19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won over C&D and at Warwick (2m) on good ground in May last year but his two runs in cheekpieces this spring were underwhelming and he needs to respond well to a first-time visor. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Last of three wins over hurdles came at Warwick last May off 6lb higher; doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Somewhat resurgent last time and is on a handy mark but perhaps isn't quite ready to strike, having gained last five wins (Flat/hurdles) in the month of May. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won twice on the Flat (1m2f-1m4f) for Ollie Sangster and once over hurdles (2m2f, Kelso) for Rebecca Menzies; beaten 22l and 76l in two starts for new trainer; easing mark isn't enough to recommend. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won at Kelso last May (2m2f, good) when with Rebecca Menzies; well beaten on stable debut last time and perhaps best watched for now. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
1-8 over hurdles, the win gained off 1lb lower mark at Kelso (2m2f, good) in May; disappointed on both recent Flat starts, though, and arrives here with a point to prove. |

7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Back on song in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (3m, good) in March, his third start for Caroline Fryer, and the form of his respectable fourth at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month was well advertised by the winner there on Monday; not yet fully exposed as a stayer; probably won't be far away. |
4/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Returned to peak form in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago, his third start for Caroline Fryer; recent 4lb rise does not look excessive and he also has a course win on his CV; respected. |
7/2 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Two wins last year for Olly Murphy and those were on good ground; beaten 28l and 26l in two runs for current yard, though conditions were soft and good to soft; better can be expected here, though all his notable form is at about 2m4f. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dramatic return to form in taking a 2m5f mares' handicap here last month (good); needs to back that up, but enjoyed passing horses late on that day and she ought to get a chance to do that again in this bigger field. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Made a successful handicap debut at Hereford (2m4f, good) last autumn, but well beaten in both starts since returning last month (underwent wind surgery before latest outing) and is still 7lb higher; has a bit to prove. |

11st 12lb |
Close second of 16 at Taunton (3m, good) in December, after a break, and again ran well in defeat at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January; more exposed than some of these but still respected. |
