24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who has form figures of 11631 at Fontwell; has mixed record this season but he went close at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) on his penultimate run and was rallying in a close fifth when he unseated two out at Kempton (2m, good) last time; one of two runners for the yard and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |

Gained his spring/autumn wins last year at about 2m; ran well over 2m4f at Plumpton most recently; may remain competitive, back down in distance. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won four times over hurdles when trained by Seamus Mullins but yet to be placed after five runs for new stable this year (hood added last time); on a good mark now and some rain might aid her cause but she needs to turn things around. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained last two wins over fences; not in the best of form since joining this yard in the spring and stable's other runner, Mi Sueno, looks to hold a better chance. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained last two wins over fences; has refused to race; ties in with two of today's rivals on C&D form last time (third start for new yard) but isn't certain to back up that effort, having become unreliable. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Caused 40-1 shock over C&D (good) in early part of last season and posted a couple of good efforts here in June but was pulled up at Market Rasen last month and is not easy to predict. |

Ran well behind Rocks Up Late three starts back and again back at Worcester when well out of the weights; a poor run behind Greenways since was a reminder of his inconsistency. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Just 2-32 under rules but both wins were gained over C&D on good ground, the latter when keeping on just too strongly for subsequent winner Flashy Boy last month; 5lb higher now but a likely contender again. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success in 31 attempts under rules came over C&D in July last year but he's lacked consistency since and, following a promising fourth here in June, finished 19l behind My Girl Katie over C&D the following month; has claims on his best form but comes with risks. |
10/1 |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole career success came in this race 12 months ago and a recent close fourth here behind Edgewell should have teed him up for his defence; nothing wrong with his mark for all that he's 1lb wrong. |

Bumper winner last year; made slow start to her hurdling career but kept on well for creditable second of 16 on recent handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) and is open to further improvement over today's longer trip; major player. |

Dual chase winner last November but he's lost his way over fences and hurdles since the turn of the year; on a good mark if the first-time visor has a positive effect. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Fifth career win when leading late on at Kelso (2m5f, good to firm) and that was only his second run in blinkers; has no penalty. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
All four wins (2m4f-3m) came in the spring of 2025; this 9yo's form has deteriorated but he's dropped down the weights and finished second of five at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) last month in first-time blinkers (retained); major player if backing up that latest performance. |
