24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from 12-week break with poor run last month and is now 0-7 over fences but was close second off this mark to a dual subsequent winner at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) in March; player if back on song. |

Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) in March having looked the likely winner; leading contender from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort. |

12st 2lb |
Twice a runner-up late last year and came back to some form after some lesser efforts when just over a 3l second to Jongleur d'Etoiles at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) last month; remains competitively treated if backing that up. |

Runner-up twice in a row at Southwell (2m4f/3m, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, he's gone off the boil on his last three runs and has to raise his game. |

Not at her best this term but has dropped to her last winning mark, in December 2024; her second bout of wind surgery needs to have done the trick. |

Won a point and seems to have improved markedly for having fences back in front of her; won a Downpatrick restricted beginners' by 10l and the runner-up won a handicap by the same margin next time; stays farther and plenty to like. |

Debut point and bumper winner was 0-13 over hurdles; sent off favourite for chasing debut here over an extended 2m3f when headed in the final strides; big chance once again up in trip. |

Some decent form when trained in Britain; couple of fair efforts in handicap hurdles since joining this yard, including when fifth of 12 here (2m6f) last time; 99-rated hurdler should be in the mix if she takes to larger obstacles. |

Won 2m6f maiden hurdle at Exeter but minimal impact in handicaps since and fifth of six finishers at Wincanton recently; dam was a 3m-4m chase winner, though, so this second start over fences could offer a way forward. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Bettered low-key stable debut (over hurdles) when second to Passengerontheship over C&D in June and and again ran well when third over C&D (also good) last month; up in grade but remains well handicapped on some of his form for Jamie Snowden (including on soft/heavy ground); likely contender. |

Something to prove regarding current form as he's failed to shine over fences this winter, but he's 1-14 in chases as opposed to 3-10 over hurdles, and perhaps the return to this discipline will trigger a revival. |

27th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capable stayer but has struggled with consistency; finished a 10l fourth at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, a race in which Vision De Maine was pulled up, but that was a laboured effort; handles most ground and has the ability to get involved but comes with risk. |

Won at Exeter in October but has been poor since, including when pulled up and tailed off on two starts this summer; has become well treated and is capable if in the mood, but he's not without risk. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

The consistency of his summer 2024 campaign has long deserted him, the return to the mark of October's Exeter win (2m2f, good to firm) owed to three poor runs since; others convince more. |

Went close in Newton Abbot novice hurdle (2m5f, good) for Paul Nicholls last summer but quickly became very disappointing for him; drying ground might aid his cause on today's stable/chase debut but he has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

Well beaten on his last three starts, the last two being his first handicaps (2m5f, soft); something to prove but he was second in a good-ground 2m5f novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last June, and the return to better ground may help; stamina in pedigree and with leading yard; no forlorn hope. |

0-17 but she was a fair third on her first two starts this year (2m5f/2m3f, soft) then went close off this mark when upped to 3m at Taunton (heavy) last Thursday; also effective on good to soft; she could have more to offer over this sort of trip and is one to consider in first-time cheekpieces. |
