26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
0-5 over fences but looked suited by the drop back in trip and gave very good account when second of ten over C&D (good) in June; player off same mark if still in same form after 111-day break. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won a 2m5f hurdle for former yard; good runs for this one in both disciplines but tailed off in his last three races, all handicap chases at about 3m. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 0lb |
Won first four races for this stable at around this trip and ran well again here at Christmas when third to Duke Silver, having made most; blinkers now replace cheekpieces but has it to do from 5lb out of handicap, and ideally may want better ground. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Made all off today's mark over C&D (good) in spring 2024 and ran well in defeat over C&D this April; sure to be suited by the return to this track but has quite a bit to prove after three disappointing efforts. |
8/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained sole success over 3m so may not be crying out for this drop back in distance and he has a question mark over current form anyway; cheekpieces added. |
16/1 |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Ran poorly on chasing debut at Southwell and needs to bounce back from that but was clear second over hurdles there (3m, good) two starts ago and is a big player if judged on that performance. |

Irish point winner in March 2024 (3m, heavy); 16-race maiden under rules; runner-up in two handicap chases at Catterick on last two starts (3m1f, soft/good to soft), on both occasions being beaten by an in-form rival who has won again since; interesting contender. |

Last seen pulling up in a point just under 12 months ago; has won five times in that scene but he's shown modest form in five runs over regulation fences, all of those hunter chases. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Modest form over jumps so far and has been pulled up on last three chase starts; can only watch from 9lb out of the weights. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
14-race maiden who has no worthwhile form over jumps and was pulled up on his last two appearances; can't be recommended from out of the weights. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Winning pointer who was making it 17th-time lucky under rules when beating Zoffalee over C&D (good) nine days ago; 1lb wrong there so 6lb higher under his penalty, but even so with conditions likely to be similar he has to make the shortlist. |
8/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On a good mark and the signs were more encouraging when fourth over 2m7f at Worcester three weeks ago (behind McGregors Charge); seems to be running into form after an absence. |
12/1 |
|
14 |
25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win remains a dead-heat in a Welsh maiden point in 2022, but second in this race in 2023 and there was some encouragement to take from this month's Warwick fourth on his second outing following a sizeable layoff. |
