14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Form for new yard features a win over hurdles in November and good second over fences last time, both in Class 4; this is a harder task. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Bled from the nose when pulled up in his only previous attempt at chasing in November 2024; inconsistent profile over hurdles but did win his penultimate race off just 3lb lower. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Not at best for Roger Teal last season and signed off for him with heavy defeat in March but was given a wind up during the summer and makes stable debut from a tempting mark; tongue-tie fitted; dangerous if revitalised by new regime. |

10yo who is very lightly raced for his age; won at Southwell (2m4f, good) last May and has also scored on heavy ground; however, he failed to threaten over hurdles then fences last June and this is his first outing since. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has 1-54 career strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022; this year's Flat handicap form is uninspiring but he'll appreciate this ease in grade and is worth a glance in the betting. |
14/1 |

5th 8 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has poor 1-53 strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022, and was soundly beaten on both outings this year (11.4f/1m2f); might be perked up by the refitted blinkers, though, and Billy Loughnane is a good booking. |

11st 10lb |
Smart chaser in his prime; on the downgrade now and has rather mixed record over hurdles this season but lurks on a very tempting mark and ought to handle today's ground well; will be very dangerous if perked up by first-time blinkers. |

22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Six-time hurdle winner, most recently in five-runner race at Worcester (2m7f, soft) last month; still on workable mark after recent 3lb rise but needs to bounce back from poor Flat run 12 days ago. |
8/1 |

10th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Won his latest race over hurdles two weeks ago and that after finishing runner-up on the Flat (2m1f); clearly in good order and won't mind this ground. |

27th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Consistent under both codes since joining the Flints, narrowly missing out at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in July; similarly close second the last time a stayers' trip was tried in March 2023 off 6lb higher; chance. |

18th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |

raced lazily at times, in touch with leaders, mistake and jockey unbalanced 2nd, not fluent 5th, outpaced and lost position before 4 out, soon no impression, tailed off |

15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-13 over hurdles and largely reliable, with no ground worries; won what was effectively a match on reappearance at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) in November and ran creditably at Warwick on sole start since; relatively exposed but firmly in calculations. |

10th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Yet to fire over fences but his best hurdle efforts would make him of interest off his reduced mark; better ground could help, as could blinkers, and he's one to watch in the market. |
4/1 |
|
6th 2 |
23rd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Soundly beaten in the autumn on his two chase starts but didn't run badly when fourth of six at Wincanton last time in a race that has worked out well; this lightly raced 7yo is on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form and today's race may not take much winning; interesting. |
