20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
1-13 over hurdles; didn't go unbacked on chase debut when beaten under 4l by Loki's Mischief over 2m5f here recently and he's 7lb better off with the winner; clear claims. |
3/1 |

3rd 5 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Stable debut when winning a 2m4f hurdle here in March (soft) but hasn't built on that, albeit after going up 7lb; remains to be seen what he'll make of fences. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has had just the one win, gained in a French chase back in 2022, and there's little in recent hurdle form to suggest he's about to add to that; 6lb out of the handicap. |
20/1 |

9th 17 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained only win (from 43 starts) in a French chase in 2022 and recent hurdling form does not suggest he's poised to add to his tally. |
50/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a run of non-completions when finishing fifth of seven over C&D last time (Presenting Yeats behind); although that was an improved effort, it did appear to stretch his stamina; much more required again from out of the weights. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Quirky customer who is often reluctant to jump off; won at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April, after a break, and is now back on the same mark, but recent efforts were below that level and he's never easy to predict. |
16/1 |

7th 8 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Has struggled to recapture the form that saw him successful at Stratford (3m2f, good) off 2lb lower in April; not one to dismiss lightly but recent efforts temper enthusiasm. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Has won good-ground handicaps at 3m and 3m2f; hard to dismiss off this mark despite being below par the last twice. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Safely held over C&D in June but that was her first start for seven months and she's now back on the same mark as when winning at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last spring; contender if she comes on from that reappearance run. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Multiple winner in points and under rules but a 12yo now and has offered little in handicap hurdles at Newton Abbot this summer; tongue-tie tried. |
33/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Six point wins, most recently last June; rarely runs over hurdles now and has been well beaten on last two attempts, most recently over C&D in June; often hooded, cheekpieces back on. |
25/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Consistent in points this year without winning, but this represents a much different challenge back over hurdles off top weight; others have more pressing claims. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
His second success over fences came at this track (2m6f, good) last June; has been beaten in hunter chases/points since and makes stable debut; may be better suited by 3m but not out of this. |
2/1 |
|
4th 2 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
18-1 when pulled up in Macklin's race here last month and only third of four runners in subsequent point. |
25/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won Class 4 Stratford handicap (2m6f, good) last June and returned from layoff with creditable second in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that form puts him on the premises here and he stays 3m perfectly well but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Only 1-24 and that win was nearly two years ago; he was in no form earlier this year and plenty depends on whether cheekpieces can trigger something; he's dropped to a good mark. |
9/2 |
|
8th 9 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win came off just 1lb higher in May 2024; some creditable efforts subsequently but his hurdling has often held him back and he's been tailed off all three starts since January. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Progressive 5yo who won three in a row at Newton Abbot in June/July (2m5f-3m2f, good); found things a bit tougher when upped in grade over C&D last time, though, and the ground may turn against him today. |
3/1 |
|

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Improving 5yo who comes here after three consecutive wins at Newton Abbot (2m5f-3m2f, good); hiked up in grade today but the form of his latest success was recently given a boost by the clear runner-up; needs to be taken very seriously. |
15/8 |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Lightly raced point runner-up who won a C&D novice (good) last month in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) and followed up on handicap debut here (3m2f, good); did it readily and has strong claims under 7lb penalty. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Several good efforts in defeat since 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) in June 2024, although his form did dip over C&D last time out; versatile regarding the ground and can be competitive on the earlier runs. |
5/1 |
|
6 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Generally consistent 9yo who has found one too good on his last four starts, including when turned over at short odds latest; still 7lb above last summer's win and, while he should be thereabouts again, he'll likely prove vulnerable to less-exposed rivals for the win. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
26th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Largely consistent 9yo who lost out only by a head in first-time visor at Fontwell (3m2f, good) 19 days ago and again ran well when second over C&D (good) on Tuesday; Chad Bament looks excellent value for his 8lb claim against other conditional riders today; major player. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
0-11 over hurdles but returned from layoff/wind surgery with promising third of seven here (2m5f, good) last month and could have untapped potential over this longer trip; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
7 |
28th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
No wins in 13; has each-way claims on his best form and has undergone wind surgery since last seen; could have a part to play if resuming in good order; 1lb out of the weights. |
