29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Progressive over fences in the spring, winning three times on good ground (2m-2m1f); retuned from break with low-key run at Kempton this month but this race is easier and he may still have more improvement to come. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Proved hugely resurgent with easy win at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) last week on third start for new stable, taking chase record to 3-10; well handicapped under a penalty that is partly offset by Lewis Saunders taking off 3lb; future mark 4lb higher; respected. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Dual novice winner over hurdles; paid his way over fences earlier this year (2m-2m4f) but was beaten 21l the last time and now reverts to hurdling off a lower mark (4lb); should be involved. |
5/2 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course novice hurdle winner (good to soft) who won over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May; runner-up over this C&D (good) since and the first and third have both won subsequently; strong claims. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Opened chasing account at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month, despite tending to jump left; moves up from Class 5 today but that recent form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this switch to a left-handed track may enable a better performance. |

Inconsistent but has frame possibilities provided latest effort (ran creditably) is backed up; one of only two runners who already have winning form over fences. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Caused 22-1 surprise at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in January and backed up that performance with keeping-on second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) soon afterwards but her form dipped last month and she needs to rebound. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled when a big-priced outsider at Southwell (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and is now 0-18 over fences; 12lb wrong here; can't be recommended. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

0-17 over fences and winless in well over four years; well beaten again from out of the weights last week and a similar fate likely awaits. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice over hurdles in spring 2021 but has been in the doldrums for a long time; 8lb out of the weights today and very difficult to enthuse over. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Stratford over 2m1f (good) in June and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) in July; ran better than the margin suggests at Worcester in August; suffered a seriously heavy defeat back at Stratford last time, however, while soft ground would raise a further concern. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has emerged from a spell in the wilderness this season and is on a hat-trick after two wins at Stratford (2m1f/2m3f); up another 5lb since last time but must be considered in current form. |
