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. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has won twice over hurdles, the second a C&D novice handicap at this meeting in 2024; some fair runs over fences last term, but has yet to find his form this season. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did not fire at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-5 over fences but his clear second at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago was a good effort and he'll be suited by the forecast good ground here. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Sent chasing over 3m+ for last four starts, beaten a nose on first occasion and good second with first-time headgear at Catterick on latest; that requires respect but worse than good to soft ground would be a worry. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest. |

3rd 6 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |
7/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently in valuable series final (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2025; generally disappointing this season but kept on well for huge-odds fourth in mares' Listed race here (3m, good to soft) last month and returns to a handicap on a workable mark. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner; a bumpy road in Britain but he went close over C&D in June and came well clear at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last weekend; probably not straightforward and he has hung away from the whip but likely has an easier task under a penalty than when reassessed. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |

Very hit and miss and ran moderately last time at Newton Abbot (3m2f), but did finish runner-up there the time before so there's a big run in him. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Low-mileage 7yo; made inauspicious start to chasing career last summer but returned from layoff with creditable second over C&D (good) last month and has scope to build on that performance; must be considered. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Three-time point winner; unplaced in four hurdle races since switched to racing under rules in February, most recently when never-dangerous sixth on handicap debut at Southwell (3m, good) this month, but might be seen in a better light on today's chasing debut. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |

Three-time chase winner (including C&D), but he's been well held over fences and hurdles in last three runs; made a mistake at a crucial stage at Southwell last time but he needs to get right back near his best on this return to fences. |

Three chase wins last season, the latest gained at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in November; has 6lb lower hurdle mark but remains without a win in this discipline after 17 attempts and tends to need his first run back from a break (absent since December); others make more appeal. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |

Returned to form with 20-1 C&D (good) win in May and also ran very well at Newton Abbot a few weeks later; never going well when pulled up on latest outing (reportedly lost action) and not an easy one to predict here but has possibilities if all goes to plan. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Returned from a break with a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and, although the race didn't go ideally, ran creditably in his follow-up bid off this mark at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) last time; still well handicapped on older form and worth considering with Harry Cobden booked. |

Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised. |
