11st 9lb |
Hasn't kicked on since winning a novice hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good) in December 2023 but he showed spark in a first-time visor (retained) in a handicap at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last month, before fading, and is not written off now back down in trip. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from nine runs over C&D; will need a career-best off this mark, though, and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh (off since January). |

27th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

His three AW wins have all been here, the latest over C&D over Christmas off 3lb lower; could bounce back from a lesser show at Southwell. |

Has gained both AW wins at Wolverhampton but ran well in sole C&D attempt; got going too late last time (1m6f) and holds a fighting chance off current mark back up in trip. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-4 over fences, the last two wins gained by wide margins in small fields at Doncaster (2m3f, good/good to soft); shooting up the weights but evidently in very good nick. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Got right back on the up when making it 2-3 over fences in C&D handicap two weeks ago; hiked up 8lb but well on top at the finish there so he's a big player for stable well among the winners. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Disappointing at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but reportedly unsuited by that tight track; prior to that he won here (2m, good to soft) on his chase debut, and his last two hurdle wins came over 2m3f; has a strong record at this course and could play a leading role now back here. |

14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won two-runner British maiden point (3m, good to firm) in April 2022 and kept on for fair fifth of nine on last month's hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good), which was his first run since May 2022; unraced on slow ground and others have better form, but he's open to improvement now up in trip. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |

Easily won two-runner point in 2022 and made quite promising start to rules career when fifth of ten in good-ground Aintree bumper in May of that year but has not been seen since a lesser bumper run a fortnight later. |

9st 9lb |
Won on his second stable start (and second run since wind surgery) in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (1m4f) last month, getting up late having lost a lot of ground when hampered around half a mile out; big player here. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who landed a novice hurdle last March; it's been slim pickings in the main since and he was soundly beaten on his recent stable debut at Southwell; however, he was sent off the 4-1 joint-favourite and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three races in 2024; inconsistent since but ran well when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day; two poor runs since but has undergone wind surgery and a first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces; interesting if the market speaks favourably. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for two defeats of late; sole attempt in cheekpieces resulted in good second at Kempton (2m5f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied headgear. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Surprising to see the cheekpieces left off as they were on for the first time when pushing an improver close at Kempton (2m5f, good; all wins on good to soft); he was 12l clear of the third so a 4lb rise could have been worse; respected. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Signs of ability in a 2m Flat race in France; has shown pretty much nothing in three hurdle races for this yard (latest in a tongue-tie) but he's a dark one now sent over fences for his handicap debut and raised significantly in distance; market needs a check. |
5/2 |

27th Jan 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Sixth of 14 in 2m Flat race last April on his only run in France; 15-2 for British/hurdle debut at Doncaster last month but he finished tailed off and it was the same story back at that track two weeks ago; still early days in this sphere but he needs a transformation with tongue-tie added. |
