24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time course winner, all on good ground (2m1f-2m2f); left behind a couple of poor efforts earlier in the year when a respectable fourth over 2m5f here in May but refused to line up when withdrawn here three weeks ago; well handicapped on old form and hard to dismiss if in the mood. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Six-time course winner on good ground (2m1f-2m2f); woeful in two starts away from this track in the spring but he'd dropped to a dangerous mark when a respectable fourth here (about 2m5f, good; winner's won since) last month; will appreciate a strong gallop on this drop back in trip and can rarely be ruled out here. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Fair Flat maiden who got off the mark on stable/hurdle debut at Taunton (2m, good to soft) in December and made a solid start to handicaps this year, going close at Taunton then comfortably accounting for a warm favourite at Hereford (2m, good) last month; in a deeper race here but he's an improving 4yo and the 5lb rise might not be enough to anchor him. |

13th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair Flat-racer who won comfortably on stable/hurdle debut at Taunton (2m, good to soft) in December and went close when upped to 2m3f there (good) for recent handicap hurdle debut; went up 4lb for that and probably won't be favoured by rain here but still features prominently in calculations. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but last month's hurdling win at Fontwell (2m5f, good) came off a hugely reduced handicap mark and it's not easy to predict whether his revival will gather momentum. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Has been through a quiet spell but he ran respectably when fourth at Worcester (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last time; likely to need more. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Close up at Newton Abbot on return from a long absence and didn't run at all badly in a Class 2 at Market Rasen; at this easier level he makes more appeal. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-11 over hurdles when scoring at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May but he's been vulnerable as favourite in last two starts; drops back in grade after a respectable fifth at Worcester (beaten around 6l) two weeks ago but he needs to find more progress back in trip. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
3-10 over hurdles (2m-2m5f, good); improving 6yo who made a good start for this stable when a close fifth at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and duly built on that when justifying favouritism at Warwick (2m5f) the following month, both times ridden by Megan Bevan; drop back to 2m shouldn't be too much of an issue and he's a big player off 4lb higher. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only three runs over fences but already a better chaser than hurdler; well on top to win at Wincanton in November (1m7f, good; 5lb lower) and the softer surface at Ludlow (good to soft) was a feasible excuse next time; absent since December but likely to go well. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from one-year absence with low-key run in 2m4f maiden hurdle last month (raced too freely) and is now 0-7 in that sphere; entitled to have benefited from that outing but needs this switch to chasing to enable improvement. |

Yet to score for his current yard and he comes here on the back of a below-par fifth of eight in 2m handicap at Newton Abbot 20 days ago; cheekpieces go back on with more required. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

Looked a nice prospect when winning at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in February last year; outclassed in Grade 2 at Kempton 11 days later and likely needed March's return from nearly a year away when down the field on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, soft); better can be expected with that run behind him but he has a bit to prove at present. |

Back in good form this spring, most notably when keeping on well for narrow win at Warwick (2m3f, good) two starts ago; not yet fully exposed over this sort of trip and probably still on a workable mark; likely contender. |

His second run back from a lengthy break when emerging from off the pace to win narrowly over 2m3f here (good; 5lb lower) and there could be more to come over this far, as he's very lightly raced for a 9yo. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Triple hurdle winner at around 2m but last success was 17 months ago and he was a remote second on chase debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good; 25-1) last month; looks worth another try at this trip but he needs to leave that latest form behind. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Not disgraced in 2m hurdle on stable debut in June but two underwhelming Flat runs have followed and he looks risky over this new trip on his chasing debut. |

6th 5 (6) |
30th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't run badly over hurdles here on this month's stable debut but was well beaten on the Flat here (1m6f, good to soft) eight days ago and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance. |
