18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who returned from a break with two good-ground wins (2m/2m3f) in June/July; gave another solid account when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month but he didn't fire at Plumpton last time and others are more persuasive. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Resurgent veteran who returned from a break with two good-ground wins in June/July (2m/2m3f); gave another good account when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month but may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who was well below par last time; solid record (112) otherwise this term includes a C&D win (good) in July; may rebound, albeit has more on his plate off current mark. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Probably fortunate when left clear to score at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last month but readily followed up in four-runner C&D (good) contest ten days ago and is evidently in prime form. |
4/5 |

1st 4 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner; proving consistent over fences and carries a penalty for Monday's 20l success at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) where he was left clear at the last; looks sure to put up another bold show, receiving plenty of weight off his rivals. |
2/1 |

1st 4 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who has reached the frame in all of his four chase runs; was no match for A Little Something when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) this month but that was after an absence and he has a big swing in the weights with that rival; could be dangerous. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has been running well under both codes for most of this year and was clear of the rest behind a lightly raced winner at Worcester a month ago (2m7f, good); just 3lb higher. |
2/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three in a row on the Flat in the spring (1m6f-2m) and was placed over hurdles on next two outings (2m/2m2f); has won over 2m7f before and could plausibly still have untapped potential as a stayer over jumps. |
9/2 |

5th 2 (6) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Completed Flat hat-trick when winning by a neck at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) on June 5; solid efforts when third over hurdles the next twice and he has to be respected off a mark just 2lb higher than at Lingfield. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over C&D in June (good to soft) and runner-up to Rory's Story in his only subsequent chase start; however, he was very disappointing over hurdles here on Saturday. |
14/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest chase win on this track (2m1f, good to soft; several wins on good) in June; creditable hurdle run the time before but below best in this sphere subsequently, including over C&D latest; needs revival. |
8/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Only fifth of eight on her return to hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) last month, but despite some iffy jumping she was only caught on the run-in; has dropped to a handy mark and could go well; stable also runs Gerard Mentor. |
14/1 |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Quirky mare who returned from a layoff with a below-par chase run six weeks ago; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others in this field look less risky. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Steady progress since joining this trainer, resuming winning ways over 2m here (good; 7-2, with Malangen third) latest; raised 7lb since, and tackles 2m4f for the first time; noteworthy that Patrick Mullins travels over from Ireland to ride. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Built upon satisfactory stable debut and ran big race before weakening into third at Kelso (2m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; remains on a good mark and should cope with the forecast slower ground here; likely contender. |

3rd 6 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Kempton last April off 2lb higher when trained by Nigel Hawke; ran as if he needed the run when fourth of six finishers at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) 19 days ago on his stable debut after eight months off; sports first-time cheekpieces and has to be of interest. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
66-1 winner on his first Flat start since 2024 when making most to win off 2lb lower in a small field at Salisbury last month; back to his inconsistent self when tailed off at Chepstow next time and it will likely depend on what sort of mood he's in. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
This year's hurdling form is uninspiring but he held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock at Salisbury a fortnight ago, his first Flat run since 2024; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood again here but he's only 2lb higher and this is a slight drop in grade. |
4/1 |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from 32 starts came over hurdles at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) in October but he's been held in three starts since and now returns to the Flat for the first time since June 2024. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won over hurdles off today's mark in 2023 and was placed on the Flat last autumn, but returned from a layoff with a heavy Flat defeat last month and he's tricky to weigh up on this first hurdling start for 603 days; tongue-tie (last used last May) is refitted. |

10st 0lb |
Ridden last six starts by Poppy Wynne, first past the post at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) last July but disqualified for whip offence; solid sequence continued but there may be a question over his readiness today after a break; market may guide. |
