21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won readily at Worcester (2m4f, good) last spring and is still lightly raced over fences but her subsequent three runs (latest was over hurdles) were disappointing and she's 2lb wrong on first outing since December. |

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. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning. |
5/2 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
All four chase wins have come over shorter distances but this far is worth a go; ran quite well after a break at Fontwell and when beaten 27l into second here last time he was going well when clouting four out. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has four wins over fences, including over C&D; encouraging fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) on his return last month following a five-month break but he's 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Badly hampered and (latest, behind Calli Black) set a bit much to do from rear in the two lesser runs which bookend last month's fine Uttoxeter second to a now 112-rated rival (2m5f, good); remains of interest. |

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

Only a 6yo and was clear of the rest when second to a rejuvenated winner at Uttoxeter last month (2m5f, good); chance. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Sole win over hurdles came with similar trip and ground, and she showed she'll be just as effective over fences when third of seven at Haydock (kept on again after being badly hampered) four weeks ago; the youngest in the line-up and commands major respect. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gave very good account when close second over C&D (good to soft) last month and subsequent fifth of 12 over C&D (good) was perfectly respectable but his overall strike-rate is just 1-35 and others appeal more. |
5/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-34 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he went very close to a second course success 16 days ago, going down by only a head over this trip on good to soft; another who could be involved in the finish. |
5/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Just 1-33 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he gave a good account when second from out of the weights at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month, after a break; could have a say. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C&D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Veteran who has won three times over fences since December including at Plumpton (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; that was in a small field and his main rival made a bad mistake at the last but he still looks feasibly treated and is versatile ground-wise; respected. |
5/1 |

1st 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |

Reliable sort who scored at Leicester (2m4f) in March; not discredited when fifth in 2m5f handicap chase at Newton Abbot 15 days ago so ought to be in the shake-up eased 1lb. |

2m5f good-ground winner last summer off 6lb higher; hardly consistent though and never went a yard at Warwick last month; now tries cheekpieces. |

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

Scored at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last June and was in contention before penultimate-fence fall at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in December but last season's record was rather mixed and we haven't seen him since a poor performance in January. |

21st May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Pulled up on heavy ground on two of last three appearances but between those he ran a big race when third on good ground at Chepstow (2m3f); back on a sound surface today and only 2lb higher than when landing this prize in 2024; respected. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Did not take to chasing this spring (two attempts) and now reverts to hurdling; quite well handicapped if judged on his two Taunton runs (2m/2m3f) towards end of last season; not ruled out. |

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

2m4f point winner; never really threatened to win over hurdles and the same again on recent chase debut; needs a lift from cheekpieces. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Maiden under rules but he did keep galloping on his final two runs over hurdles, at 2m and 2m3f; pedigree points to improvement over fences. |
