11st 4lb |
Much improved on his third start when staying on well for third at Wincanton 13 months ago (2m5f, soft) and he was just behind the smart Lord Of Thunder that day; strong claims if returning in the same form. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up three consecutive times since going close in maiden hurdle here (2m4f, good to soft) last December and has a lot to prove on this seasonal/chase debut, but had a wind op during the summer and Paul Nicholls is persisting with him. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
0-5 in Irish points; placed in his two bumpers and off the mark in a maiden at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in February on third start over hurdles; fair third of six to Burrows Hall on handicap debut at Doncaster (3m, good) last month but needs markedly better than that with his mark unchanged. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who launched chasing career with two good efforts, latterly when second to Felton Bellevue over C&D (soft) in February; ran in snatches and was disappointing over hurdles here a fortnight ago but might travel better in first-time cheekpieces today and could still have potential over fences. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced maiden over hurdles who has showed improved form since switched to fences on last two starts; not yet fully exposed and reverts to hurdles off what may prove to be a workable mark. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Still to get her head in front but she's made a positive start for Adam Nicol this term, runner-up to Cosmic Soul over C&D 13 days ago; she enjoys a 9lb pull in the weights now so this keen-going sort is a player. |
4/1 |

2nd 10 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-11 but she's run okay on two of her three starts for this yard (2m5f/2m4f, good/good to soft; including here) and continues to edge down the weights; not ruled out each-way. |
9/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ex-Nigel Hawke; creditable fourth in Sedgefield handicap (2m5f, good; 11-5 favourite) on stable debut in November and she may not have handled the heavy ground at Ayr (sixth of eight) last month; record is now 0-10 but she could be dangerous if she can bounce back near best. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in January but 3-3 since switched to fences with tongue-tie/cheekpieces fitted this spring, with all three wins gained over C&D on good ground; comfortably pulled 10l clear of Summer In Milan 16 days ago and his latest 11lb rise is partially offset by Freddie Mitchell's useful 5lb claim today; makes obvious appeal. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won four times over fences last spring/summer but was beaten 25l at Lingfield (2m, good) when last seen in November; has had wind surgery since and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; must hold claims from good yard if ready to roll. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Mark took a hit for winning four of his first five races over fences (all handicaps) and was beaten 13l and 21l in his last two with cheekpieces fitted; those aids are now removed and he's only 2lb higher than for his last win, so hard to dismiss. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

4-6 since switched to fences (2m-2m2f, all on good) this season (three over C&D); showed no improvement for the application of first-time cheekpieces (retained) when sixth of nine finishers over C&D (good) last month and it may well be that the handicapper has caught up with him. |
