4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Won comfortably off reduced mark at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in March and has also performed well on both outings since, more recently when fourth at Sandown (2m4f, good) nine days ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham but still enters calculations. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Exploited reduced mark when winning quite comfortably at Ludlow last month and was one of two to pull clear of the others when second at Ascot (also 2m5f, good) ten days later; no surprise if he features. |

Won sole start here; two years without a win after that but, with tongue-tie removed and second-time cheekpieces, he then obliged comfortably at Ludlow (2m5f, good) ten days ago; back up 6lb but has returned to serious calculations. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner on heavy ground in March; five months off before doing well back on the Flat this August/September, notably when clearcut winner at Chester (1m4f, soft); third in useful 1m5f event here (heavy) five weeks ago; major each-way claims. |
9/2 |

3rd 15 (11) |
21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner on heavy ground in March; five months off before showing improved Flat form when a close second at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) and clearcut winner last Saturday at Chester (1m4f, soft); up another 5lb; a rising force, with more to prove away from soft ground but the recent rain looks a big positive. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner in March and returned from five months off to finish a good close second back on the Flat at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago; pulled 4l clear of the third so a 3lb rise looks more than fair. |

24th Mar 2024 Good 1m 7f 152y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
No great shakes on the Flat; placed in both completed starts over hurdles, behind the very smart Burdett Road first time out and then 9l off Royal Way at Ludlow; better off at the weights with that rival and drying conditions are probably a good thing on handicap debut. |
9/1 |

3rd 10 |
7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Flat maiden but showed promise; had a subsequent winner behind him when no match for the talented Burdett Road at Huntingdon (good to soft) and the heavy ground proved all too much for him in a Listed race at Aintree; should be a factor back down in class under more suitable conditions. |
6/1 |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Talented maiden on the Flat and bumped into subsequent Grade 2 winner Burdett Road when well-beaten second on last month's hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft); open to improvement in this code and not ruled out. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Looked quite promising in juvenile hurdles for Harry Derham in early 2024 but absent since disappointing handicap debut in April of that year; changed hands for 1,200gns this May; probably best watched on stable debut. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Some ability in defeat on the Flat; similar sort of form in his first three completed runs over hurdles before running no race last time at Haydock; handled soft on the Flat but now gets the chance to show what he can do on very different ground (soft or heavy so far over hurdles) and it coincides with his handicap debut. |

No better for cheekpieces or this headgear combination in his last three races and he's now 0-15; unconvincing. |

Couple of tough draws since switched to a visor from cheekpieces, finishing second on his side of the course at Lingfield back on turf last time; that was a decent effort in the circumstances and he should go well. |

Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

Both wins have come here, the latest over this trip (good to soft) in November; may have found the ground too testing when a long way behind Aire Spray back here last month, but others look more solid nonetheless. |

10st 13lb |
Off for more than a year since narrowly beaten over hurdles on his debut for his new jumps-oriented yard last March; that came after almost a year off, so he can go well fresh; market useful under a jockey who's ridden two winners over hurdles this year. |

Non-stayer upped to 2m3f on final start for Sir Mark Todd last May but previously a keeping-on third at Wincanton (1m7f, good) to a good subsequent winner; interesting switched to a handicap for in-form new yard. |

Anonymous effort at Taunton latest took his record over 2m3f and beyond to 9P8, inclusive of one outing over tonight's C&D; mixed returns in a hood before now, so no guarantee which way he'll go for the visor. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Flat winner (1m2f, good to firm) who is 0-9 over hurdles but he was a rallying third on his reappearance here (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he looks worth another try at this trip; not ruled out with hood removed. |
