30th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Undefeated in four small-field 3m open points (good/good to firm), the successes around the sharp left-handers at Higham and Fakenham particularly relevant in today's context; can lead but needn't, and won't want for experience of regulation fences (24 chase starts); player. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Better over fences than hurdles so encouraging to see him win over the smaller obstacles last month before chasing home a hot Bowen-trained favourite over C&D two weeks ago; should go well despite the 3lb rise. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Back in good form this spring (placed three times) and didn't run badly when fifth on latest outing three weeks ago, but there are still more obvious options than this high-mileage 7yo. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won four times over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien, the latest a selling handicap off 1lb lower; solid efforts in three Southwell handicaps (2m-2m4f) for this yard and unlikely to be far away. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
All of his seven wins have been at either Hexham or here, so merits attention after finishing a close third at Uttoxeter a month ago; 2lb below last winning mark. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
All of his seven wins have been at either Hexham or Market Rasen; never really threatened when a distant third on his first run for six months over C&D (good) nine days ago; best to wait until he runs over his favoured tracks. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five out of seven hurdles wins have been recorded in the month of June; mark and trip fine, but although once a winner after 151 days out his record following an absence is a bit mixed overall. |

11st 1lb |
10yo who is very lightly raced for his age; won at Southwell (2m4f, good) last May and has also scored on heavy ground; however, he failed to threaten over hurdles then fences last June and this is his first outing since. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Beaten 9l and 5l when twice runner-up in May but didn't appear to give his true running when a beaten favourite at Southwell (behind Indian Sunbird); could be given another chance. |
7/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to take second twice last month (2m4f/2m3f, good; tongue-tie added), after a long layoff, and is likely to be suited by this move back up in trip; must be considered. |
4/1 |

2nd 10 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Best known for his heroics at Bangor but showed career-best form when winning narrowly at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; 3lb rise demands even more from him here; usual cheekpieces left off; tongue-tie added. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |

Goes particularly well at Bangor but was runner-up at Aintree on final run in October (3m, good); however, a 3lb rise sees him on a career-high mark and he's been off a good while. |
