11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Having had wind surgery he returned to form with a win at Taunton (3m, soft) last month; he's 4lb higher in this hotter race but appeared to idle in front last time so could have more left in the tank; has won on good to soft ground, unraced on good. |

11th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Tailed off on handicap hurdle debut on final run last season and has struggled over fences on both runs this term; something to prove but he's had a wind op, which may help him recapture the promise shown when third in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) last January; not ruled out. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Last won when scoring by 12l off this mark at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) in February 2024; only one start last term and he finished eighth of 13 on his comeback at Lingfield three weeks ago; that run wasn't devoid of promise, though; could step forward. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |

Dual hurdle winner in 2023-24 season (2m3f/2m5f); absent since respectable fourth at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in October 2024 but resumes on a good mark; market may guide. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Made a bad mistake on penultimate outing but he won starts either side and latest was the 4m2f Midlands National at Uttoxeter (soft) in which he was always prominent and asserted by 8l on run-in, with Git Maker in third; up 7lb but his only attempt at a marathon trip brought a clear career best. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Beat none other than Haiti Couleurs over hurdles; their respective careers have headed in very different directions and this 8yo is only 1-7 over fences, the win coming in a small field at Exeter two runs back (3m, heavy); since then he lost his position after a bad mistake at Wincanton (3m2f); may yet have more to offer over an extreme distance such as this but he certainly needs it. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Returned from one-year absence with good second on chase debut at Exeter (3m, heavy) in December but looked out of sorts when pulled up last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on return to hurdling. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Low-mileage 10yo who was 5-12 over hurdles; having his first race over fences when a 5l second to Isaac Des Obeaux at Exeter (3m, heavy) where he needed some driving but kept on well; this stiffer stamina test could be up his street. |

7th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 7f 98y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Got up near the finish in this race 12 months ago (heavy) and warrants respect in his bid for a repeat win, notwithstanding a 5lb higher mark and lack of recent match practice (off since April). |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Won four times over hurdles last season (2m7f-3m) but chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn and he was soundly beaten when back over hurdles on Boxing Day; needs to get career back on track. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
In excellent form in the spring, completing hat-trick with ready success in series final at Haydock (3m) in April before going very close in another competitive handicap over that C&D (also on good) in May; obvious contender if in similar nick after 168-day break. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last season in excellent form, completing a hat-trick with a ready C&D success (good; Thank You Ma'am second) in a quite valuable series final three weeks ago; last two wins were under today's claiming rider Callum Pritchard; probably still on the upgrade; good chance. |

9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Chase form includes a good effort off 4lb higher in the Southern National at Fontwell (3m3f, good) on seasonal debut; two poor efforts since but could revive in new headgear; four-time hurdles winner. |

13th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won twice over hurdles at this track (2m5f, soft/heavy) early last year; despite mistakes, he returned with a good second back over fences at Fontwell (3m3f, good), but then had another off-day back over hurdles a month ago; not entirely sure what to expect from him. |
