13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates but both his wins have been here, the latest over C&D last July (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; disappointing up in trip here last time (didn't jump well); may have to race run to suit him but will need to jump better. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Largely consistent 10yo who belatedly opened his chasing account at Perth (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last summer; absent since below-par effort in October but ran well when fresh here (2m4f, good) last spring and returns from latest break on a workable mark. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Reasonably consistent and ran respectably on the bare figures over C&D most recently; however, still has a modest strike-rate, which includes a record of just 1-19 in the chase sphere. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Gained last three wins over C&D but they were on good ground; failed to beat a rival on heavy going here (race won by El Gavilan) last time; forecast conditions look unfavourable. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front over C&D (good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; slightly disappointing when well-held fourth in recent selling handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but still enters calculations. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; well held when second in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) this month but the winner has performed well in much stronger company since; probably won't be far away. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
8-59, although his last win came in a two-runner affair at Carlisle (2m1f; 2-5 favourite; all out) in December 2023; latest Carlisle sixth (beaten 15l; 50-1) not overly inspiring; others more obvious. |
10/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has won six times over hurdles, the latest a two-runner affair over C&D (good to soft) in December 2023; a couple of fair runs for this yard last year but pulled up when last seen out in January (reportedly never travelling); others appeal more. |
20/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
On a long losing spell and form figures of 246 this term reflect that a turnaround of sorts is required; admittedly appears well treated if that resurgence materialises, being 7lb below last winning mark. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Three wins over hurdles for former yards; put up a decent effort at Punchestown on second run back after a long layoff; one to consider with more to come. |

24th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
2-2 for new stable this spring, the latter win gained here (2m4f, good); should be fine back at 2m and latest 5lb rise does not look excessive; must be considered in current mood. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Returned from break with clearcut win in selling handicap at Fakenham (2m, good) in February but two lesser efforts followed (chase/hurdle); back from another break today; others have less to prove. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
No win over hurdles since July 2021, and was a remote last of eight in this last year; solid record over fences here - four wins at 3m - which does at least offer some hope, even if he has struggled for form (P84) in his last three starts; might need this off a 232-day absence. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time C&D winner (good-heavy), including this race in 2023; has questions to answer after disappointing on last two appearances but was second on consecutive C&D starts in June/July and can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very disappointing last time at Uttoxeter but was runner-up over C&D in his two previous starts and he's bidding for a hat-trick in this race; nothing wrong with his mark if back on song. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Gave good account when third of 12 in C&D (good to soft) selling handicap in May but has modest 1-22 strike-rate over hurdles and ran poorly when last in action; others appeal more. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner; still relatively early days with this yard and not beaten too far in either run following a break; on a competitive mark. |
6/1 |
|

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with Mark Walford all that long and returned from break with respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) this month; ought to cope if the ground eases here; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
