21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time hurdle winner (2m-2m3f) who is still seeking a first chase success after four attempts over fences, though he's gone close on a couple of occasions; the drop in trip will not be an issue and he's not yet fully exposed, but he'll need to step up on those efforts if he's to break his duck. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time hurdle winner (2m-2m3f); not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but ran well in defeat over fences at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last month and has possibilities if this new trip suits. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently off this mark at Exeter (2m, good) in November; made a promising chase debut in May when a staying-on second at Huntingdon (2m, good) but never involved at Newton Abbot (2m, good to soft) last month, shaping on both occasions as though a step back up in trip would help; player. |

12st 0lb |
Came good over hurdles at 11th attempt with ready success at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) in April; cheekpieces worn on last three starts are absent and yard yet to get off the mark this term; will need to be ready to roll on this chasing debut conceding weight all round. |

17th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won 2m Stratford maiden (good to firm) in July; not obviously ahead of his mark in handicaps since but has done enough to think he can be involved back on a less testing track than at Exeter last time; not far away. |

Stratford maiden winner who was returning from wind surgery when a staying-on second at Ludlow (2m handicap, good); flattered get to 2l behind Brendas Asking who runs in the 3.00, but he was clear of the rest; today's stiffer track promises to suit. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Two wins for Chris Down last year, latest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) off 3lb lower; well-held fourth of seven on stable/seasonal debut at Worcester (2m5f) but ran well for a long way; worth considering with that run behind him. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three races in 2024; inconsistent since but ran well when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day; two poor runs since but has undergone wind surgery and a first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces; interesting if the market speaks favourably. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for two defeats of late; sole attempt in cheekpieces resulted in good second at Kempton (2m5f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied headgear. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Surprising to see the cheekpieces left off as they were on for the first time when pushing an improver close at Kempton (2m5f, good; all wins on good to soft); he was 12l clear of the third so a 4lb rise could have been worse; respected. |

5yo who made it 2-7 over hurdles when scoring in a first-time visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; that was by a nose but he hit a personal best with that success and is still unexposed at staying trips; respected up 4lb. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced since winning 2m juvenile hurdle here in summer 2024; kept on for very respectable third of five over C&D (good) 11 days ago, and remains unexposed over this trip, but today's race is more competitive; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |

Scored on his hurdles debut in July 2024; returned to the track from a lengthy absence in February and produced his best performance to date when beaten 3l stepped up in trip at Taunton (3m, good) in April; drops down in grade here and may have to offer. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |

Refused to race at Wincanton in October so not without risk; won at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last August and returned to form with 11l third under Anna Johnston at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in December; the winner aside, that latest form is working out well and he could be thereabouts down 2lb. |

11st 12lb |
Free-going front-runner who won five 2m chases in early part of last season; comfortably reeled in on both outings since returning from a break this spring, though, and comes here with a point to prove. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Highly progressive over fences in the first half of last season, winning here four times (2m, good to soft/good); 2m5f here appeared to stretch him last month following some time off; has a lower mark to work with back over hurdles and he could play a leading role back down in trip. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |

Highly progressive over fences last summer, winning five handicaps (four here) at around 2m on ground no worse than good to soft, though he ended the campaign pulled up at Cheltenham; has since had a second wind op and could find more at this longer trip (2m3f hurdle winner), which will be needed off this mark following a break. |

Modest dual 1m4f Flat winner; showed something over hurdles in spring 2023 over the minimum trip but little when returned to this sphere for 2m handicap in November; trying an extra mile today is not greatly persuasive. |
