3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner in 2024; returned from one-year absence with low-key hurdle run for new stable in July but shaped with a lot more promise at Perth last month and should now be at concert pitch for this return to fences. |
10/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles after a year off and he's likely to be back chasing (dual winner) sooner rather than later. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
0-16 but this 6yo has finished second on two of his last three hurdle starts, most recently at Kelso in September; mid-race unseat on chase debut since; each-way chance back hurdling. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Shaped okay at massive odds (never-nearer third, 150-1) on last visit to Plumpton in December 2024; occupied same position when last in action at Cartmel (2m1f, good; beaten under 10l) last July; easing mark, with Charlie Maggs taking over in saddle. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Ridden by Izzie Hill last seven starts; well beaten in his first two handicaps; back to form when 25-1 fifth of seven at Worcester (2m, good) on third attempt but needs to build on that. |
9/1 |

5th 4 |
18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Placed at triple-digit odds in Plumpton novice (2m, good to soft) in December but well beaten in both handicaps this year (2m3f/2m); not the most obvious answer. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
10yo who snapped a losing sequence at Carlisle last June and reappeared with a good second here (1m6f, good) last month; she should be fine back up in trip and can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner at up to this trip on varying ground, including soft; back on the same mark she scored from at Carlisle (1m6f, soft) in June; chance rests on whether she's ready to roll for this reappearance. |
8/1 |
|
10th 2 (1) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m6f on varying ground, including soft; 1lb higher than her latest success at Carlisle in June; thereabouts over 1m6f (good) here latest but still has to prove she fully sees out this longer trip. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |
16/1 |

6th 2 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made all over 2m1f here (good) last July and came second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); probably needed recent reappearance run and has a big role to play if back on song. |
5/1 |
|
12th 3 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Three sound efforts on last three starts last summer (good/soft), winning over 2m1f at Cartmel and finishing creditable second over 3m there on final start; off for 252 days and likely to be better for the run. |

20-race maiden under both codes and did plenty wrong when pulled up last time at Warwick (2m5f); opposable. |
12/1 |
|
8 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Yet to get her head in front after 12 attempts and recent efforts don't suggest she's about to make that breakthrough here, despite a 2lb easing of his mark. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden who made it 0-11 over hurdles when a well-held fourth in Ffos Las handicap (2m4f, good to soft; 25-1) ten days ago; others preferred. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Uttoxeter in October and good third at Newcastle later that month; however, he's been well beaten on his last two starts and needs to turn things around now in blinkers; cheekpieces were given a go last time. |

3rd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Winless after 26 hurdle starts and although he often runs respectably at the right level, he has no realistic chance against rivals who mostly would be giving him plenty of weight in a handicap. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Bits of promise before he won a seven-runner novice contest at Bangor (2m, good) six weeks ago in his fourth handicap, in clearcut style despite interference and being 4lb out of the handicap proper; had wind surgery one week later; up 7lb today but the chief concern is that he was soundly beaten in all five starts on softer than good. |
5/2 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Shaped well before fading into fifth in two Market Rasen handicaps (both 2m4f, good) last summer and may not have been suited by the soft ground when a disappointing favourite at Sedgefield in January; returns from another break and is 4lb wrong today but still considered. |

0-19 and she was last to finish in a 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen last month; others more persuasive. |

8th 11 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Struggled to get competitive in second half of last year and returns from break with overall strike-rate standing at 0-35; 4lb wrong; overlooked. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

0-18 over hurdles and 0-17 on the Flat; pulled up in C&D maiden in December and makes no significant appeal from 2b out of the weights on handicap return. |
