30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

10st 10lb |
Hasn't won for nearly three years but he's often placed and was only just denied over 2m1f here in June, though he has to be forgiven a below-par run when well behind Stinginhisstep over C&D last month; could place again, with Brian Hughes taking over from a claimer, if back on song. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Went down fighting when beaten a head off today's mark here (2m1f, good) last month, his second run after a layoff, and will be fine over today's longer trip; featured prominently in calculations. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
C&D winner (2022, no win since) who was second twice here last summer; shaped as though the run might have been needed when finishing sixth of ten on reappearance over C&D (good) 20 days ago; on a competitive mark and likely to be all the sharper for that. |

12st 0lb |
Consistent 7yo who has finished second under James Robottom twice since returned to hurdling in March, more recently at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; still unexposed over this sort of trip and likely to be on the premises again. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Veteran with modest strike-rate in recent years; only beaten about 1l when fourth of seven here (2m1f, good) last month, after a break, and remains on a good mark but younger rivals appeal more all the same. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Seven-time hurdle winner; produced his best effort last season when narrowly denied at Exeter (2m2f, good) in October, but was well beaten next time and was pulled up in November on his final start; returns from 224 days off with something to prove. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Poor over hurdles in Ireland but won a small-field maiden point (3m, good to firm) in April, ridden by Aimee Jones and beating two next-time-out winners, but subsequent placed efforts have been modest; now faces a very different test back over hurdles and down significantly in trip on stable debut. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time course winner, all on good ground (2m1f-2m2f); left behind a couple of poor efforts earlier in the year when a respectable fourth over 2m5f here in May but refused to line up when withdrawn here three weeks ago; well handicapped on old form and hard to dismiss if in the mood. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Six-time course winner on good ground (2m1f-2m2f); woeful in two starts away from this track in the spring but he'd dropped to a dangerous mark when a respectable fourth here (about 2m5f, good; winner's won since) last month; will appreciate a strong gallop on this drop back in trip and can rarely be ruled out here. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Useful hurdler/chaser in his prime but he's been pulled up on both starts for another yard in France since returning from a long absence; has returned to Sophie Leech but has plenty to prove, for all that he's become very well handicapped if retaining any of his old ability. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well down the pecking order in his top yard but opened his hurdles account in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good; beat a subsequent scorer) most recently and may build on that solid success; respected. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Quite useful on the Flat in France last year; 0-7 and generally disappointing over hurdles but the form of his close third at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) two starts ago reads quite well, and his top trainer has an excellent strike-rate (6-14) with his occasional Sedgefield runners. |
