1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Very well in with Petit Tonnerre on their Doncaster clash in January, after which he ran okay in the Grand Annual before a disappointing run at Aintree; this mark isn't beyond him and he returns with his stable ticking along very nicely. |
9/2 |

Generally quite progressive over the winter and there shouldn't be much between him and Dr T J Eckleburg on Haydock form (2m, soft) in November; however he couldn't play a part in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham in March and he's been left on the same mark in another warm race. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won five over hurdles for previous yards and three over fences last term for current trainer; may have needed the run when seventh of eight finishers at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month after six-month layoff but probably needs to come down the weights. |
6/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who did well over fences in the second half of last year, with three wins and two seconds; returns after six months off but he's only 2lb higher than for his last success and he has won when fresh in the past; needs close look back over hurdles. |
8/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 2-8 over fences, with both wins gained this summer in small-field handicaps on good ground; put in his place by an improver in a novice last time; dangerous if allowed to dominate (front runs). |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Without a win since 2021 but has made the frame on all four starts this season, most notably when second at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) two runs ago; continues to slip down the weights and has possibilities if the first-time cheekpieces give him a boost. |
9/1 |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins divided between hurdles and fences; has raced mostly at about 2m but seemed to stay Sedgefield's extended 2m3f (soft) when runner-up three weeks ago; drops into a Class 5 here and must have a chance. |

11st 12lb |
Not getting any younger and no longer the force of old but posted a sound effort when third over C&D (soft) last month and is another 2lb lower today; can make his presence felt again. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Ended a losing run back hurdling at Worcester (2m) in June but pulled up there 41 days ago; he reverts to fences now with a bit to prove. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Belated return to hurdling when scoring by a short head over C&D in June but failed to back that up when behind a couple of these at Uttoxeter; others appeal more. |

Regressive form this season; drops back to an easier level but doesn't have the ideal scenario; this front-runner has gained all chase wins in much smaller fields. |
