2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has five wins over fences, the latest at Sedgefield last September off 5lb lower; should strip fitter for a recent fourth over hurdles but may need to come down a few pounds. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time chase winner who was placed on hurdle return at Kempton (2m, good) in October; absent since lesser effort in November but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran fairly well when second over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May, albeit no threat to winner Doc McCoy and subsequently disqualified after rider weighed in light, but was tailed off over fences last month and has become unreliable. |
20/1 |
|
4th 3 |
18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Ran fairly well when second over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last month, albeit no threat to winner and subsequently disqualified after rider weighed in light; reverts to chasing on a workable mark but seemingly not in peak form this year. |
6/1 |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ran well on both visits here, winning over hurdles last March and second over fences in December; however, he's been out of form elsewhere on his last three outings, back hurdling on last two, and now has tongue tied first time; not proven over this far; 10lb claimer is recruited. |

2nd 1 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in this race last year off the same mark; fine efforts when runner-up in February on first two starts (2m, AW) since rejoining this yard, but reportedly made a respiratory noise next time and, following his third wind operation, he was a soundly beaten outsider in Listed race four weeks ago; others seem more solid. |
40/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fine efforts when runner-up in 2m AW handicaps in February on first two starts since rejoining this yard; reportedly made a respiratory noise at Musselburgh in April and he's had a third wind operation since; however, even if returning to form, a career-best if needed from this 6yo today. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

3rd Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Not the force of old but seemed to have benefited from a wind op when close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't run as badly as 28l defeat might suggest at Perth (2m4f, good) last time, having made a mid-race jumping error; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here. |

7th 1 |
26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Not the force of old and the step back up in trip isn't sure to suit; however, after a wind op he returned to form with a close second off his reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, and is entitled to respect. |
