7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner who won two handicap chases in a row last summer (2m1f, soft/good) before easy novice hurdle win at Bangor (2m3f, good); however, he hasn't been at his best on his three runs since and has to bounce back. |

Three wins from 2m-2m3f last season (good/soft); below his last winning mark but needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Aintree ten days ago. |

17th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Six-time chase winner, the last twice off today's mark; probably not ideally suited by heavy ground when respectable fifth in series final at Carlisle (2m4f) last month but others appeal more all the same. |

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 |

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. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Easily the most experienced over fences, and a 2m4f win here (good) off 17lb higher rounded off a spring 2024 hat-trick; no successes since, however, and it's a push to say this step up to 3m has long been needed. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won three chases in a row (2m-2m4f, good-soft) in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; beaten out of sight when 20-1 at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; revival needed. |
10/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Completed chase hat-trick in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; May's second of three at Ludlow (2m4f, good) was encouraging but she's been soundly beaten since and was weak in the market when an early casualty over C&D last month; easy to look elsewhere. |

Very well handicapped on exploits for previous stable but has yet to run a race of any great note for current yard; lots to prove right now. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |

Ex-Oliver Greenall; wasn't in the best of form when last seen out (on unsuitable soft ground) late last year; can do better on this ground particularly as 14lb lower than for last win (2m4f on good to firm at Ludlow in 2022). |

Winless since 2021 and he came in a well-held 11th after eight months off in 2m4f Worcester handicap chase nine days ago; others are more persuasive. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Runs off a mark 10lb lower than when fifth of 14 in this last year, beaten just over 13l; he's run a couple of reasonable races this season but hasn't shown enough to suggest he's the one to be on today. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Led close home to win this race off 5lb higher a year ago (soft ground) and was seemingly perked up by cheekpieces when third on both outings last month; made up considerable ground from the rear at Sandown (1m7f, soft) on latter occasion and has strong claims here if the headgear continues to aid him. |
15/8 |

3rd 9 |
31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Acts on any ground; half-length second off 4lb higher in this contest 12 months ago; out of sorts this term until posting a resurgent effort, behind solid rivals, in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor most recently; enters calculations in the retained headgear. |

Made pleasing return from nine-month absence when third over C&D (good) in July but two poor performances have followed and it's hard to predict what sort of mood he'll be in today. |

4th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Fine effort when third at Worcester (not far behind Trapista) 15 days ago, on his return from nine months off; has to back that up but enters the argument if he can repeat that run. |

Has put together a series of solid runs this spring/summer (once under Brian Hughes), the latest when not beaten far at Stratford last month; that took his losing run to 17, however, and others more compelling. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |

Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Kicked off for this yard with three wins in handicap chases and added a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester; not sure what happened back there last time in a handicap hurdle but it wasn't his true form; does have to carry a penalty. |
