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. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
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. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
June's Newton Abbot win by a nose (3m2f, good) in a first-time visor constituted only the tiniest of improvements judged on RPRs; consolidated that form effort when fourth over today's C&D subsequently, over 4l behind Fane Court, and probably nothing much in hand off his current mark. |

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. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Free-going front-runner who won four times over C&D early last season including this race; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he's struggled since returning from a break in May and was a long way behind Breaking Cover at Stratford last time; has some questions to answer and he needs to get back on track. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |

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. |

Runner-up in maiden hurdle here (1m7f, good to soft) in April 2023 and won AW handicap 13 days later; however, following a long absence he's been pulled up in two handicap hurdles this season and has plenty to prove. |

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. |
