17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 1m4f/1m2f handicaps here in April, latterly under Harry Vigors off 2lb lower; then struggled at York's Dante meeting; back from a break with a second over hurdles last month; might just be vulnerable against rivals with lower mileage. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner (good/soft); returned to form with two Flat wins in April, but was soundly beaten when back over hurdles here in June and contests a much stronger race today. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Has been running on the Flat, winning 1m4f/1m2f handicaps before a respectable effort in a competitive race at York; capable hurdler with winning form here and James Murray takes off a useful 7lb. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
He was back from a break and wind surgery when opening his account at the 18th attempt here (about 2m1f, good; Winston's Oath second) 11 days ago; 1lb worse off with the runner-up and needs to conclusively prove his suitability for this trip but still demands consideration. |

10st 8lb |
0-16 over hurdles; ran fairly well when fourth here (2m3f, good) in May and had wind surgery during subsequent 139-day break but others have more pressing claims all the same. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-16 over hurdles but all five of this season's runs were respectable and he continues to edge down the weights; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers here; probably won't be far away. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has shown ability on good ground over hurdles and fences but was disappointing when last seen here in November; has since had a wind op but needs to step up if he's to win this. |

0-7 under rules for Tom Ellis but ran well in defeat on last month's chasing debut at Hereford (3m1f, good); recently changed hands for £6,000; drops back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted on this stable debut. |

Won a 3m chase here in October last year (soft); below par all seven runs this year (six of them here); best watched for now. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Pulled up on both starts since his wind op in June, latterly when reverting to hurdling over C&D; 1lb wrong today and urgently needs to prove some ability remains. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Made the frame in two Irish maiden hurdles in 2021 but lightly raced and generally very disappointing for Alison Hamilton in recent years; proved he retains a modicum of ability when sixth at huge odds in recent Perth maiden (2m4f, good) but still makes only limited appeal here. |
33/1 |

6th 6 |
4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed clear promise over hurdles in Ireland in 2021 but he has form figures of PPP0P for current yard and those last three runs were in handicaps; returns after another absence and can only be watched back in a maiden; tongue-tie reapplied. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 180y |
10st 13lb |
12-race maiden has come closest when neck second over C&D on penultimate run (good); put in another good performance here prior to that when third here; pulled up latest at Wexford but if she is to make the breakthrough it is likely to come here and blinkers can help, although soft ground a concern. |
7/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 1lb |
Maiden getting closer, most recently only caught close home over 2m6f at Downpatrick 18 days ago, having been made plenty of use of; 4lb higher but should go well over this less demanding track. |
6/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 11lb |
Finished in front of Benz but 2.5l behind Georgia Celena over C&D when last seen (good); 4lb better off with that rival now; has been running consistently and the cheekpieces worn at Hexham in her run prior now go back on after being left off in her most recent run; she should go close. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Not disgraced on handicap hurdle debut in May, after a break, but finished well down the field on latest outing and could be considered only if lively in the betting here. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Beaten about 20l when fifth on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) but that run came after a break and he remains unexposed over hurdles; possible improver. |

7th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Seemed best at 7f on the Flat but never won a race; beaten a long way on all four starts over hurdles and the ground wasn't too soft for any of them; handicap debut. |

Made encouraging hurdle debut for Alan King in 2022 but has struggled this season, most recently when 50-1 for handicap debut at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in July; moves up in trip here. |
