8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive 9yo who returned from a break with small-field win at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April and also ran well when second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; significant rain will dent his appeal here but otherwise he may still have more improvement to come. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up twice over hurdles in recent weeks, latterly in refitted cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good), but was well beaten in both chases last year and needs to prove he can transfer his recent good form to fences. |

2nd 7 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
On a losing run but he got back on track with second of eight in 2m7f handicap at Bangor five days ago; now needs to back it up. |

2nd 2 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hinted at possible return to form when fourth at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2lb lower than for last summer's win over that C&D but he was soundly beaten at Market Rasen (2m4f) a fortnight ago and now has questions to answer again. |

11st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) in April 2023 and returned to form to win on stable debut at Cartmel (2m6f, heavy) last August; however, two lesser runs have followed and he needs to get back on track after a break. |
