7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Low-mileage 11yo who ran well for a long way when upped to 2m7f and fitted with cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (good) in June, his only start this year; 3lb lower here; shortlisted. |

5th 7 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Unbeaten in bumpers (2-2) and very lightly raced for his age; won a hurdle handicap at Doncaster (2m4f, good to soft) in December 2024 but he's had only two runs since and has struggled in both; has something to prove after another absence and he needs first-time cheekpieces to work. |

30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent gelding who won by a comfortable 3l at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft; won on good) last time and the runner-up has since filled the same berth at Newbury; this 7yo was ideally positioned that day in what developed into a sprint finish but a 5lb rise could have been worse; Murray Dodd rides again claiming his 7lb. |
9/4 |

1st 2 |
4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Mostly consistent in his six runs for Stuart Edmunds, winning twice (2m4f/2m7f); a well-held third over C&D last month but Murray Dodd takes off 7lb and drying conditions are a further bonus. |
6/1 |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has won two of his five starts since returning to rules action in September, the latest by a wide margin at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft); a 10lb rise asks questions of him but he's strongly considered. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in December; however, beaten 20l in fifth when upped in grade at Haydock (2m, good to soft) last month and remains in Class 3 company today; a career-best is required. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |

Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and some good runs since, most recently close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) after a break; however, a career-best is needed now back up in grade. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles in the summer and has slipped to an attractive Flat mark but looked out of sorts when tailed off on last two appearances; leap of faith required to support him. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner off 1lb higher in March 2025; landed a minor handicap hurdle at Stratford in July but he has since finished tailed off in a Class 2 handicap at Glorious Goodwood (extended 2m4f); others look safer. |
12/1 |

14th 10 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat this year, for instance 11th to Believitanducan in the Northumberland Vase last month; not proven beyond 2m in this sphere but he switched back to hurdles for a 2m6f win at Stratford 12 days ago, which might give some renewed hope. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten a combined 70l in two soft-ground starts over fences but he won his third hurdle race when picking up a 12-runner Ffos Las handicap (2m, good) off this mark nine days ago; 5lb well in on handicap marks if he can transfer that form to chasing and there should be no ground excuses this time. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Well treated if going back far enough but achieved little for current yard, over hurdles and fences; finished last of three on final run. |

3rd 3 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well treated on best hurdles form but his record for current yard leaves a lot to be desired; switch to fences made no difference last time; the weakest contender. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |

Won twice over hurdles at Uttoxeter; yet to show the same level of form over fences in four starts but has come down in the weights and is dropped in grade; no forlorn hope. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins over hurdles at Uttoxeter, on good and good to soft; has mostly steered clear of slower ground and he's been no closer than 17l in three runs over fences. |
10/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Both hurdle wins at Uttoxeter, the latest a 2m4f handicap which never looked in doubt; raised 6lb and a 7lb claimer rode last time, but his trainer sees him as more of a chaser; considered. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Returned from long absence with two hurdling seconds this spring (visored) and filled same position behind Kingofthegame in C&D chase three weeks ago (good; first-time blinkers); not yet exposed over fences; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
13-race maiden; pulled up on only chase start, in February 2025 (2m2f, soft); comes here having run fair races over hurdles with a visor on last two starts; a possible back chasing with blinkers now tried. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
6yo maiden who ran well, one place in front of Les's Destiny Star, in first-time visor over C&D (good to soft) last month on debut for new stable and return from lengthy layoff; likely player provided that effort is backed up and the bounce is avoided. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Seemingly on the downgrade now but has posted two good efforts over 2m7f here (good) this summer and might benefit from this drop back in trip. |
9/2 |

5th 15 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Last won at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in May 2025; while not so good over the last year, he has gone down the weights and third of six to The Great Escape over C&D (his first run beyond 2m5f) last time gives him a place chance. |
