12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
A very useful novice hurdler last season and ran big race when third of 17 on handicap debut at Aintree festival (2m, good) in April, having been badly hampered in early stages and made up considerable ground from the rear; 5lb higher here but still has more to offer. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Two handicap wins here this season (3m, good) and he took the rise in grade in his stride to win the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle over C&D (soft) in January; the 7l runner-up Impose Toi was giving him 6lb and perhaps wasn't at his best, but this highly progressive 7yo was impressive nevertheless; his profile is not dissimilar to that of Paisley Park, who won the Cleeve for this yard in 2019 before landing this race; very much one to be interested in. |

1st 6 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won big-field handicap here (3m, good) in October and bounced back from lesser run at Haydock to win handicap over this C&D (good) on New Year's Day; won a bumper on soft ground; further improvement needed now up in grade but trainer enjoyed lots of success in this race with Paisley Park and this progressive 7yo is an each-way possible at a track he obviously relishes. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific between November 2024 and June 2025, with his four wins in that spell including two here; his progress seemed to stall subsequently but he ran well when second of five to a progressive winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last time and could be in the mix; effective on good to soft. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Taunton win this time last year was the first leg of an eventual hat-trick (2m1f-2m3f) all recorded on good or quicker surfaces, so drying forecast is all to the good; chance, assuming he's not goaded into making the same sorts of errors as on his recent return here. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has won five of his last seven races and he might be high in the weights now having come up well short (beaten 13l) on final sighting at Newton Abbot in October (2m1f); on the plus side, he's back at Class 4 level and has won over this far; others are preferred. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb. |
7/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Dual-purpose performer but his last Flat win was in December 2023; some creditable efforts off a falling mark on AW (2m) and turf (1m6f) this season but he was tailed off at Newbury last time and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns. |

Below his best in three runs since returning from a break but he is on a competitive mark and may benefit from recent wind surgery. |

Two creditable efforts since returning from a short break, latest when a close fourth over 2m1f here last month off this mark; stays this far and enters calculations. |

Held on well to make all in Newcastle handicap (2m4f, good) in March, his seventh hurdle run for Philip Kirby, and is open to further improvement if fully tuned up for this stable debut (same owners); shortlisted. |

Yet to hit top gear after three runs this year (suffered heavy fall on penultimate outings) but won twice at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer and is back on a good mark now; could have a say. |

Won twice at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer and was subsequently placed off higher marks than today's; made just a satisfactory reappearance here in April and fell heavily when last in action but will be a danger to all if back in prime form. |

Showed some ability in three Flat runs (7f-1m) but that was in 2019 and he makes hurdling/stable debut after a mammoth absence. |
