22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut over C&D (good) last July but he's struggled since, including when pulled up on chase debut at Wetherby in March; overall record is now 0-9 and he has plenty to prove after a short break; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden whose hurdles form has dipped since a consistent spell; however, this combination of a switch to fences and first-time headgear may have a positive effect; bred to make a chaser. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) last summer but returned from break with two lesser efforts towards end of last year; off for another three months since and needs to get career back on track. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Unlucky not to win three in a row over 2m4f in the spring (good to firm-good to soft); had to settle for fourth when warm favourite to add to her tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but that certainly wasn't a bad run and she remains open to further progress; respected. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Would have won at Southwell last month had she not come down at the last and successful on either side of that, doing it comfortably here last time under positive tactics; has to take an 8lb rise on the chin but looks progressive. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Has seemingly come on plenty for taking the best part of a year off as she made a winning return at Sedgefield in May and had plenty in hand when taking quite a heavy fall at the last at Southwell (2m4f; good) on Monday; needs to be none the worse on this very quick return. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Stuck on a lengthy losing run and was well behind Boskill Borden here 12 days ago; the first-time tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Struggling before minor late gains at Market Rasen latest (2m5f, good) extended his losing run to 20; first drop into a 0-105 since July 2022 isn't sufficient on its own to persuade this is the day. |

Useful back in the day but has lost his way under both codes and is very opposable at the minute. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Flat-bred, but one half-brother has won three chases; trail has gone cold since the summer's pair of Worcester 2m4f handicap hurdle frame finishes (good), and moderate results last time cheekpieces were tried. |
16/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by change of headgear when making the frame in consecutive 2m4f handicaps at Worcester this summer but his run there last time was disappointing and it's now over two years since his only win; drops back in trip today; others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win came in Ireland nearly two years ago; delivered two good front-running shifts since the visor went on, both here at this trip; unlikely to be far away. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Won off 4lb lower at Worcester (2m7f, good) last August under usual rider Eleanor Williams but out of form since; needs to be back to his peak. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) last August and he's versatile ground-wise; however, he hasn't shone over fences/hurdles on his two starts since and needs to get back on track. |

Came good with clear C&D (good) success last month, her ninth hurdling start; effectively 7lb higher today if Freddie Keighley's reduced claim is considered but could quite plausibly build upon that winning performance. |
