7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Winning pointer; 18 defeats under rules equally divided between hurdles and fences; however, accepted the new cheekpieces when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last time and that run offers hope. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Winning pointer who is 0-17 under rules and 0-8 as a chaser; he does have placed form in this discipline but his last three efforts have been well below his best, the latest after wind surgery; bit risky with cheekpieces turned to. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-6 over fences when trained by Keiran Burke and absent since modest third in first-time blinkers (now removed) at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) last September; 7lb lower for this stable debut but others look safer. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won three times in early part of year and was back in good nick when close fourth (hampered close home) over C&D (good) last month but may find others better handicapped in this stronger race; cheekpieces refitted. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times in early part of this year, most recently here (3m2f, good) in April, but seemed to have gone off the boil on last two outings in May/June and current mark demands a career-best performance. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Ridden by Robbie David on last eight outings; won four of his 15 races last season, with a stack of place returns as well; latest win was off a 5lb lower mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, followed by a creditable second there but he was pulled up at Southwell five weeks ago; has bounced back before but this is a tough race in which to do it. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
A three-time scorer (including over C&D) last season; hinted at a revival when a never-nearer fifth over 3m4f at Taunton last month so needs considering off a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time chase winne, the latest at Ffos Las (3m4f, good) off this mark in October; has been below par in three runs since but his usual cheekpieces are back on and he may appreciate this better ground. |
6/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Readily beat a stablemate in small-field marathon here (3m4f, good) in October and will be fine on today's slower ground but his two runs towards the end of last year were disappointing and he needs to have been refreshed by 101-day break. |

1-14 as a chaser; won at Stratford in September (2m6f, good) and fair efforts since then; can go well if fitness isn't an issue on first run since October. |
