21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Didn't fire in 3m1f race won by Judicial Review here last month and is not one to rely upon but ran big race when third to Defence Witness over C&D (good to soft) in May and has obvious claims if judged on that form. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Three wins over fences and ran well when beaten just over a length into third of seven behind Defence Witness here (2m5f, good to soft) last time; 2lb better off and has won off 1lb higher, but has been pulled up in all three previous attempts beyond 2m5f; stable also runs Unwanted Attention. |

Kept on well to collar an idling Beat The Edge and score at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in February but it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution, and he managed only fifth when back at Sedgefied (2m5f, good) the following month. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences and has been out of form on his last two starts, most recently when a 31l last of five at Southwell (2m, good) in June on his return from a break; that run may have been needed but other candidates appeal more. |

Productive spell over hurdles culminated in a hat-trick last spring; 0-4 switched to fences since but ran encouragingly at Chepstow most recently; clear possibilities off a reduced mark. |

Respectable sixth over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in March and now 4lb lower than when winning in that sphere last spring but lacked fluency and was pulled up on his only previous chasing attempt (in December). |

Gained his breakthrough victory at Carlisle (2m3f) last April and wasn't disgraced after 11 weeks off when a fading fifth of 12 in 2m3f Doncaster handicap last month; he should take a step forward now. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Jumping has been an issue but it's improved in his last two races when runner-up behind winners who were well backed and well handicapped; has course form; big shout. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

He's fallen/unseated on three of his five starts over hurdles but was going well when exiting two out at Stratford (2m6f, soft) last month and ran well when runner-up to well-backed winner at Bangor (3m, good) a fortnight ago; major player granted a clear round. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Maiden; three times third over hurdles; 0-4 over fences and yet to complete the course, yet he was bang in contention when falling two out at Stratford three weeks ago (2m6f, soft; has form on good); if avoiding the mistakes he should have a role to play. |

11st 2lb |
Weakened to be beaten 22l last time at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and all his three wins have been at about 2m; wouldn't be the obvious answer no matter how well the new headgear works. |
25/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won for the third time over fences at Worcester in October (2m, good; by 18l); has a chance on that run but best form has been at shorter (jumped poorly when well beaten on last completed run at 2m4f); acts on good to soft but he's not a real mudlark. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
4-9 over fences; creditable second in Class 2 chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) this summer and filled same position behind revitalised opponent at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; holds each-way claims at least. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

4-8 over fences; ran big race when second of ten in competitive Class 2 chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) on latest outing six weeks ago and is only 1lb higher here; probably best suited by good/good to soft ground but has been placed on soft; major player. |

Only win came courtesy of the stewards' at Newcastle (2m6f, heavy) in January 2024; was returning from a lengthy absence when runner-up to a Skelton-runner at Newcastle (2m4f; 18-1) in March; realistic prospect of easing conditions would aid his cause. |

In-form 7yo who comes here after two narrow wins at Market Rasen (both 3m+, good); latest 4lb rise ought to be manageable and this drop back in trip won't be a problem; big player if suited by this different track. |

Occasionally inclined to put his head in the air, but recorded a 2m5f win here off 1lb lower this time a year ago (good) and last month's comeback third was among his better runs since; does stay this far. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Very opposable on this season's exploits but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point; worth checking the betting. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Made disappointing start to chasing career this season (three attempts) and reverted to hurdling with a heavy defeat and a fall last month; lurks on a good mark but needs to turn a corner. |
