8th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |

Overcame some late interference to win in second-time cheekpieces over 3m here and a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging; does need good ground so watch the weather. |

Won his maiden hurdle on good ground and had the same conditions when making a successful chase debut at Taunton (2m7f) and when second of three at Wetherby in March; his pull-ups on either side of that were in the mud; back on this surface he should have a part to play. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
He's not the only possible front-runner in this field but he's an improving 7yo who came 15l clear in a small field at Haydock four weeks ago (2m3f, good); a 6lb rise could have been worse and, although this is a lot more challenging, he's in the mix. |

Won maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) in November and he's since been a respectable third in his first two handicaps (1m7f/2m, good to soft/soft); those were warm races and this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

11st 12lb |
Disappointing over fences this season (four attempts) and never really recovered from bad, first-flight error when back over hurdles last month; on dangerous mark for this first venture beyond about 2m6f, though, and has first-time cheekpieces and Harry Cobden enlisted; interesting. |

Bumper winner who looked a promising hurdler last season when runner-up three times; hasn't taken to chasing this term and now switches back to hurdles; Harry Cobden looks to be a notable booking. |

Three good runs in maiden hurdles at up to 2m4f last spring but he's fallen, been pulled up and finished remote in three chase runs this winter; big turnaround needed for the step up in trip. |

11st 11lb |
He has had his ups and downs in the past but he won in fine style at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December and went close at Market Rasen (3m, soft) subsequently, when well clear of the third; key player. |

2-9 over fences; not one to rely upon heavily but looked in very good nick when winning readily at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December and today's 7lb higher mark may not be beyond him. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has run well on good/good to soft but reportedly benefited from switch to heavy ground when bouncing back to form to win by 7l at Ffos Las last month; subsequent 5lb rise is not excessive but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again. |

Brother to smart 2m7f-3m1f jumps winner Embassy Gardens; disappointing as favourite in sole point but was a promising third in Punchestown bumper for Emmet Mullins last April; hasn't gone on from that in three runs since but he shaped better than the bare facts in 2m4f maiden here (good) on recent stable debut; now drops back in trip but he's one to keep an eye on. |

Won comfortably under Ned Fox at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and also ran well when fourth there (2m4f, soft) later that month; below that level on latest outing (2m5f), though, and current mark demands a career-best effort. |

In excellent form for new stable in the spring, winning three in a row under Fern O'Brien (2m4f-3m) on good ground; has fitness to prove after 116-day break and latest 10lb rise asks quite a lot of him but further progress is possible. |

Mid-race unseat over fences on stable debut in March and got up late to win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) three weeks ago when back hurdling; there's every chance the step back up in trip will suit and he could have more to offer for this yard. |

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. |
