23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Mudlover who has won four times over fences and he's run creditably at Warwick (3m, good to soft) and over C&D (soft) in last two starts; finished behind Lumi Plugin last time but he should give it another good shot and any rain would be a bonus. |
9/4 |

3rd 3 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Mudlover who was out of sorts in just three runs last winter but ran well for a long way in a better race than this at Bangor (3m, soft) in April and kept on gamely when third at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month; this more testing ground will suit better; solid claims. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |

22nd May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner in spring 2023; however, there's been little to shout about in the meantime and, while the return of this headgear is probably a good thing, this 11yo has too much to prove. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual C&D winner in spring 2023; he's not fired in the same way since and is now 11 but took second back over C&D last May (4lb lower today); absent since November and the lack of any equipment is striking (for a start, he's been tongue tied all starts under rules) but he's worth a second look. |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
11yo who hasn't been at her best over fences on her two runs this term; however, she reverts to hurdles after a wind op, off the same mark as for her hurdle win at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last April; not ruled out. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runs off a mark fully 10lb lower than when winning over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in January 2023; however, he's been a long way below that level this season over fences and the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt major improvement. |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Hurdle winner of 5lb higher in early 2023; entitled to have needed the run when well-held fifth on return to chasing in November but dropped away very tamely in straight at Chepstow in January and comes here with some questions to answer. |

Bumper and 2m6f hurdle winner on soft ground; formerly with Ben Pauling, for whom he lost his way; changed hands for £2,000 in February; cheekpieces go on; best watched on first start for this trainer. |

15th Jan 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Paul Nicholls; has a couple of thirds to show from his five starts for Evan Williams but has been no closer than 24l; wouldn't be the percentage call. |

3rd 4 |
16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
2-5 in novice hurdles for Paul Nicholls last season; well beaten in four handicap chases on soft/heavy ground for new stable this autumn, the latest just one week ago, but this much quicker surface ought to show him in a better light; interesting. |
20/1 |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |

2-5 in novice hurdles for Paul Nicholls last season but hasn't shown much in three soft-ground handicap chases for new stable this autumn (2m-2m3f) and comes here with a lot to prove. |
