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 |

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. |

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. |

Unable to land a telling blow when remote fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in September but remains unexposed over hurdles and is worth a check in the betting. |

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. |
