28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but out of form for a good while now, including on this month's two runs (latest a rare Flat run) for new stable; it's therefore hard to see him adding to the trainer's recent winners; Divilabother looks a much better chance for the yard but Harry Reed (who rides most of their British runners) is on this one. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but has been out of form over jumps for a good while now, including when last of six on recent stable debut; this will be his first Flat run since a heavy defeat in summer 2023. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

9-39 hurdles, but no win since quickening clear in a four-runner Class 2 at Kempton (2m5f, good; from 19lb higher) in November 2024; pulled up over fences (bled from nose) on final start for Harriet Dickin nearly four months ago; best watched on stable debut (£6,000 purchase). |

20th Oct 2024 Good 3m 5f 48y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Ran well when 5l third of six to Tommie Beau in this race last year (soft), finishing lame; first outing since when creditable fourth of five in Worcester novice last month (2m7f, soft; tough task at weights) and he could build on that run today; good ground is fine; remains unexposed over fences. |

27th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who made the frame in all three chases, most recently when third in Durham National at Sedgefield (3m5f, soft) last October; has fitness to prove here, though, and is not favoured by the weights. |

Five-time hurdle winner who has produced solid performances in defeat on his first two chase starts (3m, good/soft); interesting contender now up in trip for trainer who has a good record in this race. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (3m2f, good) in September and also has a C&D success on his CV but has not been firing on all cylinders this year (with and without headgear). |
7/1 |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Was entitled to run better than he did back on good ground at Haydock three weeks ago (3m) but that was a strong race; last season's peaks (at 3m2f/3m) bring him right into it off this mark. |
10/1 |
|
10th 7 |
11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Well beaten over C&D (soft) last time; he can be effective on soft/heavy going but better ground may be preferable and he's very much of interest on his fine efforts last autumn, when winning at Kelso (3m2f, good) and finishing second of 20 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft); on the shortlist. |

Won four on the bounce here last summer (2m6f-3m1f; soft/good) but has looked a little out of sorts this season, for all that he shaped a bit better last time after further wind surgery. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft); lurks on a good mark but looked out of sorts here on both appearances this season and needs recent wind op to have made a difference; tongue-tie refitted. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft), including this race a year ago; needs to rebound from a disappointing run here (3m1f) last month but is back on a workable mark and can't be ruled out. |

Dual Flat (at up to 1m6f) and dual hurdles winner (at up to 2m1f) when trained in Ireland; well beaten in all nine starts for this trainer and plummeting in the handicap; new headgear now tried (has won in blinkers); watching brief advised unless market vibes strong. |

His mark continues to tumble and he's worth a market check, but he was pulled up in summer 2022 on his final three runs for Joseph O'Brien and his struggles have continued for this yard. |

11st 11lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and he didn't run badly when fifth of eight at Kelso (2m6f, soft) last month; one to watch in the betting but this 11yo needs to raise his game to return to winning ways. |

16th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Won a Cartmel handicap (2m6f, good; wore cheekpieces) off this mark last July; in with a chance when taking a heavy fall two out here (3m2f, good) in September but he's not fired in his last two runs; has something to prove again and he's ideally suited by quicker ground. |

3-11 at Cartmel but all three of those wins were in the summer of 2021 and he's mostly been off the boil over the last two years; last month's run (here) was his first for 237 days and perhaps he needed it; yard runs four. |

Veteran who was as good as ever in winning at Kelso (2m5f, good) and Ayr (3m, good to soft) last year and his Doncaster third in December was no backward step; has won after a break in the past so he needs taking seriously. |

Posted a couple of reasonable fourths at Perth (2m4f, good) in August/September and continues to drop down the weights; however, he was soundly beaten at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |
