4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Newton Abbot (2m, good to firm) in August and followed up in another small field at Stratford (2m1f, good), again under Chad Bament; in a better race here but progressive and could play another leading role. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
His good progress since coming back in June includes a commanding win at Newton Abbot (about 2m, good to firm) last Thursday; 6lb rise leaves him on a career-high mark but he's been on the up for over a year now and there's no reason to think his climb up the ladder has halted. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 3-11 over fences and two of those wins were gained over C&D (good/good to soft); held in small-field events in last four starts but he was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last time and he could be dangerous back at this track; stablemate of Gore Point. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race off 1lb lower 12 months ago on stable debut; a market check is advised but he was tailed off on this year's two Flat starts and pulled up on his recent hurdle debut; a major turnaround is needed. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful at around 1m4f on the Flat at his best but ran as though something was amiss on both outings in the spring and it takes a leap of faith to support him on this hurdling debut; blinkers the headgear of choice today. |
6/4 |

11th 3 (6) |
11th May 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Probably acts on Tapeta; won two 1m4f turf handicaps last April/August before his form tapered away; tailed off on reappearance four weeks ago. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten on two of his three stable starts but ran well when third at Worcester (2m4f, good) in between, where he was in front before a last-flight jumping error cost him momentum; sports a first-time visor here and could still come good for Ben Pauling. |
7/2 |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-6 over hurdles but bettered disappointing stable debut when third at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month, where he was in front before a last-flight jumping error cost him momentum; effectively 2lb higher here but could still have a bigger run in him. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled in four novice/maiden hurdles last year and was beaten nearly 33l when 9-4 second favourite for last month's stable/handicap debut; needs significant improvement over this new trip but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper winner in June last year and got off the mark over hurdles at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; looks sure to be suited by this step up in trip and holds claims. |
11/4 |

1st 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who was placed in three good-ground maiden hurdles (2m1f-2m2f) last summer; safely held in Ludlow handicap last month, after a break, but might have needed that outing and remains lightly raced. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 over hurdles and has struggled a little with consistency in the past, with his better efforts coming over further; however, he went close off a similar mark at Hereford (2m3f, good) in November and, despite the drop back in trip and returning from a break, he still warrants respect. |
7/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-11 over hurdles; runner-up on consecutive 2m4f starts this summer but was pulled up (albeit in a competitive series final) last time and is not the most obvious answer to this competitive race. |
33/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Close second to Service Minimum over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month but a lesser effort behind Intosomethinggood followed three weeks ago and he's now 0-10 over hurdles. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has modest 1-11 strike-rate over hurdles and was well beaten when tried in first-time blinkers eight weeks ago; that said, he's now back on same mark as when winning in pretty good style here (2m1f, good) just under a year ago and will be dangerous if back on song in refitted cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

9th 1 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Sedgefield winner in September under Freddie Keighley; that form has some substance but he failed to build on it in a higher grade next time; ran well enough on his return at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in first-time cheekpieces last month and blinkers are now tried, but he remains on a tough mark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Off since below-par run in October but the form of his breakthrough win at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in September worked out quite well; cheekpieces (worn once last summer) are given another whirl; contender if fully tuned up. |
11/2 |
