23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Good second at Sandown (1m7f, soft) in January and ran well before fading into 14 third at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; however, his best form has come on soft/heavy ground and such conditions seem unlikely today. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who goes well on slow ground; he returned to fences at Hereford two weeks ago and looked booked for second when falling late on; has a chance off 1lb lower. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Mud lover who suffered big defeats both starts over fences for Jonjo O'Neill; couldn't land a gamble on his fourth outing for this yard when second of eight over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; suitability for chasing and this trip unproven but weighted to be competitive. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
2-13 over fences and 0-19 as hurdler; ran creditably on penultimate start but tailed off latest and they were both C&D; not the percentage call. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
In fairly good form over fences this season and ran big race when third in C&D (good) hurdle 16 days ago, looking likely winner until succumbing in closing stages; up in grade today but still on a good hurdle mark; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor; can make his presence felt again. |

3rd 2 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won two chases on ground slower than good in December (2m4f/2m3f) and has been running fairly well over fences this season; well beaten when reverting to hurdling last month but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is on a good mark. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has done her winning at about 2m, latest at Ffos Las in February; soundly beaten on last four starts, with moves back up to about 2m4f/3m for last three; her one piece of 3m form was back in January 2022 but she is back 4lb lower than her last winning mark. |

7th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Returned from long absence with two low-key runs for new stable in the autumn but last month's Uttoxeter fifth (2m, heavy) in refitted cheekpieces was much more encouraging; twice a winner over 2m7f for previous trainer and has travelled from South Wales to tackle this marathon trip; interesting. |

Two of his three wins (including over C&D) have come here; looked rusty after 11 months off when seventh of nine in 2m6f handicap at Cartmel in July; no surprise to see him take a step forward here. |

Showed only minor promise in his qualifying runs and was well beaten (albeit on heavy ground) when switched to a handicap at Uttoxeter (2m) in January; moves back up in trip here; significant improvement needed. |

Came good over hurdles in low-grade Southwell handicap (2m, good) in June and has remained in good nick since (2m-2m5f) but others in this line-up have stronger form and/or more potential. |

Southwell winner in June (2m, good) but was no match for Parikarma next time and again wasn't at his best when a beaten favourite at Perth; cheekpieces are replaced by a hood that hasn't done wonders for him previously; stamina to prove over this far. |

His mark continues to fall but this 7yo remains a maiden after 21 rules starts and recent evidence doesn't indicate a win is imminent. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made it 0-20 under rules when pulled up over fences at Ayr last week; however, before that he posted two fair runs over hurdles (2m5f/2m) and shaped as though he would benefit from this longer trip; well treated on last spring's chase form; could appreciate the return to hurdling; interesting. |

11th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |

19-race maiden; placed in handicap, a couple of hunter chases and in two points last year; two fair runs over hurdles this term after wind surgery; well handicapped but others appeal more. |
