4th 2 |
19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has yet to build on a good third back from a break in May, although he faced a stiff task from out of the weights in a Class 2 at Uttoxeter last month; down 2lb and this is easier but he's become unreliable and others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Close third (just behind Coastguard Station) at Kelso (2m1f, good) last month, despite not jumping particularly well, but was below form on next outing and has become very unreliable; 1lb wrong here; cheekpieces refitted. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Took to fences immediately at Stratford in May (2m7f, good; RPR 117), and running to the same level on far softer ground at Uttoxeter since was highly commendable; credible contender off an unchanged mark. |

3rd 5 |
17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Took to fences immediately at Stratford (2m7f, good; RPR 117), and a 4lb rise for that narrow success isn't excessive; missed a subsequent engagement here due to soft ground, so the wet forecast has to be a worry. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner but he's struggled at massive prices in three Flat runs (1m/1m2f) on Polytrack; now switches to a low-grade handicap but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f. |
25/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Hurdle/chase winner who has offered very little in his two runs on the Flat. |

Hurdle/chase winner, but sent off 400-1 when well beaten on his belated Flat debut over C&D in October; no appeal on first start since. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Very inconsistent nowadays and needs to bounce back from tame effort in valuable handicap hurdle here three weeks ago but ran well from the front when second in C&D (good) chase in May and has claims if judged on that. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Quickly switches back to hurdling after good second over fences here (2m1f, good) last month; does not have much margin for error off current mark but will cope a lot better than some of these if the ground ends up heavy. |
8/1 |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Six-time hurdle winner on soft/heavy ground; reverts to fences on a tempting mark but was well beaten in his only previous chase (in October 2023) and there may not be enough rain about for him today. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
8-59, although his last win came in a two-runner affair at Carlisle (2m1f; 2-5 favourite; all out) in December 2023; latest Carlisle sixth (beaten 15l; 50-1) not overly inspiring; others more obvious. |
10/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has won six times over hurdles, the latest a two-runner affair over C&D (good to soft) in December 2023; a couple of fair runs for this yard last year but pulled up when last seen out in January (reportedly never travelling); others appeal more. |
20/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
On a long losing spell and form figures of 246 this term reflect that a turnaround of sorts is required; admittedly appears well treated if that resurgence materialises, being 7lb below last winning mark. |

9yo with six successes to her name; now 7lb below her last winning mark but not seriously threatening to take advantage, fading when fifth of seven at Hexham on latest; needs a revival. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race. |
9/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting. |

Won twice over fences in France in 2022 but he is 0-8 in Britain; modest form this season and although he's already come way down the weights, others still have more pressing claims; blinkered on last two starts. |

Won twice over fences in France in 2022 but is 0-7 in Britain; travelled strongly in the lead for a long way in first-time blinkers at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) last month but weakened in the home straight and was beaten about 17l in the end; others have more pressing claims. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won four-runner race by 19l at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) in February and showed better form when second in competitive races on final two starts last season (2m, good to soft/good); could still be on a good mark after latest 2lb nudge; must be considered. |

2nd 6 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Can be hit and miss in the jumping department but his profile over fences is generally progressive and he backed up February's Sedgefield romp with good second in fairly valuable series final at Carlisle (also 2m, good to soft) one month ago; respected. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Can make mistakes but not last time at Sedgefield when beating three rivals with ease (2m, good to soft); that race rather fell apart and he's up 7lb; could be vulnerable. |

15th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Has rediscovered some form on last two outings, more recently when clear second at Hexham (2m, heavy) last month, and remains well handicapped on past exploits but some of the others appeal more all the same. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive and inconsistent veteran; seemingly perked up by change of headgear when close second in refitted visor at Perth (2m, good) last month and remains on a very good mark but it's not easy to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again here. |
8/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |

Exposed; goes well on testing ground but latest win (off 10lb higher) was on good ground at Ayr in November (2m) when returning from a break; beaten 20l when eighth over C&D last month (good to soft; blinkers replaced regular visor); visor back on today; well handicapped, but a bit to prove. |

Four-time hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences (despite a lower mark) and was beaten a good way at Hexham (3m) on his return to this discipline after a break; the other two appeal more. |

Four-time hurdle winner, including over 2m on heavy ground here; decent second over fences at Sedgefield in October (3m2f, good) but last two runs have been over hurdles (took a heavy fall when running well last time); a possible. |
