30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
1-26 under all codes, the win gained off a basement Flat mark just under a year ago; well beaten over hurdles, fences and on the Flat in recent months, and difficult to enthuse over at present. |

1st Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won on the Flat at Bath last September; in the frame in four of his handicaps over hurdles in November-April last term but less encouraging recently and always behind on chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; 28-1) ten days ago; best watched. |

12yo who has not won since 2020 and was well held on his return from a long absence at Leicester (1m4f, soft) in October; back on the sidelines again since and can only watched. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has resumed in good form and a 2lb rise for his recent AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; has yet to win on turf (only run on it once since 2023) but otherwise has a decent chance of following up. |
7/4 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-28 strike-rate (includes five hurdle runs) but was denied a clear run before finishing well for close third over C&D last month and gets another chance off the same mark today; respected. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Twice finished placed here last year (2m/1m4f); not ruled out each-way but this is his first run since October so he may improve for it, and he's won just one of his 27 starts. |

Four-time hurdle winner on slow ground, including over C&D (raced prominently in first-time visor) in April; below par at Ffos Las (2m, good) latest, after a 5lb rise; each-way claims if he can bounce back. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose two 2025 wins were at this track over 1m6f and 1m5f; placed twice over hurdles last November but last week's run in that sphere (after a Flat reappearance here) was disappointing and dents his appeal. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In good form without winning (runner-up over 2m3f at Taunton) before Christmas and should be sharper for a recent fifth on the Flat at Bath; this veteran needs considering. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Has done a lot of his winning in Jersey but he scored here (1m5f, firm) in the autumn and was runner-up over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f) in his final run in 2025; returns after 141 days off but he needs watching in market back on the Flat. |

16th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Continues to drop down the weights but has poor 1-30 strike-rate and hasn't been shaping of late as though a win is imminent. |
25/1 |

8th 10 (10) |
29th Aug 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

took keen hold, prominent, led after 2f, increased tempo and 3 lengths ahead over 3f out, much reduced lead 2f out, headed over 1f out, soon weakened |
33/1 |

7th 2 (2) |
26th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Creditable fourth on stable debut (1m2f, soft) at Ripon in May but not in such good form more recently; well treated now but a bit to prove. |

11st 12lb |
Kept on for third at Worcester (2m, good) in August and should be fine over today's longer trip, but was well beaten (albeit in a higher-grade race) at Chepstow last week and has become unreliable. |
7/1 |
|

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Record of 1-9 over fences so more exposed than some in here but responded positively to cheekpieces in his last two; this does look tougher, though. |
5/1 |
|
1 |
20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Versatile 8yo who is not very consistent but ran fairly well in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning over fences at Southwell (2m, good) in the autumn. |

Runner-up in selling handicap hurdle last month but well beaten on the Flat twice since, and his record over fences is not convincing; blinkers fitted for first time since 2021; too risky. |

13th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

3yo maiden; inconsistent this term but, judged on penultimate effort, may benefit from the reapplication of visor; second run for new yard. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
16th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Eight-race maiden who goes without headgear for this stable debut, having returned to form in a first-time visor when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month on her final outing for Hugo Palmer (sold for 11,500gns); however, Ed Dunlop and Sophie Smith combine well and she's not ruled out. |

40/1 |

13th 6 (9) |
4th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time course winner, all on firm ground (two over further), who's endured two long absences during his career; not entirely without hope in two runs back but conditions would be a worry in first-time headgear. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

Patchy since returning from almost a year off and it's a long time since he went this far; yard been dry for a while and others hold more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Over two years since his last win but he has only had seven runs (three over hurdles) since his Wolverhampton success in January 2024; this winter's efforts need bettering and he ran poorly when tried in blinkers once in the past. |
16/1 |

8 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Hat-trick and good third to Port Noir last four Flat starts; not seen for nearly a year but his ability to get the job done counts for a lot in this; market can guide. |

He's on a competitive mark on his 2021 Flat form and could appreciate the return to this code, but he's struggled on his three hurdle starts this year following a long absence and has plenty to prove. |
