2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Both hurdles wins came at Bangor last summer; has made the frame on all three starts since and looks to have been crying out for this step up in trip; first-time cheekpieces worn last time are discarded; contender. |

11st 11lb |
Often lacks fluency over his hurdles but started off for current stable with two good efforts last spring (2m4f/2m3f); will be fine over today's longer trip and Harry Cobden is a good booking for this reappearance run. |

2nd 1 |
18th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-12 over hurdles and much more exposed than some of these but kept on for very respectable third on last month's stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good; clear winner has won twice again since) and will probably be competitive again here. |

18th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Never looked dangerous when well-held fifth here (2m, soft) last month, after a break, and now 0-10 over hurdles; getting back on good ground ought to be in his favour but others have more pressing claims. |

Placed off 2lb higher over C&D (good) on last summer's handicap debut but absent since a poor run in November and the ground may not dry out quickly enough for him today; had wind op in December; tongue-tie added. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Prominent racer who made it 4-4 for 2026 (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft/good) at Carlisle last month; won by 3l last time and a 7lb rise may not stop this thriving 8yo, provided the forecast soft ground isn't an issue. |

1st 4 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Improving chaser who has won his last three, the first two at 2m4f/2m3f but last time coping fine with the sharper test of 1m7f around Catterick (good); up in grade here with a 7lb rise to deal with but he's got major momentum behind him. |
9/2 |

1st 1 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won novice handicaps at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) and here (2m3f, good to soft) in January; down in trip (won over 2m over hurdles) and on a career-high mark (went up 6lb for last win) but a contender. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Now 0-20 over hurdles but was bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and when beaten nearly 20l the last time he got pressured up front; unlikely to be far away. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-19 over hurdles, which could be the bottom line, but he's been placed on four of his six starts this season, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on good ground over C&D and Stratford's 2m6f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; looks set to be seriously involved again. |

Displayed good jolt of improvement when second in novice hurdle here (2m7f, good) last month but was well beaten on subsequent handicap hurdle debut and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this chasing debut. |

Five-time Flat winner; 0-4 over hurdles and was safely held in two handicaps towards end of last season (2m/2m4f) but may yet come good for Olly Murphy; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

Anonymous effort at Taunton latest took his record over 2m3f and beyond to 9P8, inclusive of one outing over tonight's C&D; mixed returns in a hood before now, so no guarantee which way he'll go for the visor. |

Flat winner (1m2f, good to firm) who is 0-9 over hurdles but he was a rallying third on his reappearance here (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he looks worth another try at this trip; not ruled out with hood removed. |

Showed her first piece of worthwhile form for a while when fourth at Huntingdon (near 2m4f, good) last month, albeit beaten 20l; failed to build on that when soundly beaten behind Karakoram 19 days ago; 6lb out of the handicap and difficult to recommend. |

This month's Huntingdon fourth (2m4f, good) broke a sequence of non-completions; shaped there as if ready for this longer trip now, though that's not wholly backed up by the pedigree (two point winners aside). |
