9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice when trained by Chris Down last year; resumes following 293 days off for new trainer; betting will be best guide to his chance. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark at Chepstow (2m3f, good) in April and consistent at up to 2m7f since; unraced beyond that trip but there are some strong stayers on the dam's side of his pedigree so there's a chance he'll improve for the new distance. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Triple hurdle winner (2m2f-2m5f) in 2024 but she's struggled in last six runs and was pulled up here (3m2f) three weeks ago; has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround back in trip. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Triple hurdle winner (2m2f-2m5f) in 2024 but she's struggled in last five starts, including over C&D last month on her penultimate run; has plenty to prove and needs a major revival. |
16/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Triple hurdle winner (2m2f-2m5f) in 2024 but she struggled in her final three runs last year (reportedly bled from the nose on chase debut final time) and did so again when returned to action 18 days ago; now 7lb below her peak mark. |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Best effort this term when second in this grade at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) on penultimate start; on last winning mark so holds a fighting chance from a handicapping perspective. |
8/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Well handicapped and looked booked for a return to winning ways at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) until reeled in late on; strongly considered on the back of that effort. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Back on same mark as Kempton win in May 2024 (3m, good); likely to be all the better for his latest run (first for 290 days); interesting. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won 2m maiden hurdle in March 2024 but an unknown quantity now, having been pulled up in two hurdle runs either side of three non-completions in points; now has a go in headgear. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |

Returns to rules action on the back of three non-completions in points but he has been competitive off this mark in the past and still only a 7yo; could be a surprise package after changing yards. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

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 |
12st 0lb |
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. |
