27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has plenty of form around here over hurdles and fences, and very nearly won this race 12 months ago off 1lb higher (under Charlotte Jones); ran surprisingly well when 125-1 for a Class 2 at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
10/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Hurdles form (handicap winner over 2m4f-3m1f) does not look quite good enough in this higher grade and the form of his winning chase debut at Cartmel last July has been followed by heavy defeats in both starts since (ridden by this 10lb claimer on latest); others preferred. |
33/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
For one who stays 3m2f he did well to make a winning chase debut over 2m1f here (soft; effective on soft) a month ago; Brian Hughes rides again off a 6lb higher mark and should go well if his jumping holds up. |

27th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
His last three wins have been over fences but he's a four-time hurdle winner who can deal with this mark if ready to go after his absence; seems fine on all ground. |
14/1 |

20th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Last three wins have been over fences but it was over C&D when beaten 3l two weeks ago (good to soft), having fared best of those held up; considered. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 |
6th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Seemingly back in good form when second at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in August but didn't fire at Sedgefield last month and he's probably best suited by good ground (albeit has won on heavy). |

12th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Positively ridden returned to 2m4f here two weeks ago (good to soft) and didn't see it out quite as well as the front two; up another 2lb but looks sure to be involved. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Last four runs have been at 2m on good ground, the pick when winning off 7lb lower at Warwick in May and his recent seconds at Uttoxeter and here; clearly in good nick but he's been down the field in his two previous 2m4f races under rules. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Off the mark at Warwick in May (2m, good) and better form when second of five at Uttoxeter in June (form franked by the third); creeping up the weights but should remain a force at this level. |

Runner-up off 7lb higher on his final run over hurdles in April 2021 but has been well held in three Flat runs since returning from a long absence. |

21st Aug 2023 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |

On a reduced mark and took a step back in the right direction over C&D last month on his second start back from a huge absence, but he was still soundly beaten and needs a bigger performance this afternoon. |

in touch with leaders, not fluent 4 out, soon lost ground, rallied and headway before 2 out, pushed along when joined leader last, soon led, ridden and kept on run-in |

28th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he got back on track with fourth of ten on reappearance at Warwick (3m, good) last month; was only beaten around 5l in that race and has claims if he can build on that; cheekpieces reapplied. |
8/1 |

30th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Triple chase winner at up to 3m, all on good; well below par in all three starts since finishing a close third at Stratford last October; sliding in the handicap and now drops in grade, so can't rule out a revival. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised 9yo who won stylishly on good ground over C&D and at Ffos Las (3m) last month; contests a much stronger race today but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |
5/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

In-form 9yo who won four-runner marathon at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in pretty good style last week; also very well suited by this C&D and ground slower than good; respected under 7lb penalty. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Formerly useful on the Flat and a dual hurdle winner in spring 2022; signed off for Brian Barr below form but was only 3-1 on debut for this yard at Bangor and after losing ground quickly it was reported that he bled; likely contender should the wheels stay on. |

4th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |

Useful on the Flat in his prime, and a dual hurdle winner in spring 2022; ended last year with some disappointing hurdle runs for Brian Barr but makes stable debut from a very dangerous mark; can't be ignored. |

15th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Keen-going sort; two novice wins last spring but little impact in four handicaps since; continues to slide down the weights and may revive on good ground at some stage. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

19th Jul 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Ex-Irish maiden whose close second in a beginners' chase at Down Royal in May of last year (RPR 131) is head and shoulders above his other achievements; tongue-tie added for British/stable debut and needs checking in the betting. |

Never lower in the weights but he's nothing like the force of old and remains opposable. |

22nd Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

4th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on form shown for Nicky Henderson but generally very disappointing for current stable since the spring; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |
