21st Apr 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
12-time winner over hurdles, most recently when exploiting plummeting mark at Southwell (2m4f, heavy) this month; still well handicapped on older form and today's trip-and-ground combination should suit him better. |

4th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
11-time hurdle winner (albeit not since 2011); well beaten on all four outings this year but is sliding down the weights and may yet stage a revival; worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
The four-timer came up short when a close second to Pounding Poet over 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good) but that was no backward step; a 2lb nudge does her no favours but this C&D winner is shortlisted. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Progressive mare who kept on resolutely to win similar race to this over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) last month and has now won three in a row; another 7lb higher today but still makes obvious appeal. |
4/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Completed a hat-trick early last season and better than ever on her latest two starts for wins at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) and Warwick (3m2f, good); up 6lb into a much more competitive race and wears first-time cheekpieces after a fairly workmanlike display from the front last time. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Recorded back-to-back wins at Perth (2m4f) and Market Rasen (2m7f) last summer; should strip fitter for his first run after nearly nine months off when third at Kelso (2m5f, good) last month and holds claims. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Won handicaps on good ground at Perth (2m4f) and Market Rasen (2m7f) last summer; returns after a 263-day break; interesting contender. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Back-to-back good-ground wins here (2m4f) and at Market Rasen (2m7f) before performing well short of his best on soft at Cartmel; still looks on a competitive mark. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back. |
7/4 |

5th 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Won a 3m4f handicap chase at Leopardstown in March of last year (yielding); this season hasn't gone so well but it wasn't too bad a run on his return to fences at Downpatrick last time (3m4f; yielding to soft) and unwise to put a line through him. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 6lb |
Good form last winter, notably winning a 3m4f handicap chase at Leopardstown; struggled in the spring in the Scottish National and in a valuable Punchestown handicap; should be better for a recent hurdles run. |
14/1 |

6th 3 |
4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Rated 26lb higher over fences but pulled up in final two starts in that sphere last season; seasonal return over hurdles at Navan in September was disappointing when beaten 35l at 6-1 (2m3f, yielding); big chance if on a going day. |

4th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-17 over hurdles; on a good mark now and his poor run behind Ismael on heavy ground in December can probably be overlooked but he'd appeal much more on a quicker surface. |
