12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled last season on final three runs for the Newland/Insole yard; however, he won off 4lb higher at Bangor (2m4f, good) last April so has a handy mark to work with if a change of scenery has prompted a revival; new yard is enjoying a good month; remains in the same ownership. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won off 1lb lower at Bangor (2m4f, good; also suited by soft) last Apri but has suffered three non-completions since then and was well beaten when he did get round; clearly capable of a big run but comes with a good few risks. |
12/1 |

Pulled up in two of his four chases but first and second in the other two, with the win coming in a small field over C&D (good); this looks a better race. |

11st 8lb |
Ran well in two of his three chases in 2022-23 season, most notably when second at Warwick (3m1f, good to soft); not easy to weigh up after 674-day absence but should cope with this drop back in trip and has been given a chance by the handicapper; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive in handicap chases last spring for Warren Greatrex (2m2f/2m3f, good/soft) and last month's third on stable debut in a hunter chase at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft), after an absence, can be upgraded as he hung left at that right-handed track; has plenty to find but this 7yo is very lightly raced and, now going left-handed, could go well at sizeable odds. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who opened account for Warren Greatrex with front-running success in Ffos Las handicap (2m3f, soft) last April; changed hands for £82,000 the following month and now makes his stable/hunter chase debut; could be hard to beat if fully tuned up. |
9/4 |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |

Still early days over fences and under rules; returning from a wind operation when runner-up at Fontwell (2m2f, good) and he stays this longer trip; in the mix. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

Yet to win over fences; fair run having had a wind op at Doncaster last time (3m, soft) and could go well off his current good mark. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last May and runs off 8lb lower today; however, he struggled on his four starts towards the end of last year; major turnaround required on first run since wind surgery. |
11/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Stuck to his task very well when second at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in May but that took his record over fences to 0-7 and he may find this race too competitive; returns without the cheekpieces worn in his three previous races. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Kept on well to score here (2m1f, good) on Saturday, getting off the mark over fences at the 20th attempt; has 7lb penalty to shoulder today but the longer trip and likely slower ground will both be in his favour. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
0-19 over fences; went close here (2m5f, heavy) last summer and is now 5lb below that mark but his recent efforts have been disappointing and he might find 2m1f on good ground an inadequate stamina test. |

11st 1lb |
11-race maiden who signed off for James Ewart with two poor runs in headgear (now removed) in February/March; makes stable debut from a tempting mark but needs to have been revitalised by his new regime and is untested on ground this quick. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden; fair third over 1m7f at Hexham in April (heavy); subsequently had wind surgery and hasn't run as well since, last time with cheekpieces tried; blinkers on this time and also up in trip (first run at 3m); improvement needed. |

C&D winner in May on his second start for James Owen and was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races; now on a recovery mission. |

3rd 2 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations. |
4/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Looked a hard ride when second at Bangor (3m, good) but travelled sweeter with the blinkers back on at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) and just missed out; nudged up another 3lb but has to be respected. |
