18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won twice over hurdles and once over fences for Dan Skelton; wasn't beaten far when third of three on stable debut here (2m1f, good) in May but he was well held in another small-field event over C&D last time; still lightly raced over fences but he needs to step up again after that last run; cheekpieces reapplied. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |

Won twice over hurdles and once over fences for Dan Skelton; sold to join current yard for £10,000 in October; not beaten far when last of three at this track (2m1f, good) last month on stable debut following seven-month break and should be sharper this time; not out of this. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Acts on fast and heavy ground; dual course winner, more recently when clinging on by a short head in December (2m2f, heavy ground); back on the same mark today but he's struggled in his last two runs and needs to get back on track. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Hard to recommend on recent efforts, but has dropped 7lb lower than when gaining his second C&D success back in February; worth a second look with a visor given a try, especially if attracting support. |
9/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in February but he's not fired in three starts since July and seems out of sorts at present; only of interest with market support. |
25/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

This year's win was on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in February and he's 2lb lower today, having gone off the boil in his two runs this summer; has never won beyond 1m4f and he last ran on ground softer than good in 2021. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Successful over 2m at Uttoxeter (good) but out of form since, with recent 14.5l third at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) no big step back in the right direction. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Badly out of form since the autumn but has a first-time tongue-tie fitted here and is now now 10lb lower than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer; well worth a glance in the betting. |
20/1 |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Drying conditions will be in his favour but this 7yo has been struggling for a while now on all sorts of surfaces; potentially on a good mark even from out of the handicap but he's a risky proposition at the minute. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |

0-12 and no match for Pescatorius when second over C&D (good) latest, but that was still an encouraging effort on his second chase start and he's 7lb better off with the winner; has shown ability on soft ground; chance. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ought to be a shoo-in for a 1m4f race off his current mark but he hasn't run on turf for nearly two years and he made it 0-27 overall when pulled up over hurdles recently; tongue-tie/blinkers abandoned. |

1lb lower than when second of six at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) last October, but well held on last month's return over the same C&D (good) and is now 0-26 under rules; others more convincing. |

10st 11lb |
8lb out of the weights when prevailing by 2l over C&D ten days ago for which he carries a penalty; therefore, 1lb lower now, but whether he'll back that up remains to be seen. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Fair third over hurdles last September but struggled in that sphere subsequently and soundly beaten on recent chase debut here; 0-15 over hurdles/fences and 9lb out of the handicap this afternoon. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

0-14 over hurdles, having been pulled up on his last two outings; might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but looks far too risky. |

0-18 over hurdles but seemingly back in decent form on last two appearances; in contention for second before last-flight fall at Kelso (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago and has possibilities if that experience has not dented her confidence. |

More than a year since he ran well on the Flat and the switch to blinkers didn't help last time (returns to the usual cheekpieces today); would be a surprise winner upped from 1m2f. |

Started her handicap career with a promising third at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May but she's not gone on from that and was an early faller at Newton Abbot 12 days ago; has some questions to answer and she needs to get back on track. |
