27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up on his only previous run here and returns on the back of a third chase win, gained at Catterick in December (1m7f, good to soft; fine on good); if fit enough then he should be competitive off a fair mark. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has been in good form over fences this year, winning two handicaps at Market Rasen and being placed six times, the latest a third off 5lb higher at Sedgefield; hard to know how he will fare on this return to hurdling (well beaten off a 10lb lower mark on his last run over hurdles). |

10st 9lb |
Well supported when landing his second C&D success (good to soft) on his stable debut ten days ago following a five-month break; 8lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in again. |

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. |

Good-ground winner off 6lb lower last season and mostly running well this campaign over hurdles and fences; latest run in a handicap chase needs forgiving but couldn't rule out. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Stuck to her task pretty well at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month and has now finished second on two of her last three starts but the forecast rain is probably not helpful here; tongue-tie left off today. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Didn't really fire at Stratford last month and now 0-4 over fences but that run came just one week after a pretty good second there (2m3f, good to firm) and she's had a longer break this time; a possible. |

The last of his Flat wins was in 2021; poor hurdler and don't see him making a better chaser; out of the weights. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up on only start pointing in Ireland in February last year (3m, yielding); modest efforts over hurdles and well beaten on chase debut at Market Rasen this month; unexposed and a possible improver; cheekpieces now tried; bit to prove. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Finished second in a point but modest form under rules, including when 28-1 for handicap debut in March (2m3f, good to soft); has a lot to find but perhaps fences will be the making of him. |

Ran a tad better in his second handicap hurdle last time at Stratford (2m2f, good) and the runner-up made all there on Saturday evening; dropped 4lb and might have a say if taking to fences. |

Showed no significant promise in his four qualifying races (2m-2m1f) but remains very unexposed and is worth a glance in the betting before today's handicap debut. |
