15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Up in class and up in trip (by some way) having never gone beyond an extended 3m; however, he's got low mileage as a chaser and won eased down last time at Carlisle (good to soft); handicapper saw fit to raise him 9lb for that but if his stamina reserves can stretch this far then he might not be far away. |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (heavy/good to soft; including here) who scored at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago on his third chase start; led close home having been outpaced and today's stiffer test should be right up his street; firmly in calculations up 4lb. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful staying hurdler who has won six of his 13 races, two of them last season, at Haydock in December (3m, good to soft) and at Warwick in March (3m2f, good to soft); not so good last time but these conditions suit and he could bounce back. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Back in good form this winter, including on last two starts (good to soft) when he prevailed narrowly over C&D in December and battled back for a clearcut win at Warwick (3m2f; from Porter In the Park) four weeks ago; raised another 4lb but the return to a sharper test is more of a worry. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
A thorough stayer who has won over fences; back in good form over hurdles following a break and seemed to do just enough when prevailing narrowly at Haydock (3m, good to soft); every chance off this 5lb higher mark. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten between 17l and 33l in his last three hunter chases, getting outpaced at trips from 2m5f to 3m1f; tongue-tie is now added; probably playing for minor money. |

3rd 2 |
1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Outpaced on all four starts this year, latterly in hunter chases at Stratford (2m5f) and Exeter (3m), on which evidence the marathon on this card might have been a more comfortable fit; others are more persuasive. |
20/1 |

3rd 8 |

Won over hurdles in 2023 for the Hobbs/White operation; beaten in two points before finishing well held at Stratford recently. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |

Three wins over hurdles when trained in the UK and was Grade 3-placed; below that form in four chase starts for this yard and has to stage a revival. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 11lb |
Three-time hurdles winner for Gary Moore; yet to get his head in front in six chase runs; soundly beaten both completed starts for this stable and pulled up on latest at Navan (3m, heavy); leap of faith required to back him here. |
33/1 |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Three hurdle wins in Britain at 2m4f-3m on softish ground; not so effective in three attempts chasing before joining this stable; need to step up now after unplaced runs in a Galway novice event and a handicap at Cork. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Record of 3-9 over hurdles for Emma Lavelle and was nicely on top in the finish over 3m at Kempton the final time (May; ground was good but he's effective on soft); since changed hands for £21,000; has his quirks but likely to win more races for his respected new yard. |

2nd Dec 2022 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Shaped well in a point before changing hands for £155,000, and he made an immediate impact over hurdles when winning seven-runner novice at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft; 15-2) with plenty in hand; looks a useful prospect at least and needs to be taken seriously. |

5th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
In a 7l third when falling at the final fence on his debut in an Irish maiden point (3m, soft to heavy) in March; the first two have since joined leading Irish yards and this fellow was sold for £155,000 in April; there's every chance he'll have a bright future under rules and he's a possible. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Jumped well when winning his second chase start at Warwick in September (3m, good to soft) and was reportedly struck into next time at Chepstow, which was a hot novice handicap; retains plenty of potential. |

11th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Sound jumping was a feature in his recent 3m win at Warwick (second chase start; good to soft); up 8lb in a race that will take appreciably more winning but with fitness on his side he's hard to dismiss. |
7/2 |

1st 2 |
24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Likes Market Rasen and he kept digging (after getting outpaced) to be close up on his chase debut there last month (3m, good); ran well here over hurdles and, off an untouched mark from last time, he should be in the thick of it. |
