29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season (once here) but was pulled up on final two starts for him and failed to build upon his satisfactory stable debut when tailed-off third in small-field contest last month (first-time blinkers); sports refitted cheekpieces here; has a point to prove. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season (2m3f/2m5f); left that stable after two disappointing runs in the winter but was respectable fourth for new stable at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May and has possibilities if aided by first-time blinkers here. |

Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season, over C&D (good) last May and in first-time cheekpieces at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in December; pulled up on consecutive outings in the winter but is back on much better ground for this stable debut and it will be very interesting to see what Anthony Honeyball can do with him. |

0-9 over fences but he seemed to respond well to cheekpieces when runner-up on final two starts last season (2m5f/2m4f) and may not have been suited by the drop back to 2m when below form here in May; a possible. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Sole win in 15 starts came over hurdles in France as a 3yo, but he has finished runner-up in four of his six outings since returning to fences last summer; all of those were over further, but he hasn't quite been getting home so the drop in trip looks an interesting move. |

Returned to winning ways in the new visor at Taunton (2m7f, good) but whether he'll follow one good run with another is questionable and he's gone up 6lb. |

Dual chase winner; seemingly back in good nick when second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November but ended 2025 with two non-completions and his record when fresh is not good; others preferred. |

Gave pretty good account when fourth over fences at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in February and should be fine over today's shorter trip, but last month's hurdle run was very disappointing and he's now 0-8 under rules. |

Fair effort over fences here last time (3m1f handicap, good to soft) with the cheekpieces back on and they're retained with an additional tongue-tie, a combination that worked well in points; now tackles his first handicap over hurdles; hard to dismiss. |

Lightly raced and generally very disappointing since winning three consecutive hurdles on good ground in spring 2022 but arguably ran better than bare form suggests on last two outings, and makes chasing debut from another career-low mark; worth a second look. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |

Won twice for Olly Murphy in the autumn and subsequently sold for 5,500gns; hasn't been in the same form in three runs for his current trainer; cheekpieces worn on his last three starts are dispensed with on this step up in trip; still has time on his side but all of a sudden has a bit to prove. |

Won off this mark at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last April and has run well over this C&D; however, she's struggled to get competitive this season and first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt a revival. |

Without a win since 2023 but was placed in three chases last season and continues to edge down the weights; beaten about 20l when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) on latest outing in March but this slightly shorter trip may suit him better; considered each-way. |

Has more wins over fences, most recently at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month under Ciaran O'Shea; failed to fire 20 days later but he's effective in this sphere as shown when a close second at Chepstow in February; yet to win from a mark this high but should be firmly in the mix. |

Often front-runner; ridden by Ciaran O'Shea on last four starts; 7-22 in chases (one of his hurdles wins was this track) and those wins include his last two completed starts in this sphere, the latest at Exeter (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; this trip is unknown territory but he ran well over an extended 3m4f at Stratford in 2024; has to be in serious calculations. |
