2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual 2m novice hurdle winner last season but well beaten on handicap debut in April and he's also struggled in two chase runs this winter; still lightly raced and now returns after wind surgery, but likely best watched for now. |
10/1 |

26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Beat all bar a notable rival on hurdles debut; questionable whether he has improved in justifying favouritism twice since, all out at Huntingdon (2m) latest; however, has a smart pedigree and may do better still. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
In decent form when last seen on the Flat for Michael Bell but has been hurdling since December 2024 for this yard; did well as a juvenile in that sphere but last season didn't go well; mark fine if this return to the Flat perks him up. |
20/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on some of last season's form but looked unenthusiastic when never-dangerous fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has become disappointing; needs change of headgear to perk him up. |
8/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lurks on a dangerous mark and his defeat on heavy ground a fortnight ago is not viewed harshly but he's largely been disappointing this season and has stamina to prove over this new trip. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has bits of placed form on Flat and over hurdles, including in C&D contest in April; losing run remains the negative, as he is 0-13 since winning a bumper on debut. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has only won a bumper; placed at about 1m3f at Lingfield (good to firm) and here (heavy) before losing his action and pulling up 17 days ago; should run well if back in good order. |
8/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Bumper winner who was placed on the last two of his five Flat starts, more recently when third in handicap here (11.6f, heavy) ten days ago; could easily have more to offer over today's longer trip; big player. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Dual point winner but has looked very limited under rules; 300-1 when pulled up here 15 days ago; the tongue-tie is new. |
100/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Minor form under rules for Tom Lacey; has since gone 2-7 in points; others are much preferred. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Remains winless over hurdles and he was well held when unseating his rider two out in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 17 days ago; others are much preferred. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Tailed off when 50-1 for 2m7f Worcester handicap last month and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces and drops back in trip here. |
33/1 |

9th 3 |
31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has appeared in two bumpers and five hurdle races, but tailed off on handicap debut in April and got rid of his jockey when the race started at Stratford in June (again 50-1); not seen since and now wears a hood. |
50/1 |
