25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Flat bred but won his first two chases (2m, good), albeit with luck on his side the second time when left clear; latest run when last at Stratford just wasn't his true running; still looks competitively treated. |
2/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Not bred for chasing but is 2-2 since switched to fences in May; might have been fortunate at Perth last month (2m, good; leader fell at final fence) and is 2lb wrong here but still features prominently in calculations. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Flat/hurdles scorer; not totally fluent but easily beat Nathan Wells over C&D (good) last month on chase debut and looks open to further progress in this sphere; could well defy a 7lb rise. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft) in December and returned to form at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago, when he was narrowly in front when falling two out; won over hurdles here last May and he's on the shortlist. |
5/2 |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
He's failed to shine on his three starts since his chase win at Musselburgh in December, last time tailed off over hurdles here; however, he won three times last year, including over hurdles here, and is not written off. |

Three wins, the first over this C&D on soft, last year; hasn't been at his best on last two starts but has an each-way chance. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Maiden who showed patchy form over hurdles and was well beaten last time, but he was a good second at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) two starts ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and his trainer's horses often make better chasers; this 6yo is not ruled out. |

Nine-race maiden who ran well in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow most recently, finishing 1l second to El Vigaro; may build on that effort; possibilities in the retained headgear. |

Won two novice hurdles last year (2m/2m1f) but has finished last in his two handicaps; now fitted with a tongue-tie; wouldn't want rain. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Worcester maiden and Fontwell novice winner last summer/autumn; unseen since a 19l ninth of nine on October's Wincanton handicap debut, but retains vast handicapping scope judged on his smart Flat form; can go well fresh though doesn't always. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made all to win a 2m novice hurdle here last April and follow-up effort when runner-up in a handicap at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) was promising; however, both hurdling efforts since haven't been so good and he was a mid-race faller on last month's chase debut; should stay this far and he's on a competitive mark if recapturing initial promise. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won the novice hurdle (2m, good) on this card 12 months ago; he needs to improve upon what he produced in two handicap hurdles in February but the return to Hexham could help and he might be suited by the switch to fences. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won twice over fences last year for Rebecca Menzies but four lesser runs since have seen him slip down to his last winning mark; has switched stables since his last run in March and any significant move in the market should be noted. |
9/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Won this 12 months ago off 2lb lower on the back of a wind operation; got himself back on track when not beaten too far at Sedgefield last month so could put up a respectable defence. |
12/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won over C&D (soft) last January and followed up at Carlisle (2m, good) in March; very much of interest on that form but he's struggled on both outings this season and needs to turn things around. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Dual course winner (2m2f/2m5f) in the autumn; not in same form lately and untested over this far but back on a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up in this last year and he won two in a row at Kelso (2m2f/2m5f, good/good to soft) in the autumn; patchy form since but when pulled up at Kelso last time he was contesting the very competitive Morebattle Hurdle; drying ground will aid his cause and it will be no surprise if he runs well. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Moderate form prior to wind surgery but appeared to have benefited from that when running on to be a close second here (2m4f, soft) recently; step up in trip looks positive; up 2lb but he's a player if backing that up. |

Beaten 50l+ at huge odds in three slow-ground maiden hurdles during the winter and unseated rider on handicap debut in March; significant improvement required. |

8th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled to get competitive when a big-priced outsider for three maiden hurdles (twice over C&D); has more realistic chance to get competitive in this low-grade handicap but still makes only limited appeal. |
