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. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Back in prime form when holding on well to score over C&D (good) on last month's chase return and now 4-10 over fences; recent 3lb rise does not look excessive and there's a good chance he'll be right in the thick of things again. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |

Three-time winner over fences (once over C&D) in early part of last season; returned from break with two below-par hurdle runs this spring but could be back at concert pitch for this return to chasing; a possible. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won five over hurdles for previous yards and three over fences last term for current trainer; may have needed the run when seventh of eight finishers at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month after six-month layoff but probably needs to come down the weights. |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

His form has deteriorated and he was only eighth at Wincanton last month; however, he had shown spark when third at Taunton in November following a break, and he's not ruled out now back at the scene of his last two wins. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Six-time hurdle winner who hit a personal best when scoring at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January but his form has slumped in two subsequent runs; has bit to prove again and this is competitive on this drop back in trip. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Showed career-best form when comfortably winning from Bourbali at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January and a subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground there is not viewed harshly; has been ridden by a good 7lb claimer lately, though, and might find others better handicapped. |
9/2 |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Has done very well over 2m3f here in recent months, winning twice and second in between; those results were achieved on good/good to soft and today's much deeper ground is a slight concern given he's been below par on both hurdle outings on heavy. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Spell over fences featured two wins last June; unable to take advantage of drop to selling level back over hurdles last time but won this contest off 5lb higher 12 months ago (admittedly beat only two rivals) and has a fighting chance provided he's back in similar form. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser at his best but his form has nosedived and he jumped poorly when last of six in 2m4f handicap chase at Leicester in December; back from a break now and needs it to spark a resurgence. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won two Uttoxeter chases in June (2m5f/2m4f) and returned from 12-week break with pretty good second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) this month; remains on career-high mark but ought to make his presence felt again. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

Was running quite well over fences until last time when pulled up; has a higher hurdle mark despite being a maiden in this discipline but if back on song he should be competitive in this bad a race. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |

Probably fortunate to win off today's mark over C&D (good to soft; leader fell at final fence) in October, but that was still a good effort and his next two runs were respectable; contender if tuned up after 97-day break. |

11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who hit a personal best with his last success at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May; 6lb higher on his return but he's a brother to a useful chaser and needs a close look on this switch to fences. |

Bidding for a hat-trick of hurdle wins having won his last two races over 2m4f here, last time beating Well Educated by 9l; won over 1m5f on the Flat at Hamilton in between (good); 9lb higher than last win, but a chance despite dropping back in trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

5lb higher mark than for last month's soft-ground C&D victory over Sunset Hill and Johnson's Blue still reads favourably next to his 2022-23 peak RPRs; Flat scorer at Hamilton since (1m5f, good), and plainly on fine terms with himself again; player. |

Won over C&D (good to soft) last September and he's just 1lb higher today; won over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month on his second start for this yard and there's lots to like about his claims. |

0-8 over hurdles now but looked suited by the step up in trip when running big race in C&D handicap (good) in May and ought to make his presence felt again in this maiden. |

Close up in a 2m2f Stratford novice (good) last June but on the slide since and he's been pulled up in the last two of his three handicaps; still lightly raced in this sphere but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has plenty to prove at this new trip. |
