3rd 3 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Record of 6-17 over fences after doing it comfortably at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) where Buckna was back in third; a likeable type who looks sure to give his running and be heavily involved; 5lb rise is fair. |
7/2 |

1st 6 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Record of 5-16 over fences and he defied today's mark with a 12l win in this race (good) last year; has not seen much action since but he returned after four months off with a creditable fourth at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) last month; should benefit from that run and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |
11/4 |

4th 3 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He wasn't in the best form coming into this race last year (good to soft), yet he battled hard for a narrow win and then followed up by 12l at Chepstow (good); only 2lb higher than for the latter win and could very easily stage a revival. |

6th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up at Worcester in June, on penultimate start for Emma Lavelle; disgraced himself on stable debut at Cartmel 11 days ago and aids worn there quickly left off; have to be doubts for now. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Had failed to finish his previous three chasing attempts so last month's C&D second was a welcome return to some form; not sure that was the strongest of races but the effort puts him firmly in the picture here. |

30th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Took well to first-time visor at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month, opening his account; may build on that success and show further progress in the retained headgear; respected up 7lb. |
9/4 |
|
1st 7 |
5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden; hasn't looked straightforward but has been placed in two of most recent three starts, the latest when just behind Ahead Of The Field over C&D last month; visor could well help him take another step forward. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
15th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Holds solid claims on the form of his Uttoxeter third in May but he came in a remote fifth of seven in 3m Market Rasen handicap 24 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Six-time chase winner, most recently when finishing well to lead close home at Perth (3m, good) last month; it might be wise to treat the form with a degree of caution but he's only 1lb higher here today and is very well suited by this track. |
4/1 |

15th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Tried in blinkers instead of usual cheekpieces when just a fair third of seven in 3m Perth handicap chase in April; a bit more is needed if he is to resume winning ways. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Held every chance when he fell two out at Wincanton in December but he's unpredictable and hasn't repeated that form since; impossible to know how he'll react to first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) but, off his last winning mark, he can't be discounted. |
4/1 |
|
7th 3 |
27th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Still in the firing line when he fell two out here in December but he's hard to predict and produced a lesser effort at Warwick in the race won by The Kings Writ, and he has won there; capable but risky. |

As good as ever last summer, winning twice over 2m4f (good to soft/soft); has won over 3m2f in the past (hurdling) but has performed poorly on either side of a break and he's knocking on now. |

11st 10lb |
Got off the mark for his current yard over hurdles at Lingfield in November and he's largely run well over fences since, fourth of nine in C&D handicap 29 days ago; he can go well again in a refitted tongue tie. |

Began this season with a soft-ground hurdle win and lost out only by a short head over fences here (3m, heavy) last month but ran poorly on his latest outing and is not one to rely upon heavily. |

Without a victory since 2020 and this unreliable veteran made mistakes when pulled up at Ffos Las (3m) last time; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

22nd May 2023 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Pulled up on first three starts for Richard Phillips and never looked dangerous before battling on for modest fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago; remains a difficult horse to enthuse over. |

Ex-Irish teenager who has been pulled up on all three outings for Richard Phillips, the last twice after returning from a long absence this year; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today; big leap of faith required to support him. |
