15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Hasn't had much go right in his last two starts and is best known for his Polytrack exploits, as when successful off 4lb higher at Kempton (1m3f) in April; finished second of 14 over this C&D as a 3yo, though, so certainly one to be interested in. |

2nd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All three wins have been on Polytrack and last two have been off higher marks over C&D; has mixed record since his last success in April but he was creditable fourth of 13 here last time and has claims if he can built on that. |
6/1 |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Not far behind Ludo's Landing at Beverley before a poor show at Epsom (soft); now 0-13 on turf but he's 3-12 on the AW and that includes a C&D success; nothing wrong with his mark. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form. |
10/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out. |

5th 2 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again. |

Fairly useful at up to 1m4f on the Flat, winning two of his 16 races, but he makes this hurdling debut following two poor shows on Flat in August; wore cheekpieces latest and bled from the nose. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
C&D winner who defied a ten-month absence when making a successful stable debut at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in January, but a rise in the weights seems to have found him out twice since. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (12) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights during a winless spell with Mick Appleby and returned from a ten-month absence to make a winning start for new connections over C&D in January; had a bit up his sleeve that day and a subsequent defeat over 1m4f probably shouldn't be taken as evidence the handicapper has him as he was still in front entering the final furlong; player back at 1m3f. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner whose losing run is up to 17 but he had dropped 14lb below his last winning mark when beaten less than a length into third of seven here four weeks ago; respected if building on that. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who is versatile ground-wise; well handicapped on best form last season but he was out of sorts in the autumn and needs a major revival after six months off. |
6/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

Three handicap wins (one on soft) at 1m2f, the latest in July 2024; 11lb lower today but he's basically gone off the boil this season. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner who last scored over 1m2f at Windsor (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in July; runner-up over C&D in October, however, and confirmed this trip holds no fears when second again at Nottingham (also good) 18 days ago; player. |
7/1 |

2nd 6 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Had 1m2f wins last April (here), June and July; kept his form well, including when second in October on his only attempt at 1m6f; recent reappearance was another creditable show here and he has each-way claims. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Generally consistent gelding who won three times last season including on his reappearance over C&D (good; 3-1) last April; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid after 166 days off. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race. |
9/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting. |

Hasn't been seen in going on two years (has been dropped 5lb and gelded in the interim); made the running more than once and should be able to get his own way against several hold-up performers if that's the plan; the market will give some clues. |
