15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Won at Exeter and then a close fourth at Sandown (2m4f, good); could put a line through his subsequent races on account of heavy ground and a trip too far; respected. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Exeter (2m2f) in November and creditable fourth at Sandown (2m4f) next time, before heavy ground might excuse his latest start; this, however, is his first foray beyond 2m6f, after 37 races and at the age of ten. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |

November's Exeter win looked unlikely but he stayed on much the best over 2m2f on good to soft; not beaten far off this 6lb higher mark at Sandown (2m4f, good) when close up behind Henri The Second who won easily back there last weekend; thoroughly exposed but enters the equation for sure; has won on heavy. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-11 over hurdles when scoring at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May but he's been vulnerable as favourite in last two starts; drops back in grade after a respectable fifth at Worcester (beaten around 6l) two weeks ago but he needs to find more progress back in trip. |

5th 3 |
5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
3-10 over hurdles (2m-2m5f, good); improving 6yo who made a good start for this stable when a close fifth at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and duly built on that when justifying favouritism at Warwick (2m5f) the following month, both times ridden by Megan Bevan; drop back to 2m shouldn't be too much of an issue and he's a big player off 4lb higher. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft); well beaten here last month, after a layoff, and Miss Maverick is unlikely to allow him an uncontested lead today but, nevertheless, his course record can't be ignored. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 |
27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft), including the last two editions of this race; absent since poor Flat run in October but there's a good chance he'll be primed to make a bold bid from the front today. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (9) |
2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner (good to soft); returns to this code after a successful spell over hurdles; was below par when seen here (1m6f, good to firm) in June but it would be no surprise to see him closely involved now on slower ground, back up in trip and from 2lb lower. |

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 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Veteran with seven hurdling wins on his CV; returned from layoff with fairly encouraging 2m3f run three weeks ago and may be better suited by this sort of trip nowadays but younger rivals appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Veteran who held on narrowly to capitalise upon some help from the handicapper here (2m7f, good) last summer, his seventh hurdling success; back down to the same mark now but had gone off the boil again when last seen in the autumn. |
14/1 |

Just held on to win off a reduced mark at Bangor (2m7f, good) in September and is only 1lb higher here but he's getting long in the tooth now and wasn't quite in the same form on his last two appearances. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |
9/4 |

1st 1 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

Dual course winner (3m1f/2m6f) on good ground but the latest was nearly three years ago; tailed off behind Pateen last time and presumably rejected by Charlotte Jones who rides stablemate Secret Secret. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Very inconsistent nowadays and needs to bounce back from tame effort in valuable handicap hurdle here three weeks ago but ran well from the front when second in C&D (good) chase in May and has claims if judged on that. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Quickly switches back to hurdling after good second over fences here (2m1f, good) last month; does not have much margin for error off current mark but will cope a lot better than some of these if the ground ends up heavy. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |

Six-time hurdle winner on soft/heavy ground; reverts to fences on a tempting mark but was well beaten in his only previous chase (in October 2023) and there may not be enough rain about for him today. |

Made a winning debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m) in 2022 but his form has been in and out since and he was pulled up on his return over 2m6f here 30 days ago; others are much preferred. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
