19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Successful once during a spell over fences that ended poorly; two attempts back over hurdles represent no improvement on previous form in this sphere; difficult task in this field, despite receiving weight all round. |
22/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June and ran well when back over hurdles there (2m4f, good) this month; remains on a workable mark and is 2-2 at this track; shortlisted. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Might have won over fences here in June but for a bad late mistake (2m4f, good) but, while her Grade 3 assignment at Galway can be forgiven, she was never at the races last time at Perth; could appreciate returning to hurdles and her mark is fine. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Defied an absence to win over C&D (good) in April and bounced back from Market Rasen disappointment to win at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; showed promise on soft ground earlier in career; this progressive mare is a solid contender up 5lb for last time. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Justified favouritism at Perth in April (2m4f, good) on return from a long absence but fared nothing like so well at Market Rasen a month ago; she's consistent in the main and could bounce back; 5lb higher than for that recent win; non-runner at Newton Abbot yesterday. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Holds poor claims on Flat/jumps form this year for new stable and was beaten 32l when a 66-1 shot over C&D 11 days ago; cheekpieces replace visor; opposable. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won on the Flat (2m, good to firm) and over hurdles (2m2f, good) last summer but he's been tailed off in all completed starts under both codes this year; has a lot to prove and he needs a major revival back on the Flat. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed over C&D on latest hurdling start in June and went close over fences here (also 2m7f, good) the following month; not quite in same form in his last two chases, though, and seemingly not as good as he was. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Has the beating of Axel Bleue on their Worcester form in July (2m7f, good; 9lb better off for 0.75l), but was a long way behind both him and Mt Fugi Park when 27l seventh over same C&D last time (made a bad mistake three out); could bounce back. |
10/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hasn't won since landing a Warwick maiden hurdle in April 2024; has an inconsistent profile but ran well on his second start over fences when runner-up to Axel Bleue over C&D (good) three weeks ago; that run puts him in with a shout. |
