14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
On a hat-trick after justifying favouritism at Market Rasen and Ffos Las (both 2m); a combined rise of 16lb - 8lb for latest win - makes life more challenging as he moves into a Class 3 for the first time; however, he's improving and spearheads his yard's triple representation in this field. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Rewarded strong market support when winning readily at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month, on his second run after a layoff, and is now 2-8 over hurdles; 8lb higher here but still commands respect. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Still a maiden and this season has been a game of two halves, with his second-place finishes in November preceding a couple of poor efforts; doesn't look as if he's about to get off the mark. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Disappointing favourite when back over hurdles last month but came second in two soft-ground chases in November (2m/2m4f) and will be on the premises if quickly back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won chase debut in February 2025 and back to form with blinkers enlisted when second on last two outings, but all three of those runs were over 2m and there is plenty to prove judged on his attempts at 2m4f/3m; cheekpieces return and their previous usage includes that one win. |
9/1 |

2nd 5 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Took a step forward in a change of headgear when second of eight in handicap over C&D 22 day ago, hindered by a blunder two out; this C&D winner is a likely player if blinkers have the same effect a second time. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Opened his account when winning on chase debut over C&D (soft) last February but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs; overall record is now 1-21 and he needs new headgear to give him a boost. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Just 2-18 over hurdles but looked back in prime form at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) last month, winning 13-runner handicap by 3l, and a subsequent 5lb rise is not excessive. |
9/4 |

1st 11 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not at his best on his two hurdling starts towards end of last year but now 1lb lower than when winning at Ludlow (2m, good) last spring and won't mind what the weather does. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Safely held in two slow-ground handicaps (both 1m7f) for Simon Earle last year and makes stable debut after a six-month absence but improvement is possible if this new trip-and-ground combination suits. |

5th Dec 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 113y Class 5 |

Never threatened last season but ran okay behind talented winners in his last two maidens; one to note in the betting on handicap debut. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Won two of his last three races over hurdles, last time keeping on well to score here (2m, good); these conditions suit and he's quite interesting on chase debut. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Course winner who was in good form until pulled up in 3m Chepstow handicap 19 days ago; he may have found that run coming too quickly so is worth another chance in refitted cheekpieces. |
4/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not always one to rely upon heavily but won at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) last month and stayed on for third (just behind Blue In The West) in big field there (2m7f, good to soft) nine days ago; could have a say. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Returned to form with 4l win here (2m5f, heavy) last month but was safely held when fourth over C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago and is not one to rely upon; others preferred. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Scored at Market Rasen (2m7f) in November and posted another solid effort when third of six in another 2m7f handicap there last month; ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 |
15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Both wins have come here, the latest over this trip (good to soft) in November; may have found the ground too testing when a long way behind Aire Spray back here last month, but others look more solid nonetheless. |
