15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he got hampered when unseating over C&D last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning this race (good to soft) last year; that was a brave success and he's a player if he can recapture that form. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent gelding who ran up to his best when third in a Class 2 handicap over this trip at Newton Abbot in August (2m5f); unlikely to be far away. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Collected a good prize at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in April and has made the frame on all fourth subsequent appearances; can cope if the ground softens here and will probably be on the premises again. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Winning hurdler but yet to score after four runs over fences; good second at Hexham two runs back (3m, good to soft; first run after wind op and in cheekpieces) but poor last time; could bounce back with visor now tried. |
7/2 |

10th 5 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner who went close to breaking his duck over fences off this mark at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last month, with a tongue-tie added to refitted cheekpieces following a second wind operation; merits serious consideration back over hurdles with the stable in good form. |
3/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

Yet to win over fences, but creditable second at Wetherby in March (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces tried); has had wind surgery since fair fourth at Carlisle last month (3m, good; blinkers on); tongue-tie plus cheekpieces this time; chance. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
2-11 over hurdles, the latter win gained from the front at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in April; not quite in same form when dropped back to 2m1f there in May and makes chase debut after three-month break but could have a say. |
9/1 |

3rd 6 |
24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Back in prime form when winning from the front here (2m3f, good) last month and now 2-10 over hurdles; recent 3lb rise certainly doesn't look excessive, and he ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Weakened when well-beaten third at Doncaster (3m2f, soft) last month and needs to bounce back; however, he was running very well in defeat otherwise this winter (3m/3m1f, good-soft) and this C&D winner will be in the mix if back on song this afternoon. |

3rd 7 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Seems to be adding some consistency to his game and has been bang there in his last three handicap chases (3m-3m1f), latterly chasing home Dartmoor Pirate here; he does look in the grip of the handicapper but he'll probably run well once more. |
7/1 |

2nd 9 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Three wins during last season's first campaign over fences (2m3f-3m, including on soft) and this front-runner has run well to be placed on his last two starts, most recently when just outstayed over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 3m1f; today's 3m around a flat track could prove ideal. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
From a successful family for this stable but she's yet to really shine in five starts over hurdles, although her latest run in November (2m, good) when returning from a break was more encouraging (second run in handicaps); another absence to overcome but she has each-way claims if building on that. |

From a successful family for this stable and put up her best effort over hurdles when fourth of seven over C&D (soft) in May; didn't build on it on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) the following month and has something to prove after 158 days off. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Kept on well to beat Clover Pass and open account at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month, her eighth start over hurdles; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but further progress is possible over the longer trip here. |

1st 5 |
11th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Encouraging run when 5l fifth of 13 over C&D (good to soft) last month; however, she needs to build on that performance if she's to get off the mark today and her profile isn't overly convincing. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Suited by this track and has the assistance of Sean Bowen but has not been at her best since returning from a break in the autumn and would appeal more on good to soft or slower ground; 2lb out of the weights. |

Achieved very little when remote second at Southwell (2m, soft) in May and was pulled up off a lowly mark when upped to 2m7f for handicap debut the following month. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Signs of ability in bumpers, most notably when runner-up at Southwell (2m) in May 2023; however, has shown very little since switched to hurdles; beaten 40l when a remote second (150-1) last time; handicap debut. |

22nd May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Signs of ability in a bumper here last May but she can't be fancied on her three hurdle starts and handicaps will offer better options. |

Went close in an Irish point in May 2022 but, following a long absence, struggled to get competitive on first two hurdle starts (December/May) and failed to show any immediate benefit for wind surgery on most recent defeat; handicap debut. |
