20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won 2m maiden hurdle in March 2024 but an unknown quantity now, having been pulled up in two hurdle runs either side of three non-completions in points; now has a go in headgear. |

Returns to rules action on the back of three non-completions in points but he has been competitive off this mark in the past and still only a 7yo; could be a surprise package after changing yards. |

12st 5lb |
9yo who is lightly raced for his age and made it four wins from his last five starts, and 2-3 over fences, when scoring at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in November; has a progressive profile and could play another leading role. |

10st 2lb |
Very lightly raced 6yo who is related to winners and makes his handicap/stable debut off a basement mark; however, he showed very little over hurdles last spring and was pulled in a point-to-point in November. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Finished strongly to beat Jet Of Dreams on last summer's chasing debut but his three subsequent runs for Dan Skelton were somewhat underwhelming and he was sold for £10,000 in the autumn; makes stable debut after seven-month break; market may guide. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark at Chepstow (2m3f, good) in April and consistent at up to 2m7f since; unraced beyond that trip but there are some strong stayers on the dam's side of his pedigree so there's a chance he'll improve for the new distance. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Low-mileage 6yo; below form when when favourite for 1m7f handicap chase in December but evidently well suited by combination of hike up in trip and return to hurdling when close second at Doncaster (3m, good) last month; must be considered. |
7/4 |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
6yo who kept on well for close fourth on his handicap and chase debut at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) in November; failed to back that up at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but this 3m point runner-up could be suited by the step up in trip now back hurdling; intriguing contender. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Longstanding maiden who didn't run badly on first two starts back from a mammoth absence; out of the weights but not hard to see him hitting the frame in a weak contest, if bouncing back from a poor effort last time. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |

Unplaced all five hurdle starts but returned from 596-day absence with an encouraging fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago and has possibilities if that run brought him on. |

21st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

No improvement for the return to assertive tactics on her final two outings last summer, beaten 25l in each; 5lb out of the weights on this return to action and not easily recommended. |
50/1 |
Verdict
If Got Grey isn’t flattered by his Taunton form then he might well have a say in receipt of weight off the two previous winners, who are still expected to dominate. PIRATES’ TALE and Roccovango bring similar form credentials but the younger horses edges preference.[Alistair Jones]
