29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Badly out of form over fences and on the Flat for the Flint stable this year, and was well beaten in 2m4f Warwick chase for new trainer on Tuesday; needs combination of return to hurdling and refitted cheekpieces to rekindle his enthusiasm. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two-time chase winner but last success in this sphere was in 2022 and he's deteriorated considerably since; has switched yards since his last run and is well treated if new trainer can get a tune out of him. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Two-time chase winner who won off this mark over hurdles here last July; however, he's been well beaten over fences and on the Flat on his four outings this year and needs a major turnaround. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Winner at Market Rasen in June (2m5f, good; first-time hood; three ran); hasn't run as well since, having been pulled up at Newbury on latest chase run and then tailed off on the AW; bit to prove. |
9/1 |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made it 6-17 over fences with his brave win at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; flopped in his follow-up bid at Huntingdon (pulled up) but he's only 1lb higher than for that penultimate run and he won here in the summer; player if he can bounce back. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual chase winner this season, latterly when battling on well at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and has a course hurdle win on his CV; ought to be right in the thick of things. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Pulled up on chasing debut in autumn 2022 and seen only once again since, when pulled up over hurdles for Neil Mulholland last summer; a very tricky horse to weigh up at present but he makes his stable debut from a good mark and with trip/ground suitable; worth a glance in the betting. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdle winner last summer; had to settle for second when well backed for recent chasing debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) but that was his first run for nearly seven months and he was nicely clear of the third; only 1lb higher here and will be hard to beat if combination of refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces has any positive effect. |

Last win was over 2m3f here in May of last year off 6lb higher; not quite hit the same heights this year and has been finishing his races rather tamely. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn and has developed a tendency to finish rather weakly but comes here after two respectable 2m4f thirds this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and continues to edge down the weights. |
3/1 |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted. |

Won twice in 2025, at Musselburgh in January (2m4f, soft) and at Worcester in May (2m4f, good); hasn't done as well since and was pulled up at Stratford last time; could bounce back |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |

Absent since below-par run in December but returned from break with creditable second at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft; stays much further) in November and won when fresh last spring; has travelled from Northumberland for this race and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |

Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester in May; absolute shocker at Warwick (also 2m4f, good) 29 days again, though, beaten 62l with no obvious excuses. |

Well handicapped on form as recent as the winter but needs to better his recent efforts and does not always look wildly enthusiastic; raced mainly on good to soft/soft ground but has won on good; refitted blinkers the headgear of choice today. |
