17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Came from poor position to win by 7l on chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June 2024 and returned from long absence with good second over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August, where he travelled much more sweetly; it's hard to tell what mood he'll be in here but he could still have significant potential over fences. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a handicap over hurdles and won going away on chase debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) 14 months ago; on a competitive mark but likely best watched on this return to hurdling after his absence. |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Easy Huntingdon winner (2m3f, Class 5 handicap hurdle) last October and placed off a higher mark here next time; however, his last two efforts have been below-par, pulling-up at Taunton two months ago; switches to fences with enough to prove at present. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner in May on his second start for James Owen and was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races; now on a recovery mission. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations. |
4/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Looked a hard ride when second at Bangor (3m, good) but travelled sweeter with the blinkers back on at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) and just missed out; nudged up another 3lb but has to be respected. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A fair 19f hurdles/chase winner last autumn who comes here on the back of a solid third of seven in 21f handicap chase at Market Rasen two weeks ago; shortlisted with tongue-tie refitted. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Sits 4lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) last November, a form line given a boost by Neigh Botha at Southwell on Tuesday; turned in a solid effort on return to jumps action at Stratford (third) a fortnight ago and could have more to offer; probable contender. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won over hurdles and fences last season and probably still on a fair mark; however, two tailed-off runs on the Flat since April cast some doubts over his wellbeing. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Only 1-13 over fences but is threatening to double his tally, having stayed on for second in the last two of three starts for new yard, latest at Taunton (2m7f, good); possibilities off same mark. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both wins when trained by Alan King; showed little on return from 404-day layoff at Leicester in January for new yard but much better when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last month; runs off the same mark and holds place claims at least. |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Five wins when trained in UK but pulled-up in a point and two chases last thrice and not easy to fancy after a break. |

27th Mar 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of two bumpers (in 2020) and three races over jumps for Brian Ellison, the most recent in a 2m5f handicap chase at Cartmel last summer, pulled up in a point-to-point at Kildorrery on first start for Ian O'Connor; best watched. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Kelso and Cartmel 2m5f-2m6f chase wins have been gained from two of his three lowest ever marks; work to do back up 5lb and there's pace rivalry if a repeat of last time's all-the-way tactics is planned. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won back-to-back 3m points at Overton and Pusk, prior to finishing a creditable third in a hunter chase at Perth (3m; beaten 4l, 12-1) 24 days ago; with the suspension of hunter chases, he now switches back to a handicap for Susan Corbett. |

3rd 3 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Huntingdon maiden hurdle for Olly Murphy back in May 2022, but hasn't raced under rules since the summer of 2024; made all, turning over the odds-on favourite, in a three-runner Ladies Open at Pusk (3m, good) 18 days ago; is 2-3 under Amy Milburn. |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Hit a rich vein of form during the summer of 2022, winning three times, including twice here (over 2m3f), rising a combined total of 16lb in the handicap; absent since landing a weak three-runner affair at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to firm) that September; fitness is the unknown factor after a long absence. |
