23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Regressive 9yo but ran okay in this new headgear combination last time when rallying into fifth, finishing behind Mojo Ego and Heart Above; that's something to build on; Alan Doyle claimed 5lb that day but can't now. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Regressive 9yo who is yet to add to his C&D win in June 2022; ran well for a long way when placed at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month but was soundly beaten here a fortnight later; cheekpieces refitted today. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-11 over hurdles but the bulk of those wins have come on soft or heavy ground; sits 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (2m, soft; 9-4, four runners) over Christmas; one of three declared runners for Olly Murphy. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |

Progressive 6yo who kept on stoutly to beat three rivals at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and is now 5-10 over hurdles; contests this much deeper race from a 6lb higher mark but still considered. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Signed off over hurdles with victory at Market Rasen (2m2f) and he has shaped well switched to chasing when runner-up in 2m4f handicaps at Uttoxeter and Worcester (winner has gone in again since) this summer; tongue tied now and visor replaces cheekpieces; weighted to go close. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly raced point winner (2m4f, good to soft) who won easily over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in March and was a promising second on last month's chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good), where he was clear with the 10-11 favourite; open to further improvement; firmly in calculations. |

21st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

Modest ability in bumpers and over hurdles; tailed off in two AW Flat starts over shorter than this since joining current stable; the longer trip may help but he probably isn't good enough. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won C&D juvenile hurdle in 2023 and is well handicapped on some of last season's placed efforts but his Flat form in second half of last year was mixed and he fell when back over hurdles in January; others have less to prove. |
8/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won over hurdles in October 2023; modest third on first two Flat starts at the end of the summer; faded to finish seventh switched to AW here on his qualifying run but low-grade handicaps provide him with a much more realistic chance. |
10/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

Won over hurdles in October 2023; switched to the Flat in his last two starts and was a respectable third at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) last time but was beaten 5l in that race and this is much tougher on his AW debut. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Over 6l behind Zephlyn over C&D last May; some fair form since (won over 2m at Wolverhampton in October) but not quite at her best back on turf last twice (over 2m5f and 1m4f); place chance. |
8/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Not at her best over hurdles or here (extended 2m5f) last month; drop in trip can help but others appeal more for win purposes. |

6th 9 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Below her best over hurdles 16 days ago but runner-up on the Flat at Newcastle (2m, AW) last month; consistent in this code last August-October and she's shaped as though this test of stamina could suit; on the shortlist. |

His defeat of Double Oban at Wetherby on Boxing Day now reads really well and he's since finished right on the scene in two visits here; remains on a good mark and has a lot less to prove than many of these; trip/ground ideal. |

Returning from three months off when a close third at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) but offered a lot less at Market Rasen; hard to win with at the best of times. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; cheekpieces replace blinkers and she's a likely player after a break. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Eventually opened account at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April, her 24th hurdling start, and has made the frame on all three subsequent appearances; may find others better handicapped here, though. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beat last weekend's winner Tara Iti at Sedgefield in April (2m1f, good); similar form in finishing second the last twice and although some 13l behind Auntie Maggie in her penultimate race, she has a hefty swing in the weights with that rival; regularly partnered by Joshua Thompson. |
