3rd 4 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
A summer jumper who mixes hurdling with chasing; won here over fences (2m5f, good) last October; returns from a six-month break and has never won following such an absence. |
5/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two chase wins in the second half of 2024 but has mixed record since last success and was well held over hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but all of his wins have been at shorter trips and others are more convincing. |
7/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Two chase wins in the second half of 2024, including here (2m, good); ran okay when third of six back over hurdles over C&D three weeks ago but beaten 8l and this 11yo has to build on that latest performance. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Experienced chaser with a good strike rate (9-48 and placed on 20 other occasions); returned from a winter break not far off his best recent form when 1l second at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) last month; up 2lb but should again be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Gained five of his nine chase wins at this track (2m/2m3f) but absent since below-par run in October and still on a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Multiple winner but went up 6lb for beating four rivals at Fontwell (2m3f, good) and was only fourth off this mark next time, though merely 2l behind the winner; could be vulnerable again. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Southwell (2m, good) in October but looked set to be second when left in the lead at Bangor; however, only 2lb higher now and he reportedly finished lame in November on his final run. |
13/2 |

1st 3 |
27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Watch the weather as all his best form is on good ground, including latest comfortable win at Southwell (2m); could deal with the 6lb rise under suitable conditions. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
On a fairly tough mark but otherwise has plenty in his favour and ran a solid second over C&D last time; every chance. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Below par when last seen in August but ran pretty well in his previous two races, including here; has plenty in his favour, other than a tough enough mark. |
8/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Two solid placed efforts since returning from a break, latest when a 7.25l third at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm; Magic Seven second) last month; should give another good account though he remains vulnerable off this sort of mark. |

14th Nov 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ten chase wins since last seen over hurdles in 2020, the latest when digging deep at regular haunt Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in August; below-form fourth of five at Wincanton last time but still looks the main threat to Tuxedo Junction. |

10st 2lb |
Unlucky to come to grief in early stages at Ludlow last month (first-time blinkers, retained) and remains on a good mark but this regressive and inconsistent 7yo is now 0-10 over fences. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won twice in the space of three starts last year but has soon returned to the doldrums; can't be supported with any confidence. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Needed considerable help from the handicapper before winning twice last year and has looked badly out of sorts on both appearances this year; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; can't be supported with any confidence. |
10/1 |
|
10th 6 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Disappointing on last two starts but he won twice in the second half of last year (2m, good to soft/good) and the fact his stable is enjoying a very productive month suggests he is well worth a second look. |
13/2 |
