1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
10yo with a record of 3-30; has patchy profile and was tailed off at Warwick last month but he finished a close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Similar type to Thankyourluckystar, being a 10yo who finished second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but seems unlikely to go one better in this field, against opponents who are mostly less exposed. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Currently in a consistent vein of form, having posted form figures of 2212 in last four appearances; ran creditably when bidding for Fontwell double (2m5f) last time; solid chance. |

9st 5lb |
It's now 15 runs since his last success but this course winner posted a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; he's one for the shortlist. |

Winner of 12 races under rules including two here, but losing run up to 16 and he ran poorly at this venue (1m4f) a fortnight ago; enough to prove. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over fences here (2m, good) in June 2023 but was well beaten here on both starts this autumn (2m4f hurdle/3m chase); still has stamina to prove over this sort of trip and is 3lb wrong today; others preferred. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Chase and four-time hurdle winner (1m7f-2m5f) for this yard whom he has rejoined after two runs for Tom Gretton; well handicapped on old form but last success was 19 months ago and he's lost his way in last four runs. |

Chase and four-time hurdle winner (1m7f-2m5f) for this yard whom he has rejoined after two runs for Tom Gretton; has lost his way and reappears for the first time since October, but record fresh bodes well. |

12st 1lb |
Multiple winner over hurdles and fences; went down narrowly after a break at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) and he's hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ended last year in excellent form over fences, with latest fourth coming behind the seriously progressive Thistle Ask; whereas he's 5-18 in that discipline and only 1-13 over hurdles, he's probably a better horse now than when last seen in this discipline; 5lb lower than his chase mark; front runs. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Front-runner who can be tough to reel in on his day and has left his rivals trailing in completing a hat-trick in small fields at about 2m4f (latest in a match); has gone up a collective 20lb but he loves this good ground and looks sure to make a bold bid. |

23rd Jul 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but generally very disappointing over fences since joining current yard last year; tailed off behind Opening Bid on latest start in May and effectively 15lb higher from out of the weights here. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but generally very disappointing over fences since switching to current stable last year; pulled up on latest start in January; tongue-tie removed after one use; not the obvious answer. |

16th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed several times over hurdles, including at Graded level, for previous yards; nowhere near that form since joining current stable and switching to fences; fitting of tongue-tie needs to have major effect. |
