15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Went up 40lb for winning six handicap chases last season (also won twice over hurdles); below par in three runs this season; needs to bounce back after a 139-day break. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Scored off 3lb lower mark at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in April but well held subsequently at Fakenham (3m5f, good) and here over hurdles in May; looks too high in the weights. |

2m4f Worcester chase winner off 11lb higher in August 2024, but over a year since showing much over either type of obstacle. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 218y Class 5 |

On a handy mark judged on 2024 chase win and he can also be effective over hurdles (albeit 0-11 in this sphere); however, he struggled over hurdles/fences on his last two starts in June and needs to get back on track. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
One win and four seconds from her six runs over fences; it was an uncompetitive race in which she was runner-up last time (2m2f, good to soft) but highly likely to be in the thick of it once more. |

2nd 5 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Scored over C&D (good) in October 2023 and returned from 226-day absence with creditable third at Worcester (2m4f, good) last summer; major player if in similar form after an even longer layoff here; handles good to soft ground; unproven on anything slower. |
5/1 |

3rd 10 |
8th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won by a head on chase/handicap debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October and was second three consecutive times the following month (2m4f-2m6f); has fitness to prove after 226-day absence but still features prominently in calculations; had wind op in May. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Possible to forgive last month's stable/seasonal debut, in which she did too much out in front over a trip longer than optimum; more in her favour here, and 2lb below her one winning mark; some appeal. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Just 1-13 over fences but she rallied well to finish runner-up off a similar mark at Hereford (2m5f, good) in October; returns for new yard but she has run well when fresh in the past and looks worth another try at this trip; in the mix with Sean Bowen booked. |

Hinted at possible return to form when third in 3m chase here in May but was pulled up (lame) in another of those here ten days ago and is now 0-6 for current stable; looks opposable in this 2m hurdle. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on first three starts for Andrew Hamilton but his C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie) third in May was a big step back in the right direction; suffered a mishap at Hexham last time but has possibilities if able to build on that previous effort. |
16/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Started off for Andrew Hamilton with three heavy defeats but last month's third at Perth (3m, good) was a big step back in the right direction; may benefit from today's drop back in trip and can cope if there's rain about; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |

10yo who has been pulled up the last twice but he ran well for a fair way over hurdles last time following a break, over a 3m trip that probably stretches him; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Cartmel last June and he's not written off. |

1st 4 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Made the breakthrough in a first-time visor when scoring at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in December and he followed up at Taunton (about 3m2f, good) at the end of that month; last of three finishers when up in grade on soft ground at Doncaster in January but good chance he can bounce back in this company on the forecast sounder surface. |

Has improved all of a sudden since fitted with this headgear, winning Class 5s at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) and Taunton (3m2f, good); up another 8lb for last time but he had them well strung out and he's receiving plenty of weight from his rivals. |

Winning hurdler who is 0-15 over fences; placed a few times, as at Windsor on New Year's Day (3m, good), but lesser performances have followed and softer ground was no excuse; cheekpieces return after trying blinkers last time. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |

Back from a break to finish second at Windsor but that was over 3m and he fared less well at Huntingdon where soft ground was no excuse; still, always a chance that blinkers will sharpen up him and the trip shouldn't be a problem. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Recent Windsor second (3m, good; pair 13l clear) was his most likeable performance since last spring; effective on slow ground and over stayers' trips, but untried over both together, and cranked back up 6lb also. |
