13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Well handicapped on her chase form in 2024; one to watch in the betting on this first run since that November but it's a hefty absence to defy and she's 0-8 over hurdles as opposed to 4-13 over fences. |

Latest chase success was a 3m3f handicap at Stratford in August (good to firm); fair efforts afterwards and 2m5f looked too sharp at Fakenham five days ago; one of two good chances for Evan Williams. |

Won over fences here (3m2f, good) for Barry Brennan last summer and has posted a couple of good efforts in that sphere this season; reverts to hurdling off lower mark for new stable here; could have a say. |

10st 10lb |
Winning pointer who left inauspicious chase/handicap debut a long way behind when third at Stratford (3m3f, good to firm) in first-time cheekpices/tongue-tie in August; didn't run badly at Hexham ten days ago and enters calculations here. |

Cheekpieces worked initially when winning two chases in early 2023 but he's suffered a major slump in form; others preferred. |

27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Six-time hurdle winner who stays well and is usually ridden very patiently; well beaten on both appearances this season and not seen over fences since two unconvincing attempts in January 2020; given a good chance by the handicapper but still looks risky. |
14/1 |

14th Jun 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Gained three of his six hurdling wins over C&D; pulled up ten days ago, after a break, and won't be favoured by the forecast rain here but is too well handicapped to rule out and the return to this track is an obvious plus; usually ridden very patiently. |

27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-French veteran; returned from mammoth absence with very respectable third at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) for new stable in June but struggled when dropped back to 2m5f there last month; tricky to weigh up. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ex-French veteran who returned from mammoth absence with very respectable third here (3m2f, good) on last month's stable debut; needs to build on that performance today but slower ground won't be a problem. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 |
25th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
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 9lb |
On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); returned to form with a string of good efforts in the autumn but absent since pulled up in Fakenham marathon just before Christmas and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |

Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player. |

11st 10lb |
Below best on soft two starts ago but he showed tenacity when hanging on to his lead at Huntingdon (3m, good) last month under Rian Corcoran; back up 2lb but he can find further mild improvement; respected. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the breakthrough in a first-time visor when scoring at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in December and he followed up at Taunton (about 3m2f, good) at the end of that month; last of three finishers when up in grade on soft ground at Doncaster in January but good chance he can bounce back in this company on the forecast sounder surface. |
10/11 |
|
3rd 6 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has improved all of a sudden since fitted with this headgear, winning Class 5s at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) and Taunton (3m2f, good); up another 8lb for last time but he had them well strung out and he's receiving plenty of weight from his rivals. |
