24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer. |
4/5 |

1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who has been consistent this season and ended a long losing streak at Taunton (3m, good to soft) 11 days ago; went up 5lb for that but this track also suits him and he remains unexposed as a stayer. |

1st Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Chasing the last twice, being the last to finish on both occasions; hasn't been the easiest to predict over hurdles but he has placed form off higher marks. |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
His form has deteriorated and he was only eighth at Wincanton last month; however, he had shown spark when third at Taunton in November following a break, and he's not ruled out now back at the scene of his last two wins. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Five starts for this yard, failing to finish in two chases and tailed off in his three races back hurdling; way down the weights. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |

Four starts for this yard; failed to finish in two chases and twice tailed off back hurdling; tongue-strap returns. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Became rather disappointing for Paul Nicholls last season and has struggled to get competitive for new stable this term, most recently when tailed off here (2m3f) on recent return to hurdling; revival needed. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has struggled to find his best since returning from nearly two years away but last month's fourth at Wincanton, when not quite seeing out 2m5f+, was a definite step in the right direction; could well be involved. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 |
16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Always towards rear when tried in cheekpieces two starts ago and was left behind when pace lifted in home straight here (2m4f; no headgear) last month; can't be supported with much confidence today but is now 12lb lower than when very respectable fourth at Taunton (2m3f, soft) in January. |

2nd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won Fontwell maiden (2m1f, good to soft) for Milton Harris last December but he has a mixed record since; wasn't beaten far when third of five at Uttoxeter two weeks ago but he's now 1-11 over hurdles and others are more convincing. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten at Southwell last month on his return from two years off; that leaves him with plenty to prove but possibly worth noting in the betting as he had some fair novice form; stable also runs Swinging London. |
14/1 |
|
8th 5 |
28th Apr 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won Uttoxeter novice (2m, heavy) in February 2021 and was fair fourth in Perth handicap (2m4f, good) two months later but he's been on the sidelines since; still unexposed but he has something to prove after two years off. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

This is a belated first run over regulation fences and he's only 1-15 in points; looks outclassed. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Ran reasonably on occasions but unplaced in all nine hurdle starts in Ireland; stable debut after five months off and best watched. |
