9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to win over fences, but creditable second at Wetherby in March (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces tried); has had wind surgery since fair fourth at Carlisle last month (3m, good; blinkers on); tongue-tie plus cheekpieces this time; chance. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Improved on first chase run when second of four at Wetherby last time (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces first time, wasn't fluent); blinkers now tried; quite interesting. |

2nd 2 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Beaten 13l when fifth of 11 on last month's chase debut at Chepstow (2m7f, soft); however, that performance gives this two-time hurdle winner something to build on and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will help. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Placed lots of times over hurdles but won only once in 24 attempts; hasn't been close to his best this season and he's not bred for fences. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-23 over hurdles, the win gained in 2023; out of form at around 2m this season but this longer trip might suit him better now and he has slipped to a very good mark; worth a glance in the betting. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden but he returned to form when third in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) under Osian Radford at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; also effective on soft ground; has the same mark as last time and he's a leading player if backing up that latest run. |

31st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts but shaped quite well before fading at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft; first run after wind op) last month, and may benefit from combination of drop back in trip and first-time tongue-tie here. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Displayed significant improvement to win in good style at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft; well backed) in February 2025, her sixth start over hurdles; could quite plausibly have more to offer but this is her first run since; market instructive. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-Dan Skelton; several good runs for Rebecca Menzies last season, including when third at Kelso on latest start in November (3m, soft); just as effective on this better ground; each-way chance. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 |
18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Left Dan Skelton after winning at Stratford (2m2f, good; from 7lb lower) in July; visored at Wetherby (2m5f-3m) on last two starts when thereabouts from the front, without fully seeing out his race; ground conditions softer than ideal but he looks a player. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper/handicap winner; up and down profile but made the frame in a first-time visor over 3m here recently and shouldn't mind dropping back in trip; bit to find with Belladinotte who was second in that race. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
0-12; has run the occasional good race in defeat and her debut for this yard when backed into 7-2 favourite at Killarney (2m7f, yielding) wasn't a bad effort; not discounted. |
9/1 |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-16 and has tried fences; kept plodding on when a 10l fourth in 2m4f hurdle at Southwell and she's worth another go over this far. |
5/1 |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Now 0-15 under rules after twice finishing tailed off over fences; was second over hurdles at Leicester in November when 7lb higher so can't be ruled out with a tongue-tie joining cheekpieces, especially with Sean Bowen up top. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day. |
8/1 |

10th 2 |
27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Heavy-ground winner here in late 2023 and this year has added two Bangor handicaps on good to soft and good; only 4lb higher than for the latest (by a length) and the front two were clear. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored over 2m3f here (good to soft) in April and was close second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) the following month; disappointed when last in action but, if back on song, could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Flat winner over two years ago; the odd piece of form over hurdles offers hope but current wellbeing is a big issue. |
16/1 |

3 (10) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 8lb |
Placed off lowly mark over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces in March but is very inconsistent in that sphere and has not run on the Flat since 2023 (albeit did win over C&D in that year); not the percentage call. |

In a consistent run of form when last seen in November, mostly hooded but also in just a tongue-tie last time; this mark is very manageable but he does lack a recent run. |

Has been in fine fettle since joining current yard in the summer with four wins in handicaps; incurs 12lb penalty here partially offset by Luke Scott's 3lb claim; should be hard to beat at this level. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Bath/fast ground specialist who wasn't too far away from landing a fifth win at that track when runner-up (1m2f) last Wednesday on his return from a break; effective elsewhere too and should go well. |

2nd 3 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Four-time C&D winner who returns here off a workable mark; on the downside, he's been absent for four months and doesn't have a convincing record when fresh. |
8/1 |

6th 1 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time turf winner who scored off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) in August but he's been out of sorts on the Flat and over hurdles in last three starts; has something to prove back in this sphere as he's 0-10 on AW; tongue-tie removed. |
