11st 6lb |
Beaten a whopping 127l when just 7-2 for Lingfield handicap hurdle (2m7f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) 13 days ago; that's an obvious concern but maybe the added headgear backfired and he won off just 1lb lower at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) on his last chase start for Simon Hodgson about a year ago; Sean Bowen (4-5 for this yard) is an interesting jockey booking. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
No trip or ground issues but consistency has been an issue over several years' fitful campaigning, and while this is easier than the C&D 0-120 of December's return from another eight months off, it's no certainty he'll step up sufficiently on that 35l last of six; regains headgear. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Often lacks fluency over his hurdles but started off for current stable with two good efforts last spring (2m4f/2m3f); will be fine over today's longer trip and Harry Cobden is a good booking for this reappearance run. |

18th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-12 over hurdles and much more exposed than some of these but kept on for very respectable third on last month's stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good; clear winner has won twice again since) and will probably be competitive again here. |

10th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Kept on from unlikely position to take 80-1 second here (2m3f, good) last month, his fourth start over hurdles; posed no threat to the clear winner and the value of the form is open to question but, nevertheless, there's a chance he can snatch another minor prize today. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed promise in his second bumper in December 2020 but, after more than two years off, he's struggled at big prices in three hurdle runs (2m/2m5f) this year; easy to look elsewhere. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Has five wins over fences, the latest at Sedgefield last September off 5lb lower; should strip fitter for a recent fourth over hurdles but may need to come down a few pounds. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Five-time chase winner who was placed on hurdle return at Kempton (2m, good) in October; absent since lesser effort in November but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

12th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat performer (stayed at least 1m6f); promise in maiden/novice hurdles last year and possibly found soft ground against him when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut; back on track when returned to a better surface with a close second at Stratford (2m3f, good) last month; shouldn't be far away off a small rise. |

Useful on the Flat for the Charltons; promise in maiden/novice hurdles last year and perhaps found soft ground against him when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut ten weeks ago; may fare better returned to drying ground. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner this season and added to his tally on last month's chasing debut at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft), asserting on run-in to score by 5l; only 3lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if the ground ends up good; sports first-time blinkers; must be considered. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-9 over hurdles, the wins at 2m5f-3m1f (one here), and recent effort off this mark under Chad Bament when second around here was solid; probably on a stiff enough mark, but appeals as the type to improve for fences and a bold showing can be expected on chase debut. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |

Made all for clearcut C&D (soft) success four weeks ago and is now 3-8 over hurdles; also suited by good/good to soft ground and might still be on the upgrade; commands respect. |

Well beaten in all three hurdle races this season and now 0-12 in that sphere; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor on this chasing debut; 4lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |

7th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |

Unplaced all six starts under rules, the last twice over fences; only beaten about 15l when seventh at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in December and effectively 7lb lower today; needs to improve but trainer has good strike-rate here (21%) and the booking of Brian Hughes is a plus. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made low-key stable debut over hurdles last month and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on subsequent chasing debut; 2lb wrong for this quick return to hurdling but it won't be a surprise if he gets his act together for his respected new training partnership soon; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces |
