8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form with creditable second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but looks unlikely to go one better; the 10yo faces a difficult task against several younger rivals who are open to further improvement. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
All wins have been on good ground, latest at Worcester in May (2m7f); below-par two runs since and bit to prove at present. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Burst back to life with 15l win at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May; absent since and up 11lb, which puts him on clear career-high mark at the age of nine; also has a slight query on this forecast soft ground but Harry Skelton retains the ride; should be in the mix if ready to go. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Three good-ground wins at up to 3m2f during a profitable 2025, all off at least 9lb lower; yet to defy a break in excess of 45 days, so absence since January cannot rate a plus. |
25/1 |

7th 13 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran creditably at Hereford (3m1f) last time, bouncing back from two poor efforts, but this looks a tougher assignment; still seeking first handicap success above Class 5. |
20/1 |

9th 11 |
11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual hurdle winner on good ground this summer (2m7f/3m2f); last month's chasing defeat is probably best overlooked (didn't jump well enough) but he has high mileage for his age and might be vulnerable in this grade. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won comfortably at Fakenham (2m4f, good) and wilted only on the run-in off this 7lb higher mark at Worcester; only a 5yo and entitled to progress further now sent chasing. |
5/2 |

3rd 4 |
1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Took a while to get the hang of hurdling but he's thriving now and he won comfortably at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month; up 7lb but he still has untapped potential and could follow up. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won the 2m6f handicap on this card 12 months ago and returned to form with a 2l success over that same trip on Monday (following a wind operation); did that comfortably and must have every chance under a penalty. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won this race in 2025 (good ground) and followed up over C&D (good to soft) two days later; suffered dip in form afterwards but shaped quite well before weakening into sixth in competitive series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in March and returns to this track on an attractive mark; had another wind op last month (his fourth); good chance. |
7/2 |
|
6th 12 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) last February and add two wins at Cartmel in May; he's 6lb below his last winning mark but has failed to shine on his three outings since November, over C&D most recently. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

Won in July off 7lb higher (3m, good; first-time tongue-tie) but hasn't approached level in his subsequent races; not easily trusted. |
8/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
4lb below his winning mark and the fourth over C&D in July was more encouraging; brought down mid-race at Uttoxeter latest. |
16/1 |
|
14 |
25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Returned from layoff with two poor performances last month but his fourth behind Red Panda at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago was much more encouraging and he's now 4lb lower than for last year's 3m Perth win; big player if first-time cheekpieces help him to build on that recent effort. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
0-11 over hurdles but returned from layoff/wind surgery with promising third of seven here (2m5f, good) last month and could have untapped potential over this longer trip; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|

28th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
No wins in 13; has each-way claims on his best form and has undergone wind surgery since last seen; could have a part to play if resuming in good order; 1lb out of the weights. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
All the fences up the home straight were omitted when he narrowly made all in a first-time tongue-tie over 3m here in May (good); found wanting back here a month ago but could still go well if back on song. |
8/1 |
|
5 |
14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Gamely made all to open account over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) six weeks ago, his third start over fences; might improve again but several fences were omitted in that rather unsatisfactory race, and he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good today. |
4/1 |

1st 10 |
3rd May 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-10 under rules; tailed off on chase debut but that was over 2m3f and upped to 3m1f at Hereford he ran well from the front; good chance off an untouched mark; now tongue tied. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat maiden who has won twice over hurdles, back-to-back good-ground 2m handicaps in 2022; needed to run better back over jumps at Worcester (2m4f, good) to be backed with any confidence here. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 |
1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Struck twice over hurdles (2m, good) in the second half of 2022 and he showed he stays this far when second of 13 at Kempton last spring; might have needed a run on the Flat two months ago after nearly a year off; not ruled out but others have more obvious claims. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
4th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Lowly rated maiden on the Flat in 2022 but struck twice over hurdles later that year and in reasonable form when last seen in that sphere just under a year ago; betting perhaps the best guide after his lay-off. |

1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Sole win was over hurdles in 2021; hurtling down the weights this summer for new yard and some ability remains, including when back to chasing in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, so he's not entirely dismissed. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 |
17th Aug 2024 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Hurdling recently; thrown in on his late-2021 win and place form on softer ground than may await here; mark tumbling despite offering slightly more latest, but he didn't look entirely happy in two chasing starts at the end of 2022. |
33/1 |
|
9th 11 |
18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when scoring narrowly at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January, left in lead at last; runs off the same mark here but has to put a poor run on chasing debut (jumped poorly) well behind him. |
6/1 |

5th 6 |
23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt (just second handicap run) when scrambling home in a 2m3f novice handicap hurdle at Chepstow (heavy) in January, left in the lead at the last; goes chasing off the same mark and still capable of further progress. |

21-race maiden; big prices and well beaten in four starts since November including in a hurdle handicap at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last month; out of the weights again and can only be watched. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

18-race maiden; massive prices and well beaten in three starts since November (chase and two maiden hurdles); no reason to expect better from 5lb wrong; better to focus elsewhere. |
100/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

One of her better runs when 16l fourth of 13 to King Of The Story over C&D last month but this maiden is even further out of the handicap this afternoon and is hard to fancy. |
