7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |

Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Headstrong front-runner who gained two of her five hurdling wins over C&D and is well suited by good ground; absent since her very respectable third in Listed grade at Wetherby (2m, good) in November but has won when fresh before and has a big role to play here if fully tuned up. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Headstrong front-runner who won a handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in June and was a good second in a handicap at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in September; however, she was only sixth of eight in a Listed race at Kempton (2m, good) a fortnight ago and looks vulnerable once more. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not as good as he was but that's reflected in his mark and he knows his way around this place; returning from a break when third in this 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; could easily have a role to play. |
7/2 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; placed on final two starts last season (2m hurdle/2m1f chase) and drops back in trip after looking stretched by 2m4f last month; probably best on good/good to soft but has won on soft; enters calculations. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; second off today's mark on latest hurdling start at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in March and also ran well when third in Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month; well worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won a Sedgefield handicap hurdle in May (2m1f, good to firm) but has been rather disappointing over hurdles and on the Flat since; needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

9st 1lb |
About 7l behind Diamond Bay at Goodwood (1m6f, good) on final Flat run but has since won well with the blinkers back on over hurdles, albeit an ordinary handicap; Ashley Lewis also takes off a handy 7lb; could have some role to play. |
8/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Generally disappointing over hurdles since Plumpton novice win (2m, good to soft) in early 2024 and not seen in this sphere since down-the-field finish in Ascot handicap in December; in fairly good form on the Flat this year, though, and his current hurdle mark ought to be workable; market may guide. |

9st 12lb |
All four Flat wins have been over today's distance; last win was at Sandown in July last year off 3lb higher and he's slowly edged down the weights since; could have a say. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Thoroughly exposed eight-time winner and a 9yo now; however, positives to take from three of his last four runs and no reason why he won't be involved. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Retains plenty of ability aged nine, having finished a close second in two of his three outings this term, latest at Sandown; was still capable of winning races last summer and can't be ruled out. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has won one of his four starts since returning from a break in May and finished runner-up in the other three, latest in a match at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) in August when the race wasn't run to suit; all times ridden by Isabelle Ryder; leading contender off 1lb lower. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has been in good form since returning from a break, finishing second at Hereford in May before winning over C&D in June and running another solid race when a 5.5l second at Stratford off this mark last time, all under Isabelle Ryder; looks set for another bold showing. |
4/6 |

A sixth win over hurdles when beating three rivals with a bit in hand at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); got off lightly with just a 1lb nudge; respected. |

Multiple winner over hurdles, most recently at Hereford early last season; absent for over a year prior to two unconvincing Flat efforts last month but the return to this code may have a positive effect. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won twice over hurdles last year; back from a 472-day break when down the field at Carlisle earlier this month (1m, good); should come on for that and this trip will suit better, but soft ground not ideal. |
40/1 |

7th 1 (6) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
In good form over hurdles when last seen in the spring of 2025; this first run for 472 days, and first Flat outing since October 2021, may be needed. |
