11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in August and at Ripon (2m, good) last month, appearing to idle in front on the second occasion having travelled extremely well; stayed on for fourth at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) subsequently and the return to 2m could be a strong positive; major player. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in Class 6 on soft and good to soft last year but withdrawn from good to soft on Thursday; first six wins were 1m6f, including at Newmarket this August, and he travelled much the best at Ripon (2m) one week ago before scraping home in front; up 3lb but return to 1m6f is clearly no disincentive and two of his wins last year were separated by only five days; player. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Strong finish from rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 3lb higher and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his four efforts this season a long way behind him, however. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Strong finish from the rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 1lb higher than today and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his three efforts this season a long way behind him, latest when not faring nearly so well with the draw back in Chester Plate, and others have more pressing claims. |
25/1 |

14th 12 (16) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Strong finish from the rear secured this prize last year (good ground) off 1lb lower than today, but also from stall 4 compared to today's stall 16; also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his two efforts this season (1m4f, good) a long way behind him but this may be a much more favourable scenario if the draw does not scupper him. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |
11/8 |

1st 5 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won on the Flat at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and followed up here (2m1f, good) last Tuesday, which was his second run in a handicap hurdle; escapes a penalty for that recent win and there can be considerable optimism that he'll be suited by this step up in trip; could be tough to beat. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up to a dual subsequent winner on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m, good) in September and reverts to this discipline after clearcut 2m AW win in January; could still have untapped potential over jumps; must be considered. |

10th Oct 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promising 2yo, winning at Beverley and then second over 1m on heavy ground at Ffos Las; campaigned over 1m4f+ with little success this year; dropped a long way in the weights and this shorter trip may help but there are risks involved. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won a three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in April but beaten 61l when sixth of seven at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) five weeks ago; still 6lb higher than his last win and needs to return to form. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Came good over fences with easy win in three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in April and stuck to his task pretty well when third of six at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in June; a possible. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
The outsider of three when off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot in April (2m5f, good) and comfortably beat a course specialist; 7lb rise fair given the authority with which he won. |
