9th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful handicap hurdler; jumped left and was a well-beaten favourite over C&D on chasing debut in March but rebounded with perfectly respectable run in competitive Cheltenham hurdle last month and could still have a good future over fences. |

11st 6lb |
It's all gone a bit pear-shaped since winning a small-field handicap hurdle earlier in the season (2m, good) and he ran no race on chase debut last time out; perhaps best watched until hinting at a revival. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up twice in a row in November (2m/1m7f, good) and, having had wind surgery, went one better when making all at Southwell (2m, soft) on New Year's Day; faces a tougher assignment now 4lb higher in this hotter race but this course winner is progressive and could make another bold bid. |

10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Six-time Flat winner and it was his third success over hurdles when doing it fairly comfortably at Hereford (2m, good) recently after a break; whether he's up to this class is another matter and he's 5lb higher. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
A length winner at Southwell in October (2m, good) and ran quite well off this 6lb higher mark at Wetherby; that was in a higher grade so likely to feature provided he doesn't need the run. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and soft ground; dual-purpose performer, who won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) last July and he returned to the Flat with a front-running second over C&D last month; on unchanged mark and another bold bid could be on the cards. |
5/1 |

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Often made the running under both codes and may again, having been below par under a more patient ride over hurdles latterly; softer ground would perhaps have been optimal but he handles these conditions and is on a competitive mark. |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime; 0-8 over hurdles but caught the eye travelling strongly for a long way on last month's reappearance outing at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) and has placed form over C&D; dangerous to ignore. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but has 0-7 strike-rate over hurdles and was tailed off in Market Rasen handicap on latest outing, in December; getting back on good ground will suit him but others in this line-up have much less to prove. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Seen far more often over hurdles in recent years and she's pretty useful, but pulled up in March on latest outing; stiff task in a three-runner race last September and that's her only Flat run since a creditable show over C&D (good to firm) in June 2022; down the weights but not solid. |

12st 0lb |
Won two handicaps in a row at Sedgefield (2m4f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year before tough Grade 2 task at Doncaster; however, only fifth when back in a handicap at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month and needs a bigger performance this afternoon. |
