24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Kicked off for this yard with three wins in handicap chases and added a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester; not sure what happened back there last time in a handicap hurdle but it wasn't his true form; does have to carry a penalty. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Bangor (2m4f, soft) off 3lb higher in October 2023 but out of sorts in four starts since and pulled up in July when possibly finding his stamina stretched by 3m2f; hard to recommend on recent form. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Largely consistent in early part of last season, and deserved his hard-fought win at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; fell on reappearance outing in May but last month's Worcester run was not as bad as eventual 39l defeat might suggest, and that outing might have brought him on. |

Largely consistent in early part of last season, and deserved his hard-fought win at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; fell on last month's reappearance outing but has possibilities here if all goes to plan; refitted blinkers the headgear of choice today. |

10st 13lb |
Was quick to make his mark for his current yard when bagging 2m4f Huntingdon handicap hurdle in February but he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth at Hereford (2m4f) 38 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back though. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner whose form dipped in May/June and he fared little better over hurdles three weeks ago; should be sharper for that now back over fences but needs to find some spark. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Six-time chase winner (once here); competes off lower mark on this rare hurdling start but was not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring and needs to have been refreshed by three-month break. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden who is 0-6 since switched to chasing, best effort when second in small field at Catterick three outings back; each-way hopes on that form but he's not solid. |

20th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Pulled up in first two chases but has fared better on last couple of outings, more recently when staying-on second of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; a contender here if coping with the slower ground. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish veteran who holds weak claims on his form for current yard and is a shadow of his formerly smart self; drop in class may help to some extent but others have stronger claims on recent evidence. |
