23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024 but has been unable to get his head in front since; his mark continues to drop and cheekpieces are back on replacing a visor; best watched. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
2-15 over hurdles; winless this campaign but it started quite well and the third at Sandown in December was in a first-time visor that now returns having been missing the last twice; on a fair mark if factoring in Murray Dodd's claim; could stage a revival. |

5th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Showed nothing on the Flat over 7f; 0-5 over hurdles but bang there the last twice on soft and good ground; won't be far away under what is effectively 10st. |

9th Oct 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Placed on two of her four hurdle starts, more recently when keeping-on second to good yardstick at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) last month; that form doesn't set a daunting standard but ought to make her presence felt. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
5yo who made it 2-7 over hurdles when scoring in a first-time visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; that was by a nose but he hit a personal best with that success and is still unexposed at staying trips; respected up 4lb. |

1st 8 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced since winning 2m juvenile hurdle here in summer 2024; kept on for very respectable third of five over C&D (good) 11 days ago, and remains unexposed over this trip, but today's race is more competitive; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor. |
8/1 |

3rd 3 |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Scored on his hurdles debut in July 2024; returned to the track from a lengthy absence in February and produced his best performance to date when beaten 3l stepped up in trip at Taunton (3m, good) in April; drops down in grade here and may have to offer. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Runner-up over 2m7f at Fakenham last month, since when she's finished 12l behind at Stratford; only 1-33 overall and others preferred for win purposes. |
12/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Off the mark at the 25th attempt with a comfortable C&D success this month and similar form in defeat last week off this 3lb higher mark; in the mix. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 25th attempt with a comfortable C&D success ten days ago; a 3lb rise looks fair and a repeat would make him a major player, though his overall profile remains patchy. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
1-16 over hurdles, having gained a hard-fought course win (2m6f, good) in May; evidently well suited by this track but will need to find hidden reserves to overcome a 4lb higher mark on this chasing debut. |
12/1 |

2nd 12 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Off the mark at the 15th attempt over hurdles, over C&D (good) last month; 4lb higher but should give a good account in her follow-up bid. |
6/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has yet to win and placed again on her first run for this yard in a 2m maiden at Worcester 18 days ago; still appeals as a likely contender and she has been competitive off this sort of mark. |
9/4 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame on five of her eight hurdling starts for Alex Hales, most recently when second of seven in Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) in May; soundly beaten on final two outings for that stable and not sure to be favoured by the forecast rain here but has good claims if back on song for new trainer Olly Murphy. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Close third of five on stable/hurdle debut at Hexham (soft) in June but that form has not worked out well and he's been soundly beaten twice since (latterly behind Torrent at Uttoxeter). |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in low-grade handicaps on the Flat and bettered his disappointing hurdle debut when ridden much more positively at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time visor) in July, finishing third behind Torrent; has a fighting chance if he handles the slower ground. |
9/1 |

3rd 12 |
28th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Modest maiden on the Flat; should have the stamina for hurdling but was tailed off at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) on first attempt at this discipline; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor. |

6th 7 |
25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
No wins in 11 on the Flat but mostly consistent and he stayed 1m4f; could make a hurdler. |
