20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off a lowly mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in summer 2024, but his form this spring was not particularly inspiring and he's 8lb out of the weights on this first appearance in five months. |

Won at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer and ended last season with two fairly respectable runs, latterly when sixth in C&D race won by Millies Mite one month ago, but is out of the weights again today. |

10st 7lb |
Only 1-16 over fences but it was his first run after wind surgery when coming from off the pace for a closing third at Bangor (3m, good) last week; that's something to build on and Sean Bowen is back. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Came good with narrow win off lowly mark at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in September but last month's reappearance run was disappointing; given another wind op (his second) since; others are more persuasive. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Veteran who has been lightly raced in recent years but proved he retains ability when a respectable third over C&D (good to soft) in July; has a soft-ground win on his CV; each-way claims at least. |

3rd 9 |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Veteran who has been very lightly raced in recent years; not disgraced in heavy-ground hurdle in March, after a one-year absence, but we haven't seen him since and his current ability is tricky to gauge. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole career success came in this race 12 months ago and a recent close fourth here behind Edgewell should have teed him up for his defence; nothing wrong with his mark for all that he's 1lb wrong. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has modest 1-29 strike-rate under rules but the win was gained over C&D (last summer) and last month's reappearance run was much more encouraging than his eventual 78l defeat suggests; each-way claims at least. |
8/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Returned from break with good-ground C&D win in October and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) a few weeks later; struggled on heavy ground at Fontwell in December but has been freshened up again since and Sean Bowen keeps the ride; must be considered. |

10st 2lb |
Gained last two wins over fences; has refused to race; ties in with two of today's rivals on C&D form last time (third start for new yard) but isn't certain to back up that effort, having become unreliable. |
10/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual hurdle and dual chase winner when trained by Seamus Mullins; flopped over fences (pulled up) on stable debut in March and was well held back over hurdles at Taunton last time; well handicapped on her best Irish form but she needs to get back on track. |

10st 6lb |
Low-mileage 5yo; soundly beaten on chasing debut in May but shaped with more promise when keeping on steadily from the rear for fourth at Fakenham (2m, good) last month, having been hampered by a faller and made two notable jumping errors; moves up in trip today; may have more to offer. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only one win from 18 runs over fences but he tends to run his race and has plenty of placed efforts to his name; below par when third off this mark over C&D last month and now wears a refitted tongue-tie; could quickly return to form. |
7/4 |

3rd 3 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Won this race for Alison Thorpe a year ago (good ground; visored) and returned from layoff with close second for new stable at Southwell (3m, good; first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago; strong claims. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
In good form for Alison Thorpe in early part of last season, notably when winning at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good); yet fully to convince stamina-wise at around 3m and has fitness to prove on this stable debut (same owners) but Sean Bowen (who has won on him before) is booked; swaps visor for first-time blinkers. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

25th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Won French deep-ground 2m3f hurdle in June 2019 and has placed form over fences but hasn't been seen since falling in a cross-country chase in November 2021; can only be watched with plenty to prove for his new stable after such a long absence. |

11st 2lb |
Showed the benefit of a fourth wind operation when winning over hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May and only narrowly denied by an in-form Skelton horse off 3lb higher two weeks later; below par since but he returns to fences on a competitive mark. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |
