28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Hasn't had a lot of racing and he makes his chase debut off the same mark he defied fairly comfortably in a 3m1f handicap hurdle last week at Huntingdon (good to firm); major claims if he takes to his new discipline. |
9/4 |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Just 1-8 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up to 2m7f when clear second at Uttoxeter (good to soft) in March, where she travelled strongly for a long way; up in trip again here; must be considered. |

2nd 10 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who justified favouritism in Aintree maiden (2m4f, good) in October 2024; hasn't made a big impact in handicaps since but his latest fourth at Haydock was a fair effort after a short break; continues to slide down the weights and he's one to keep an eye on at this new trip. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful Flat stayer who has made the frame on all three hurdling starts; left behind by wide-margin winner when second here (2m6f, soft) last month but that was still a good effort and he's a contender over this shorter trip. |
5/1 |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful Flat performer and was running okay (beaten 5l in the Chester Cup) until below par last time with a visor back on (now discarded); two respectable efforts over hurdles last year, notably when second in an Aintree maiden; every chance; has no clear ground preferences. |
7/4 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 46y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Often ridden by Zak Wheatley; slow starts have been interfering with what used to be a front-running role; best known for exploits at Chester, admittedly last winning any race in July 2023; ran creditably off this mark in good handicaps both starts this term, sixth in the Chester Cup last time, but he was third in this race last year and may come up a bit short once again. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-3 in bumpers last year (two wins here) and opened hurdling account in modest Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, soft) in December; not discredited when fifth over 2m7f at Thurles (good) later that month and has good claims on this handicap debut if ready to roll after 204-day absence. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual winner in this sphere but has been operating below his best for a while and is best left alone at present. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn (three attempts) and he's looked out of sorts over hurdles lately; will appreciate this ease in grade but still needs huge boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Potentially well handicapped but he tried chasing earlier this season and hasn't offered a lot back over hurdles; it looks significant that regular rider Sam Twiston-Davies has turned elsewhere. |

1st Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Placed in two of his three bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies before £15,000 sale in May; 15l third on hurdles debut at Market Rasen in August (2m, good; second has won since); should improve for this step up in trip. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 0lb |
Won first four races for this stable at around this trip and ran well again here at Christmas when third to Duke Silver, having made most; blinkers now replace cheekpieces but has it to do from 5lb out of handicap, and ideally may want better ground. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Relatively unexposed, but mainly modest efforts, including on stable debut at Ayr last time (2m7f, good to soft); may do better. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
A whiff of ability before he flopped badly in his two handicaps (2m4f); has since changed hands and left the Twiston-Davies yard; tongue tied first time for this chase debut after four months off. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Well beaten in two bumpers for this stable in March 2024 and also struggled on both hurdling starts for Steph Cameron last autumn; now back in the Twiston-Davies yard; huge improvement needed. |
