15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
10yo whose form has been mixed this season but he's edged back down the weights and his Newmarket yard is 3-6 here; capable of a big run. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Most consistent win or lose over either obstacle for this stable until finding a brush hurdle series final at Worcester all too much last time (2m4f, good); swimming in calmer waters again on this return to fences, albeit still above any class he's ever won in. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Consistent over fences and hurdles for new stable this season, winning once under each discipline; suited by this C&D but may find less exposed rivals better handicapped today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

All three chase wins have been on this course but over 2m4f; 1m7f would have been too sharp on last month's return from a break but he could be vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed back-to-back wins at Hereford over 3m1f on good this spring; found out in a higher grade twice since but back at his winning level and should run his race. |

3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Record of 3-13 over fences; 2-2 over C&D, namely good-ground wins this spring; below par at Fontwell in hat-trick attempt but has possibilities back here; admittedly yet to score above Class 5. |
13/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
8yo who has been resurgent with wins at Hereford (3m1f, good) in his last two starts; 3lb higher than last time but he stayed on strongly to beat a clear second and remains well handicapped on his best form; key player. |

Ex-Jedd O'Keefe; good second at Uttoxeter in June (3m, good); hasn't jumped well on either start for new yard; cheekpieces now tried; others stronger. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has been getting her act together over fences and the breakthrough came at Cartmel (2m1f) in July on her penultimate start; stayed on from the rear when third of eight over that C&D (also good) ten days ago; this sort of trip is probably worth exploring again. |

3rd 8 |
25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

The breakthrough had been coming and he was much too good for Pittsburg over C&D (good) a month ago; 7lb higher but something appears to have clicked. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
14-race maiden; in the frame in three consecutive good-ground chases since dropped back to about 2m this season but needs to find something extra to get a win on the board here and the forecast slower ground is a worry. |

10st 8lb |
Sole win came in first-time blinkers at Southwell (2m4f, Class 5 mares' handicap hurdle) in June 2022; a bit better since returning from further wind surgery, rallying into fourth from 8lb out of the handicap at Market Rasen (3m; cheekpieces) latest; isn't without a chance. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Stuck to task well when fourth here (2m5f, good; just behind Ribeye) last month but is effectively 7lb higher today and is yet to add to his 2022 hurdle win; often wears blinkers; cheekpieces tried today. |
