3rd 2 |
13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Can be a bit in and out but he stuck to his task and just got the better of Le Galli Bier for second last time at Plumpton (2m4f, soft); however, the winner left both behind and this 9yo is off the same mark. |
8/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rather in and out since winning at Fontwell in December 2024, but he was in the process of running one of his better races when falling at the second last at Lingfield (2m4f, heavy) 18 days ago; likely to play a part if none the worse for that experience. |
4/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Seemed to find 2m7f too taxing here last month but had arguably been fortunate to escape with just a small nudge up the weights for his clear second at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve, and this drop back in trip looks the right move. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Sole success over hurdles came in January 2024 when trained by Archie Watson; she has offered little in three runs for current yard and it's easy to look elsewhere. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence and offered little in two runs for her new handler, pulled up in 2m4f handicap at Leicester in January; now tongue tied first time; easy to look elsewhere. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Left Archie Watson after string of disappointing runs last season and dropped out very tamely on last month's stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft); needs to turn a corner. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made the frame twice in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) but was well beaten at Cartmel three months ago with no obvious excuse; just two wins from 45 attempts over hurdles and he's fully exposed. |
10/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has very modest 2-44 strike-rate over hurdles but made the frame on both starts in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) and is suited by this C&D; won't mind what the weather does; probably won't be far away. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |
5/1 |

2nd 10 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gave very good account when close second over C&D (good to soft) last month and subsequent fifth of 12 over C&D (good) was perfectly respectable but his overall strike-rate is just 1-35 and others appeal more. |
5/1 |
|
5th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-34 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he went very close to a second course success 16 days ago, going down by only a head over this trip on good to soft; another who could be involved in the finish. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Just 1-33 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he gave a good account when second from out of the weights at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month, after a break; could have a say. |
