24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Got off the mark when dead-heating at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) in May; not disgraced over 2m7f at Worcester on his last two starts and he shouldn't be far away. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Awarded the race when forcing a dead-heat at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in May and ran well when just over 8l fourth under Ben Sutton to Indian Sunbird over C&D 17 days ago; closely matched with that rival on the revised terms and shouldn't be far away. |

11st 6lb |
Sole success under NH rules was when landing a maiden hurdle at this track in June 2022; has been running at a low level on the Flat this year without success and makes chasing debut; difficult to fancy. |

Absent since safely held on Tapeta in April but his penultimate AW run was a good effort and his 2-2 record on heavy ground brings him into each-way calculations. |

Five-time hurdle winner (2m3f-2m5f) but his last success was 16 months ago and this veteran has been out of sorts in his last four runs; opposable. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Winless since scoring over 2m2f here in April 2023; failed to build on earlier promise when sixth of seven in 3m3f Sedgefield handicap last month but could bounce back in different headgear now. |
6/1 |

19th Mar 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Just 1-17 over hurdles but runner-up over C&D (good to soft) last month after a break and his lesser effort at Warwick 16 days later can be excused by the soft ground; conditions set to suit today; firmly in calculations. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Just 1-16 over hurdles and the forecast soft ground poses a question, but he returned to form when second at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and can be in the mix if backing up that performance. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Made all off today's mark over C&D (good) in spring 2024 and ran well in defeat over C&D this April; sure to be suited by the return to this track but has quite a bit to prove after three disappointing efforts. |
8/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained sole success over 3m so may not be crying out for this drop back in distance and he has a question mark over current form anyway; cheekpieces added. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Ran poorly on chasing debut at Southwell and needs to bounce back from that but was clear second over hurdles there (3m, good) two starts ago and is a big player if judged on that performance. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Pulled up over fences latest; good start to her Flat career when second in an admittedly weak novice (9.5f) in January and it was her best run when third on handicap debut (also Wolverhampton, 1m4f) having been ridden prominently; new trip could eke out a bit more. |

18th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Placed on the Flat since winning over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December and ran quite well when back over hurdles last month; has headgear refitted for this chasing debut but others have more pressing claims. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
11yo who belatedly opened his account here (2m2f, good) in September, his 21st start over hurdles, and has remained in good form since; probably won't be far away but younger rivals have more potential. |
7/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Course regular who is 1-27 under rules, though the win came over C&D (good) in September; still 8lb higher and more exposed than most, but should still run his race back from a short break. |
4/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Ran well when third (albeit well held in the end) at Stratford (2m2f, good) in July and had excuse for subsequent poor performance (irregular heartbeat) but he's 0-20 over hurdles now; others preferred. |

1-19 over hurdles, the win gained at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) just under a year ago; back down to a workable mark now but absent since two disappointing runs towards the end of last summer. |

13th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good with clearcut win at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) in June and was very close second in quite valuable contest at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; good claims if judged on that evidence but needs to bounce back from a poor run a fortnight ago. |
