A better chaser than hurdler and defied 12st with a game performance at Carlisle (3m, good); 7lb rise might not be too damaging and he'll be fine back at 2m4f. |

28th Dec 2024 Good 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
11yo who belatedly opened his account here (2m2f, good) in September, his 21st start over hurdles, and has remained in good form since; probably won't be far away but younger rivals have more potential. |
7/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Course regular who is 1-27 under rules, though the win came over C&D (good) in September; still 8lb higher and more exposed than most, but should still run his race back from a short break. |

Ran well when third (albeit well held in the end) at Stratford (2m2f, good) in July and had excuse for subsequent poor performance (irregular heartbeat) but he's 0-20 over hurdles now; others preferred. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
With James Owen for 18 months (Scottish National fourth in April) before joining this yard; Borders National win at Kelso (4m, soft) in December was his best form for nearly two years and he kept jumping to his right, so reverting to a right-handed track today may well help; back up 5lb but shortlisted. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |

Only 1-10 (hurdles win) during his spell with James Owen but ran respectably in the Scottish National on last appearance; sold for £24,000 since; headgear removed; heed the market signals. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Won over hurdles in December in a first-time visor, which he also wore next time and returns today; well held with first-time blinkers in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham one month ago, taking sixth in that 3m2f race for the second year running; new trip but he's not persuasive. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has three wins over fences but after finishing last of four at Hereford last month, he exploited a lower hurdles mark when successful at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; needs to use that momentum back over the larger obstacles. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Better known as a chaser now but was third in a better race than this when reverting to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy; also suited by good) last month, and subsequent 32l defeat over fences came in a good-quality contest; must be considered. |
3/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |

Seven wins in all, most recently at Market Rasen and Ludlow this time last year; didn't shape too badly over hurdles at Warwick (jumped right) last time, and this return to fences on a right-handed track should suit him; not ruled out. |

11st 10lb |
Both of her wins (bumper and maiden hurdle) were at this track and they have been her only two visits, the latter two years ago; fair fourth with first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (3m) in December but back in the doldrums since; visor takes over and she returns to Huntingdon, so there are potential positives. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

Responded well to cheekpieces when fourth at Doncaster in December (3m) but soon back in the doldrums; much depends on what effect the visor might have. |
16/1 |
Verdict
Bumper winner GROZNI posted a career-best performance when winning over fences at Downpatrick in August on his final start for Charles Byrnes, and he is taken to follow up on his stable debut. The similarly useful Baron De Midleton may well be the stand-out danger, and perhaps Boomslang will be best of the remainder.[Ben Hutton]
