23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
Landed Alastair Ralph a fourth win from his last six runners when powering home in the debuted visor (replaced) at Stratford latest (2m6f, good); player, though he has never yet managed to follow up a win, and the penalty takes him 7lb above the mark defied in this race last year. |

His wins have been at 3m2f and 3m; arrives here after good-ground seconds at Uttoxeter and Warwick, his second and third starts in blinkers; should be in the mix provided he takes to more new headgear. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but she struggled last year and was beaten 20l at Sedgefield when last seen in November; now 4lb lower than for her last success but she needs a major revival after a break. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Only 1lb higher than when winning at Ludlow (3m, good) last November but has very unconvincing record since returning from a break in April; lost jockey when attempting to refuse at first flight on penultimate appearance and was soundly beaten when fourth last time; others are much less risky. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Returned from a break with two below-par hurdle runs in the spring; lost her jockey after a bad mistake over fences in July and repeated the feat when slamming the brakes on back over hurdles at Stratford 18 days ago; might be developing ideas and she can only be watched after that. |

Only win came on good ground off 2lb higher here last May (3m1f); has run well since then but form has taken a turn for the worse this year and should have run better only 19 days ago at Hereford when back on good ground. |

Only win came on good ground off this mark at Warwick last May (3m1f); was knocking on the door in the autumn (on good and good to soft) and a softer surface has perhaps found him out the last twice; better expected. |

Launched handicap career with two respectable fifths for Harriet Dickin this spring, latterly in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); needs to take a step forward here but had wind surgery in June and it will be interesting to see what Donald McCain can do with him. |

Had no excuses when a beaten favourite on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m7f, good; following wind surgery) but it was a solid run and one he's entitled to build on after just five starts. |

His only placing in 27 starts came in an AW handicap in September 2017; poor form since returning from a mammoth absence in October and makes his chase debut at the age of 13; can't be recommended. |

Maiden who was big prices and well held throughout 2025; goes without regular headgear but hard to foresee a good run from out of the weights. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Pulled up on both outings this season (2m4f/2m7f) and now 0-29 over hurdles; drops back to about 2m and swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor here; very difficult to enthuse over. |

Runner-up at Stratford in July (3m2f, good) but remains a maiden and he soon capitulated after a mistake three out at Fontwell a month ago; blinkers go on for cheekpieces. |

Beaten in six handicaps from 2m3f to 3m and latest 10l defeat here is the closest he's been; not without hope if he can find something on that off an ever-reducing mark. |
