4th Sep 2025 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Another 3m2f winner who was in decent nick in spring/early summer but he finished tailed off behind Earth King at Uttoxeter in July and was pulled up in a first-time visor at Stratford last time; needs to get back on track. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Returned from a break in fine form and now goes in a visor after his disappointing show at Uttoxeter; capable of having a say off this mark and good to soft would be acceptable. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

Came from off the pace to win at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) off 4lb lower; twice beaten off this mark in small fields since then but ran well; solid chance. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has plenty of form around here over hurdles and fences, and very nearly won this race 12 months ago off 1lb higher (under Charlotte Jones); ran surprisingly well when 125-1 for a Class 2 at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
10/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Hurdles form (handicap winner over 2m4f-3m1f) does not look quite good enough in this higher grade and the form of his winning chase debut at Cartmel last July has been followed by heavy defeats in both starts since (ridden by this 10lb claimer on latest); others preferred. |
33/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
For one who stays 3m2f he did well to make a winning chase debut over 2m1f here (soft; effective on soft) a month ago; Brian Hughes rides again off a 6lb higher mark and should go well if his jumping holds up. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3-14 over hurdles, having battled well to beat two next-time-out winners at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) last month; effectively 7lb higher here if Freddie Keighley's reduced claim is considered; still enters calculations. |
7/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Hereford in May 2024 and remained in respectable form for the rest of that year; wasn't one of his better efforts when fifth on comeback at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in May, however, and pulled up in a three-runner chase at Worcester (mistakes) last time; last run can probably be forgiven and this return to hurdles is a positive. |
9/2 |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Completed a good-ground hat-trick over hurdles during the first half of last year and only 4lb higher than for the last of those wins; perhaps needed his comeback race and, given his yard, he may well do better over fences. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since winning at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, having come back down in the weights, he stayed on well to regain the winning thread at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month; going back up 4lb is a slight concern, but this looks an inviting opportunity if he repeats that effort. |
9/4 |

1st 3 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since wining at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, he's now back on that winning mark and his latest fourth of four at Taunton (3m, good) in a Class 3 was encouraging; respected. |
6/1 |

4th 2 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Has four wins over hurdles but is 2lb above his last winning mark; returns from a break and probably needs to come down a few pounds. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kept on for respectable third at Worcester (2m7f, good; no threat to easy winner) 12 days ago and will be suited by today's longer trip but often looks unenthusiastic, and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task today; cheekpieces refitted. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
This time last year he posted back-to-back seconds over 3m2f on good ground at Fontwell and Warwick; well handicapped on that form but he hasn't been running well of late. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Quirky customer who is often reluctant to jump off; won at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April, after a break, and is now back on the same mark, but recent efforts were below that level and he's never easy to predict. |
16/1 |

7th 8 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Has struggled to recapture the form that saw him successful at Stratford (3m2f, good) off 2lb lower in April; not one to dismiss lightly but recent efforts temper enthusiasm. |
