21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Nine-time hurdle winner who was useful in his prime and is versatile regarding ground; out of form since rejoining Harriet Dickin this season, though, and has left it late in the day to launch his chasing career; hood/cheekpieces removed; first-time blinkers tried. |
33/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Nine hurdle wins (various ground), including valuable C&D race in 2023; safely held on both starts since rejoining Harriet Dicken, though, and has much more to prove than some of these; cheekpieces added to usual hood. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time hurdle winner (including here for Harriet Dickin) who is below his last winning mark but struggled in the first half of this year for Olly Murphy; went through the sales ring for £13,500 in May and has plenty to prove, including stamina, on his first start since rejoining this trainer. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won four on the bounce here last summer (2m6f-3m1f; soft/good) but has looked a little out of sorts this season, for all that he shaped a bit better last time after further wind surgery. |

5th 11 |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft); lurks on a good mark but looked out of sorts here on both appearances this season and needs recent wind op to have made a difference; tongue-tie refitted. |
16/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft), including this race a year ago; needs to rebound from a disappointing run here (3m1f) last month but is back on a workable mark and can't be ruled out. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has been in good form this year, winning two of his four races (second in the other two), the latest at Newcastle earlier this month (2m7f, good; fourth has won since); up 4lb; chance. |
3/1 |

1st 3 |
16th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all three British wins over 3m3f at Sedgefield, the latest off 7lb lower in March; ran very well over that C&D last month and won't care what the weather does here, but is away from his happy hunting ground. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
14th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Triple C&D winner, including on soft; comfortable scorer last time, for which he has gone up 5lb; that form hasn't worked out well but he clearly relishes his visits here and is a big player. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Failed to win during light campaign last season and dropped out very quickly after running well for a long way over C&D (good to soft; first-time visor) last month; positives can still be drawn from that recent effort but others in this field look much less risky; cheekpieces back on today. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Failed to win during light campaign last season; didn't run badly when fifth of six at Doncaster (3m, good) in March and will be suited by the forecast rain here but still needs a boost from today's change of headgear. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
3-11 at Cartmel but all three of those wins were in the summer of 2021 and he's mostly been off the boil over the last two years; last month's run (here) was his first for 237 days and perhaps he needed it; yard runs four. |

27th May 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won three times on good ground over 2m1f in 2021; not won since, although was a fair third over 2m6f here last July (good to soft); bit to prove. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won over hurdles for three different yards, most recently at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July, but he's been pulled up in three starts for this stable and drops into a seller with masses to find at the weights. |
100/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Worcester winner for Ben Pauling last July (2m7f, good) but has been pulled up on both starts for Victor Thompson since, the first in a point, the second in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle; bit to prove. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |

With Ben Pauling when taking advantage of a light weight at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; changed hands soon after; pulled up on comeback at Friars Haugh (2m4f point; first time over fences); better to look elsewhere. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
No win since May 2023 but, following wind surgery, she's not been far away in two of her last three starts; the latest was her fifth of 14 to Gardener over C&D; place chance. |
11/2 |

5th 6 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

On a long losing sequence and she was pulled up in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Newcastle 32 days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |
