26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won well at Hereford (3m1f) last December; absent since creditable second at Huntingdon in February; has a modest record when fresh but market support should be noted. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won here last April and registered his second handicap win when comfortably in front at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft) in December; the latter was his first attempt at this sort of trip but he flopped when 7-4 favourite at Wincanton five weeks ago; major player if bouncing straight back. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Looked back in good nick when scoring over C&D (good) in March but ran poorly and was pulled up at Uttoxeter last month (trainer blamed the good to soft ground); has become hard to predict. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Got back in the groove after three months off when landing a gamble at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; back up 4lb in the weights but she still looks feasibly treated and has form figures of 12431 under Tom Broughton; key player. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A dual 2m hurdles winner last season but she failed to take to chasing early this term before beating only one back in this sphere in 2m4f Wincanton handicap in December; she has plenty to prove after a break. |

Chance on last year's peak form but he appears to have lost his way; quiet so far for current yard. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has the form to feature off this mark but in two runs for this yard he's been tailed off over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut. |

1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Failed to build upon quite encouraging handicap hurdle debut (2m4f) when safely held over 3m last month but might be perked up by blinkers here, and his Irish point third in 2023 bodes well for his chasing prospects. |

Record of 3-8 for this yard and her only real blip was last time at Bangor; record here rates a big positive and she could easily bounce back. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |

3-7 for current stable since the autumn; lost out only by a neck when second at Perth (3m, good) last month and may yet have further improvement to come; must be considered. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism at Perth (3m2f) last time, taking form figures for current yard to 211231 and record under Sean Bowen to 3-3; respected with further progress plausible. |

10st 4lb |
0-14 over hurdles but lost out only by a neck here (2m6f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in July and ran much better than bare form of 26l defeat might suggest at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last week; might be the answer. |

Close up in two Irish points last autumn but little to show for his runs since in two points and four hurdle races; tailed off with cheekpieces on handicap debut (2m4f) last time; has since had wind surgery. |

11-race maiden over hurdles but has made the frame in all four starts at this track; tailed off at Fontwell recently following a four-month break but the return to this track could see her back to her best. |

Ran game race from the front when close third of six at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in June but we haven't seen her again since and she's 0-10 over hurdles now; others appeal more. |
