12st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways after six months off in 4m1f hunter chase at Warwick (good) 22 days ago; effective over this much shorter trip and this likeable front-runner is not out of things. |

1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |

Highly impressive 26 finishes in the first four (eight of them wins) from 30 rules/pointing runs for the Owens, with stamina proven up to 3m6f; all-the-way hurdles winner over 3m2f here just last autumn (good), and likelier than some to run his race. |

11st 8lb |
Won three times in early part of year and was back in good nick when close fourth (hampered close home) over C&D (good) last month but may find others better handicapped in this stronger race; cheekpieces refitted. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times in early part of this year, most recently here (3m2f, good) in April, but seemed to have gone off the boil on last two outings in May/June and current mark demands a career-best performance. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Ridden by Robbie David on last eight outings; won four of his 15 races last season, with a stack of place returns as well; latest win was off a 5lb lower mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, followed by a creditable second there but he was pulled up at Southwell five weeks ago; has bounced back before but this is a tough race in which to do it. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed off 4lb higher on chasing debut at Leicester (2m6f, good) in early 2023 and won over hurdles in good style last summer; good claims on that evidence but was well beaten on last two hurdling starts, having bled from the nose both times, and comes with risk. |

Off the mark (12th attempt) with an emphatic win at Southwell (2m4f, good) last summer but she bled from the nose when tailed off at Worcester in September; has had a break since but she doesn't have a great record fresh. |

Back with previous trainer for whom he made his debut in a bumper; won a C&D handicap two years ago for Robbie Llewellyn but signed off for that yard in modest form; bit risky. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Progress as a hurdler has flatlined, but he's 5lb below his highest winning mark on Tapeta, and although yet to record an RPR above 56 in four Flat turf starts this is easier than any of those; cheekpieces added. |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Travelled strongly when third of six on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June and he won over staying trips on the Flat which suggests he may have potential at this distance; however, he has to bounce back from two below-par runs over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good); unraced on slow turf. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Patchy form last August-October and this is her first run since; however, she may be better around this time of the year than she is in the autumn and she won after a similar absence last June; not ruled out. |

10st 5lb |
Ten-race maiden; back over hurdles when returning from a 543-day absence at Huntingdon (3m1f, good; fourth of nine, beaten 39l) recently; is entitled to strip fitter for that comeback run and, even from 3lb out of the handicap, this represents a realistic next objective. |
