2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Looked out of sorts when pulled up on last two hurdling starts but won race this race under Sean Bowen a year ago (good ground) and is only 1lb higher today; contender if perked up by headgear switch. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Only 3l away at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but was pulled up over nearly 3m at Uttoxeter; didn't appear to stay but goes again at about 3m with a tongue-tie added; 4lb out of the weights. |

Winning chaser who is 0-11 over hurdles but was only 3l away at Newton Abbot three weeks ago (2m5f, good); stamina not proven over this far but has each-way claims. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 over fences but he seemed to respond well to cheekpieces when runner-up on final two starts last season (2m5f/2m4f) and may not have been suited by the drop back to 2m when below form here in May; a possible. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Sole win in 15 starts came over hurdles in France as a 3yo, but he has finished runner-up in four of his six outings since returning to fences last summer; all of those were over further, but he hasn't quite been getting home so the drop in trip looks an interesting move. |

10st 13lb |
Just two wins from 43 starts and was well held at Southwell (2m4f) two weeks ago, but he justified favouritism over C&D (good; 6-4) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Ended a long losing run with a breakthrough victory over fences in 2m7f handicap at Stratford last month; back up 5lb but still a likely player with Sean Bowen again in the saddle. |

Regularly makes the frame and was a respectable fourth over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) 17 days ago, but his strike-rate is now 1-41 and others appeal more for win purposes. |

Two wins at around 2m4f on good ground include one here a year ago; he did score over 3m in a point in 2022, but two weakening efforts in the spring took his rules record beyond 2m5f to 6664; blinkers go on. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |

C&D winner who has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark, but modest in two starts since returning in March as when around 40l behind Cloudy Wednesday at Fakenham (3m, good) last month; has undergone wind surgery since then and interesting to see how he fares with a first-time tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces. |

Ex-Charlie Longsdon; has won four times over fences, including off 11lb higher over C&D in January 2022; good stable debut when third of six in a 2m handicap hurdle here (good to soft) but not so good back over fences at Lingfield next time; bit to prove. |

Not beaten far when last of four in Warwick hunter chase (3m, good) last month but managed only fifth of seven in a subsequent point; back in a handicap chase for stable debut; quite tricky to weigh up at the moment; seems best suited by good ground. |

0-16 under rules (including eight chase runs) but came second over hurdles here (2m5f, good) in April and also ran very well in eventful C&D chase won by Ryder's Rock in May; 5lb wrong today but not out of this if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

Sole success in 31 attempts under rules came over C&D in July last year but he's lacked consistency since and, following a promising fourth here in June, finished 19l behind My Girl Katie over C&D the following month; has claims on his best form but comes with risks. |
