1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Placed all three starts since winning over C&D (good to soft) in May 2024, most recently when creditable third of 13 at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; hampered on run-in) in January, after a long absence; not yet proven on heavy ground but still features prominently in calculations. |

Ran some solid races when switched to handicaps in 2024; missed all of 2025 but is on a competitive mark if retaining his ability; watch the market. |

Won over C&D (good to soft; acts on soft) in May in his second handicap and placed in the other two; that amounts to the most solid claims in this field, far more solid than those of the vast majority. |

Won off a similar mark on turf (2m) in August, but she's run some ordinary races on the AW since finishing close up at Kempton in January 2024 and recent hurdle efforts raise questions about her current form. |

Lightly raced 7yo who returned from long absence with good second on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in March; fell mid-race there last month but still has potential and remains very much of interest. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Has proved consistent in points this winter and looks likely to give his running in this hunter chase debut; however, faces a difficult task on rules form, as ratings reflect. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Won five handicap chases in the space of six starts during the winter; that came a cost mark-wise and he was twice well held before suffering same fate back over hurdles last time (2m7f novice; tried blinkers); bit to prove now. |

Soundly beaten in three slow-ground novice/maiden hurdles towards end of last year but has a lowly mark for this handicap debut, and his French Flat win on good to firm in 2022 offers hope the less testing conditions will enable improvement. |

13-race maiden; last six races were in cheekpieces/blinkers over fences, taking two minor honours on good ground, but he is 8lb out of the handicap today; needs big improvement from the first-time visor. |

Subject of a gamble when runner-up at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in January, but hasn't matched that effort since including on his first start back with his former trainer (following a second wind operation) at Fakenham (2m, good) last month; others preferred. |

Won a 1m claimer on soft at Gowran in May 2023; best run over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice for this yard in January (2m, good to soft); not done as well for two different trainers over hurdles and on the Flat since; on a good mark and interesting back with Tony Charlton having had wind surgery. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |
