27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Mixes chasing with hurdling and he's stuck on a losing run; last three efforts thoroughly underwhelming. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and has continued in good form, finishing second on his last two starts (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); very solid claims. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Record of 212 since switched back to hurdles from chasing, the win at Wetherby (2m, soft) in first-time cheekpieces; Musselburgh effort (1m7f, good to soft) last time resulted in a career-best RPR; should go well in the retained headgear. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |

Both his wins have been over 1m7f at Catterick, the latest off this mark in February 2024 (soft); several fair efforts since, including after a 325-day break last time; each-way chance. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft); well beaten here last month, after a layoff, and Miss Maverick is unlikely to allow him an uncontested lead today but, nevertheless, his course record can't be ignored. |
20/1 |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft), including the last two editions of this race; absent since poor Flat run in October but there's a good chance he'll be primed to make a bold bid from the front today. |
10/1 |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner (good to soft); returns to this code after a successful spell over hurdles; was below par when seen here (1m6f, good to firm) in June but it would be no surprise to see him closely involved now on slower ground, back up in trip and from 2lb lower. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Regressive 9yo but ran okay in this new headgear combination last time when rallying into fifth, finishing behind Mojo Ego and Heart Above; that's something to build on; Alan Doyle claimed 5lb that day but can't now. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Regressive 9yo who is yet to add to his C&D win in June 2022; ran well for a long way when placed at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month but was soundly beaten here a fortnight later; cheekpieces refitted today. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won readily in first-time tongue-tie at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June but her form has slumped since; can be excused her most recent defeat (on heavy ground) but still arrives here with a point to prove. |
14/1 |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

Won a mares' handicap at Southwell in June (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie); reportedly never travelled when tailed off here next time and failed to get involved from out the back at Stratford (2m2f; 28-1) latest; goes back up in trip with a bit to prove now. |

1st Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |

Signs of promise over hurdles, notably when runner-up in a novice handicap at Sedgefield in March (2m1f, soft); could go well back from a break. |

12th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
No match for comfortable winner when second on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in March but that still goes down as a decent effort, and he may not have been suited by the heavy ground when below that form over same C&D last month; could have a say here. |

C&D winner but he arrives below par, only sixth of eight in 14f Carlisle handicap 33 days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 6 |

Three wins on the Flat, the latest at Redcar last September (1m6f, good to firm); hasn't been at his best this year, although fair run when 10l fourth of 12 at Beverley last time (good to firm). |

Got up to a rating of 126 after winning four handicap chases on the bounce at up to 2m3f (all on soft or heavy) for Gary Moore two seasons ago; has been rather disappointing since but reverts to hurdles on a very good mark. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Hit the ground running for this yard, winning two good-ground chases and then only beaten about 1l when third of four at Bangor in June; sent off favourite to exploit a lower hurdle mark back there in July and reportedly became fractious during the preliminaries; might be a shade high in the weights now but that might not matter in a race lacking depth. |
6/4 |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Revitalised by switch to new stable this spring, winning two good-ground chases (one here); only beaten about 1l when third of four here a fortnight ago and now reverts to hurdling on a 9lb lower mark; could still have more to offer for his new trainers. |
7/4 |

3rd 4 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Turned inside out by the fitting of a tongue-tie, following up last month's C&D success from out of the weights with an even more emphatic Worcester win six days later (2m1f, good); handicapper not slow to react, but hard to know where his ceiling might be. |
