31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
3-14 over fences, the latest win gained at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November; just a respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) this month, his second start after a layoff, and remains on fairly tough mark but still enters calculations. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has three wins over fences but was beaten 28l when fourth of five finishers at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) four weeks ago on his return from a winter break; still 6lb higher than for his last success and others look better handicapped. |

Had form figures of 23243221 last year and he was as good as ever when scoring at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November; has won when fresh in the past but he's 7lb higher than last time and this is highly competitive on his return. |

11st 11lb |
Rather in and out this season but he beat two other finishers in 2m4f contest on heavy ground here in February, and that success was no bolt from the blue; more is required off a career-high mark but the step back up in trip should suit and Freddie Mitchell's claim is a plus. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Easy win at Wincanton (3m2f, heavy) in January and bounced back from Haydock flop to win at Exeter (3m6f, good) recently, despite a bad mistake; clearly on the up and his stable has won two of the last six runnings. |
9/2 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Tended to jump left on last two outings but that didn't stop him beating recent Midlands Grand National winner Isaac Des Obeaux by 21l at right-handed Wincanton (3m2f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) on first occasion; pulled up in valuable Haydock marathon since but will be fine on the forecast good ground here and is a contender if back on song. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Running well in defeat this season, including over an extended 3m4f, before producing a career-best in a first-time tongue-tie to win easily at Wincanton (extended 3m2f, heavy); hit with a 9lb rise but he was impressive last time and could have more to offer in the tongue-tie; respected. |

Second of 15 on chase debut at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) in December and ran below market expectations next time (2m7f); question marks over today's distance but that penultimate effort commands respect. |

13th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Six wins on Flat and over hurdles but ended his time with Gary Moore on a low note and little sign of a revival for new yard; limited appeal with first-time visor replacing cheekpieces and tongue-tie discarded. |

22nd Jan 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |

Became disappointing for Gary Moore last season (often racing lazily) and was safely held on stable debut at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November; subsequent wind op might have helped but others look less risky. |

Well beaten in 2m Chepstow handicap in October, after a long absence, and did not achieve a great deal when remote second in a seller over that trip here the following month (first-time cheekpieces); revival needed. |

Did well over fences last season, winning three times; below form here last month, after a layoff, but might have needed that outing and usual cheekpieces are refitted for this bid to exploit his lower hurdle mark. |

Runner-up over C&D (good) off 2lb higher in February and reverts to hurdling after two respectable chase runs this spring; probably won't be far away but overall strike-rate now stands at 0-18 and others in this line-up appeal more. |
