27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win on the Flat came here over 1m2f in June 2024 and he's finished runner-up over this C&D on his last two outings; no reason why he can't go well again. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

Course winner who comes here on the back of a good second over C&D 11 days ago; can go well again eased 1lb. |

Gained most recent win in handicap hurdle in December; beaten only 2l over C&D last week, taking Beverley record to 1423234; hasn't scored on Flat since June 2024 but looks a solid contender kept to this venue. |

7th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-17 over hurdles but on a competitive mark and his recent Flat effort when close up at Ripon (1m2f) bodes well. |

20th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Won over this trip at Beverley last July (heavy); now 2lb lower; quite interesting particularly if there is some give in the ground (below-par reappearance run on faster ground). |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day. |
8/1 |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Heavy-ground winner here in late 2023 and this year has added two Bangor handicaps on good to soft and good; only 4lb higher than for the latest (by a length) and the front two were clear. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored over 2m3f here (good to soft) in April and was close second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) the following month; disappointed when last in action but, if back on song, could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip. |

Only 4lb higher than when a convincing winner of this race last year (on soft) and ran as though his run 15 days ago would bring him on; couldn't discount. |

13th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won a handicap hurdle for Micky Hammond, whom he left for £4,000; respectable first run for this yard at Lingfield (2m hurdle, soft) but he may still be a shade too high in the weights on this belated return to fences (won in France). |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
French hurdle/chase winner who is one to watch in the betting on his third stable start, but he's struggled over fences/hurdles on his first two runs in Britain and a major turnaround is required. |
