and a hurdle for new stable this spring; has huge amount to prove but still worth a glance in the betting. |

1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Flat, hurdle and chase winner at up to 2m4f; not ground dependent; below par in two Flat starts and a chase since joining this trainer; others preferred. |

11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Very versatile 9yo who has two chases among his seven career wins; signed off for Neil King with some disappointing efforts over jumps last spring and was well beaten on both Flat starts for new stable last month; considered only if lively in the betting. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has won two small-field mares chases at Leicester (2m4f, good; by 3l from Auditoria) and Wincanton (2m4f, good; Auditoria third) on last two starts; still feasibly treated and has a chance. |
5/2 |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Plenty to find with Methodtothemagic on Leicester form in February (2m6f, good) but has done better since returned to 2m4f on last two starts, making all at Leicester and Wincanton (good/good to soft); has a stamina query beyond that trip. |
2/1 |

27th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made all in similar event at Leicester (2m4f, good; opened her chase account) last month, beating Auditoria who went one better last week; likely player provided she's in the same form (lacks consistency). |
