13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Good-ground winner off 6lb lower last season and mostly running well this campaign over hurdles and fences; latest run in a handicap chase needs forgiving but couldn't rule out. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Stuck to her task pretty well at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month and has now finished second on two of her last three starts but the forecast rain is probably not helpful here; tongue-tie left off today. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Didn't really fire at Stratford last month and now 0-4 over fences but that run came just one week after a pretty good second there (2m3f, good to firm) and she's had a longer break this time; a possible. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
His near-9l fifth in this race last year (behind Clean Getaway) came at the end of a fairly busy spring/summer campaign; defied longer absence than today's for April's Sedgefield success, but yet to convince this higher sort of mark hasn't compromised him for further win purposes. |

18th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |

Returned from break with win at Sedgefield (2m, good) last month, his fifth chase, and was placed off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) a few days later; obvious contender in current form. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed. |
12/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Went up 40lb for winning six handicap chases last season (also won twice over hurdles); below par in three runs this season; needs to bounce back after a 139-day break. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Scored off 3lb lower mark at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in April but well held subsequently at Fakenham (3m5f, good) and here over hurdles in May; looks too high in the weights. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
In cracking form this season, with three wins and a second, until however he went down by 25l at Bangor (good) on latest start; maybe the ground that day was not soft enough; major player if bouncing straight back. |
13/2 |
|
6th 10 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
A lot more exposed than many in here but he's been in cracking form since returning from an absence and his defeat at Leicester was no backward step (2m4f, good to soft); firmly in the mix. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has thrived since returning from a break in December, winning two of his three runs over hurdles before adding a third win of the season reverting to fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) last month, each time under Benjamin Macey; he's up 4lb for last time but is very much a leading contender in current form. |

7th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Good second over fences in July but failed to complete his next two chases and both subsequent Flat runs were also disappointing; reverts to hurdling with questions to answer. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |

Ex-Richard Hughes; four Flat wins (one on the AW) at up to 1m4f; yet to race at this sort of trip on the Flat and not shown a great deal for his new yard; hood now tried; not an obvious candidate. |
33/1 |

31st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Hasn't looked a natural over hurdles/fences and has enough to prove back on the Flat here having failed to complete the last twice; tongue-tie retained; blinkers added. |

16-race maiden who hasn't looked at home on testing ground in her last three races; has had her share of disappointments on goodish ground but her second here in March of last year on good to soft isn't forgotten. |

10st 13lb |
Won at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in February and was runner-up on his return visit over 2m5f two weeks later; looks interesting on that form but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Carlisle in March. |

Sound performances (won then good second) at Sedgefield last month, while leaving the impression this return to a right-handed track will prove ideal; may still have more to offer over fences; in the mix. |

Decisive winner over 2m3f here last time (good to soft); this longer trip will suit (has won over 3m1f) and should go well despite 6lb rise. |
