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 |

2nd 3 |
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. |

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. |
7/2 |

1st 12 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Defied this mark at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October 2024; only four runs since but he returned after another break with a front-running third at Huntingdon (2m5f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip. |
13/2 |

3rd 3 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Scored at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October 2024 off 2lb lower and should be sharper following his first run for 12 months when down the field here in December; hood is reinstated along with first-time tongue-tie; possibilities. |

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. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

Won over 2m4f in late 2024; a couple of thirds in the meantime but pulled up the last twice when slow ground was no excuse. |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
First-time cheekpieces did the trick when she won at Ffos Las in November 2024 and she matched that form when third of 14 here (also about 2m4f, good to soft) last February; inconsistent and generally struggling since and pulled up after a bad mistake when blinkered for chase debut last time; handy mark, however, and the return to hurdles and cheekpieces might help. |

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. |
