29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Lightly raced gelding who did well in handicap chases last season for Dan Skelton before losing his way; beaten in two points for current yard and he'll need more here; has won on heavy. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Scored by 8l on seasonal/chase debut at Carlisle (3m2f, good to soft) in October and was placed over 3m on next two outings; finished very weakly when upped to 3m5f at Warwick last month, which is a concern, but could plausibly still have untapped potential over marathon trips. |

28th Dec 2024 Good 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here. |

12st 0lb |
This is much easier than the three 0-120 novice handicaps he's contested over fences so far, but mistakes have been as much the issue as race class, as was again the case at Carlisle latest; down 3lb more. |

24th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 34y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Point runner-up (3m, soft) who won a handicap hurdle at Bangor (2m7f, good) in June; he's well treated on that form and things may click over fences at some stage, but there have been jumping errors and heavy defeats on his first two chase starts. |

held up in rear, steady headway after 7th, raced in second when not fluent 3 out, lost position before 2 out, weakened before last |

5th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Went close at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December and also ran well when fourth over C&D (soft) in February; current mark is workable but she was very disappointing on good ground last month and would appeal much more on a slower surface. |
4/1 |

9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not disgraced in two of her last three starts as when fourth of eight at Chepstow (3m, soft) four weeks ago, but this trip on drying ground may be an insufficient test for her now and she looks vulnerable to younger rivals. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Dual hurdle winner who is 0-11 over fences but he has the form to feature off this mark if ready to rock on his stable debut after a long absence; the market should be informative. |

Ex-Philip Hobbs/Johnson White; dual hurdle winner (including on testing ground) but yet to win over fences, although came close when head second at Wetherby in November (3m, good); fair efforts since; one to consider. |
