28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Rewarded determined ride when keeping on strongly from poor position to lead on the post at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; visored) in February but again raced lazily at Stratford (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in March, where he was beaten before final-flight fall; worth a go over this longer trip but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task; visor refitted. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has patchy profile but he's feasibly treated on best form and was disputing second when he fell at the last at Taunton (2m, soft) in final run last season; returns after almost a year off but conditions are no problem and he needs a close look on first run for Olly Murphy. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles on good to soft, at around 2m (acts on a sound surface); stays 2m5f; some way below his best since last spring; well treated on form of almost a year ago if bouncing back but has that to prove. |
10/1 |

6th 7 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Out of form on slow ground during the winter but his recent fifth at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) was a step back in the right direction, and he might be seen to better effect if the ground is genuinely good here. |
20/1 |
|
5th 7 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Well below best on soft/heavy ground in recent months and not yet proven beyond about 2m5f but now very well handicapped on last spring's good-ground form, and the drying conditions here offer renewed hope. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made the most of a reduced mark when justifying support and gaining a first win since 2023 when scoring at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; remains well treated on past form back up 6lb and likely to be in the mix again. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Without a win since 2023 but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and ran surprisingly well over 3m last time at Wincanton when all his form is over shorter; goes on soft. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Remote when third at Newbury (2m4f, soft) last month and remains winless since 2023; however, the form of his keeping-on fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) two starts ago has worked out well and he's too well handicapped to be ruled out on this first attempt at a staying trip. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Went close off 8lb higher in this race (good) last year but he's generally struggled since (Flat and hurdles) and was a remote fourth of five here last time; that took his losing run to 12 and others are preferred. |
15/2 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won over 1m6f here last August off 3lb higher but below form since; showed a bit more when third of five over C&D (good) 19 days ago, however, and a further 2lb drop in the weights gives him a fighting chance. |
5/2 |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Now 1lb lower than his win here over 1m6f (good) last August but he's been well beaten in three starts this summer, on this track and at Ayr; bit to prove. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won by 36l over C&D in July but that race fell apart and he hasn't threatened since, beaten about 14l returned to fences the last twice; could be on a tough mark (that last win was off 12lb lower) but this is weak. |
11/8 |
|
4th 2 |
25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt over fences when strolling home by a wide margin at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but that race took little winning and he was then beaten 8l into third off the same mark back over hurdles at Uttoxeter; seemed to struggle with the 14lb rise when only fifth on his return to fences here on Saturday (2m5f). |
4/1 |
|
5th 3 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Came good for new stable at fourth attempt, with huge-margin win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; managed only third off same mark over hurdles a week later and a 14lb hike has now taken effect but he still needs to be taken very seriously. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles, including from a mark of 77 at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last September; low-key in points since joining Tom Fife, failing to beat a single rival at Hornby Castle and Witton Castle; most unlikely candidate. |
40/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Stayed on best for a successful stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) with this headgear combination back on; raised a fair 5lb and gives the impression that he'll stay this far. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |

Flat maiden who is 1-12 over hurdles and was third off 3lb higher on her final jumps run in June (2m4f, good); could go well on first run for Fergal O'Brien with a tongue-tie/cheekpieces reapplied. |

Didn't run badly on the Flat in July but has been disappointing over hurdles since winning a mares' novice at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in February and others have more pressing claims. |

Had somewhat mixed record during first season over hurdles but won a Sedgefield novice (2m4f, soft) in February and confirmed her wellbeing with a pretty good Flat run this month; could have a say. |
