22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in December and continued to run well when upped in trip the next twice (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft); also effective on good ground; this unexposed 6yo holds each-way claims once more. |

17th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Just a respectable third on chasing debut at Stratford (2m1f, good) in June but he is 7lb lower now and reverts to fences after two good hurdle runs at Sedgefield; strong contender. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Scored over C&D (good) off 5lb lower last summer; not seen over hurdles since placed at Sedgefield in December, though, and has not been firing on all cylinders on the Flat this year; others preferred. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

Overall record (Flat/hurdles) is 4-30; hasn't won under this code for over two years but ran encouragingly in deeper field at York (1m4f) most recently; on an attractive mark. |

Ended 2024 in reasonable form under both codes but he was below par on last month's reappearance; others are more obvious. |

Six wins last summer/autumn included two novice handicaps here (2m1f-2m2f, good); remains above any mark ever defied, but equalled career-best RPR in defeat at his beloved Sedgefield latest; respected. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |

Bumper/hurdle winner; still relatively early days with this yard and not beaten too far in either run following a break; on a competitive mark. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with Mark Walford all that long and returned from break with respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) this month; ought to cope if the ground eases here; shortlisted. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Four-time C&D winner, latest win coming off a 9lb higher mark in July 2024 (good); hasn't run up to his best in four starts this year but on a good mark now; no surprise if he were to stage a revival. |

Placed in slowly run Stratford novice (2m, good to firm) in July and reportedly lost her action when pulled up on handicap debut there later that month; not one of her stable's stars but remains unexposed. |
