24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful dual-purpose performer; runner-up in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen last summer and arrives on the back of a good effort on the Flat at Newmarket three weeks ago; very much one to consider back in this sphere. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Saw daylight all too late when strong-finishing fifth in this race last year (much better than his 2024 performance in it); Meydan this January/February did not yield much (stiff tasks) but he's now 4lb lower than this time last year, too well handicapped to be ruled out; rare run in cheekpieces. |

Useful on Flat and over hurdles; good second in notable summer handicap at Market Rasen on last attempt in this sphere; filled the same position, albeit comfortably beaten by Rubaud on same terms, in this contest 12 months ago; needs a personal best to go one better. |

Tailed off on his stable and seasonal debut at Newton Abbot in October but may have needed the run and a good case can be made on last winter's form, including a win at Exeter (2m7f, heavy) in February; chance. |

On a long losing run but she wasn't discredited on the back of wind surgery when fourth of six in 2m3f Warwick handicap 60 days ago; possibilities off a falling mark. |

Won this race in good style off today's mark a year ago (good ground) but has lost her way a bit since; didn't run badly off her lower hurdle mark last month but needs to up her game on this return to fences. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Displayed huge improvement when sauntering to 12l win at Doncaster (2m, good) in December and put two lesser efforts behind him when staying-on third at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) last month; still unexposed over this trip and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Appeared to display huge improvement when sauntering to 12l win at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; subsequent defeat in major handicap is not viewed harshly but he looked out of sorts at Stratford last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Won this race on good ground under Becky Smith a year ago and defends his crown from a good mark but recent Flat/hurdling form has been underwhelming and conditions are not in his favour today. |

5th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |

16th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
No match for the winner on her two runs this autumn (2m4f/2m3f, heavy/soft) but she's kept on nicely to finish placed and is worth another go at this trip; versatile ground-wise; on the shortlist in first-time cheekpieces. |
6/1 |

22nd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won two handicaps for Nicky Richards, the latest in September 2022 off 4lb higher; there's a reason for her reduced mark but the signs were more encouraging at Carlisle last month when keeping on for third behind last week's Cheltenham runner-up White Rhino; trip/ground fine. |

11st 2lb |
12yo returning from 315 days off when 33-1 at Chepstow (3m, soft) 19 days ago but he had the call from approaching the final flight; back up 5lb in this hot race, he needs to find best form since his peak year of 2021. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |

Useful at his peak and still versatile last term, winning over 1m7f (heavy) and 3m1f (soft); however, backward steps on last two starts and he's now a 12yo returning from 315 days off. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Not firing on all cylinders during fairly light campaign last season but looked back in good nick when third at Fakenham (2m5f, good) last month; runs this track well and remains well handicapped; helps to give Laura Morgan a good hand in this race. |

2nd Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |

Good-ground specialist who has mixed hurdling with chasing in recent years; not firing on all cylinders in early part of last season and made low-key return (over hurdles) in April; others have less to prove. |

25th Apr 2024 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |

Has failed to show peak form since returning from long layoff but has done enough to suggest he's interesting off current mark dropped in grade and belatedly returned to Musselburgh; dual course winner as a youngster. |

3rd 7 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
No win since his juvenile campaign; long absence prior to two efforts this term, seeming to need July run then faring better in October; still needs to prove he retains peak ability but market support should be noted. |
9/2 |

4th 4 |
25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won three races in his first season over hurdles; not scored since, although fair second in a Perth handicap in September 2023 (2m, soft); had a long break after that and was well beaten on his return; should fare better this time. |
