19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner from 20 attempts over fences; returned to form when second to It's A Breeze here last week where he wasn't unlucky despite some late interference; should run well with a repeat, but can be inconsistent. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark. |
13/2 |

5th 7 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won two chases at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April and May 2025 but has been more miss than hit since, with both runs this year underwhelming; reverts to hurdles with a visor added off a fair mark but needs to turn things around. |

10st 13lb |
Subject of a gamble when runner-up at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in January, but hasn't matched that effort since including on his first start back with his former trainer (following a second wind operation) at Fakenham (2m, good) last month; others preferred. |

11st 2lb |
Won a 1m claimer on soft at Gowran in May 2023; best run over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice for this yard in January (2m, good to soft); not done as well for two different trainers over hurdles and on the Flat since; on a good mark and interesting back with Tony Charlton having had wind surgery. |

29th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Favourite for bumper debut at Ludlow in October but never in the picture; has run in better hurdle races than this in the meantime, at Sandown and Kempton, and has hinted at ability; considered down in class. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Pulled up on two of his three starts this season, including on chase debut in February and when tried in this headgear combination back over hurdles last time; has undergone wind surgery since but still looks best watched. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has shown only the odd sign of ability over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut last month; 5lb out of the handicap back hurdling; cheekpieces (tried once) join the tongue-tie of last three starts. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Mixed results (U15) since wearing cheekpieces and switched to chasing; disappointing favourite on good ground last time; rebound needed in the retained headgear. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner who made it second time lucky over fences when beating seven rivals in a Bangor handicap (2m2f, soft) last month; up 5lb but he turned things around with that comfortable success and should have more to offer in this sphere; key player. |
7/4 |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has run well on good/good to soft but reportedly benefited from switch to heavy ground when bouncing back to form to win by 7l at Ffos Las last month; subsequent 5lb rise is not excessive but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Back to within 1lb of the mark for December 2024's Hereford win (2m, good to soft), and only one of just three starts since has been over this short a trip; possibilities if sharp enough after five months out. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ended 2024 with narrow win at Hereford (2m, good to soft) and returned from break with two fairly good runs at Stratford (2m2f/2m) this summer; needs to find extra here but is unexposed over the trip. |

Tenth foal; half-sister to point/2m chase winner Doc Carver; dam unraced half-sister to very useful 2m5f-3m5f (including Aintree Fox Hunters') chase winner Trust Fund; probably one to watch on belated debut. |

Displayed a significant jolt of improvement when winning by over 6l at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in December, her third handicap, and posted another good effort when keeping-on second at Exeter (2m2f, good) last month; has stamina in her pedigree and commands respect on this first attempt at 3m. |

Pedigree more about the Flat although one sibling was a winning hurdler; from a leading yard and should come on for her bumper debut at Musselburgh last month when not beaten too far; hurdle debut. |
