11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Comfortably justified favouritism over hurdles at Hereford (2m6f, good to soft) in February and was reported to have made a respiratory noise when disappointing at Market Rasen last month; 5lb rise has now kicked in but he's still lightly raced for his age and should have a future at this new discipline. |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

It looked more testing than the official good to soft when he comfortably justified favouritism at Hereford nine days ago (2m5f, good to soft); escapes a penalty but he was ridden by a 10lb claimer that day; this looks a deeper race. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Scored at Market Rasen (2m7f) in November and posted another solid effort when third of six in another 2m7f handicap there last month; ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Both wins have come here, the latest over this trip (good to soft) in November; may have found the ground too testing when a long way behind Aire Spray back here last month, but others look more solid nonetheless. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |

Two good-ground wins during the winter but nothing positive to take from his last two races and the weather forecast doesn't bode well. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Returned from break with good-ground C&D win in October and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) a few weeks later; struggled on heavy ground at Fontwell in December but has been freshened up again since and Sean Bowen keeps the ride; must be considered. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won low-grade 2m AW handicap on latest outing in October but hasn't run over hurdles since 33l defeat on handicap debut at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in February last year, and his profile is somewhat unconvincing. |
12/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Can front-run; 7yo who has had 16 starts, with his sole win coming over this C&D in April 2021; off since below-form third of five at Lingfield (2m, AW) in June and others are preferred. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returns to the AW after another modest effort over hurdles, but was twice runner-up on Polytrack before that; both wins have come on that surface, but he ran well to finish a close third behind Payment Plan over this C&D in November 2024; each-way claims again. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since February last year but was only beaten a head at Plumpton in December 2024 when 11-8 favourite; runner-up on the Flat twice recently so fitness will not be an issue and he must be of interest. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well in fourth at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in January when back from some time off and built on that to go close there (1m6f) four weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Twice second over further in the spring, once from less far out of the weights than she is today; big step backwards with the hood back off last time and it's missing again today. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up on the last two of her eight hurdling starts, more recently behind Lake's Aventurine in five-runner race at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month; can give another good account here but others appeal more all the same. |
