20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Winner over this trip on good ground at Hereford and Plumpton earlier this year; has failed to finish in three of her last four starts but no surprise if she were to bounce back. |
6/1 |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won four-runner race on chasing debut at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in April; not a great deal has gone to plan since but she ran well before fading into third over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago and may still have some potential over fences. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only one win from 18 runs over fences but he tends to run his race and has plenty of placed efforts to his name; below par when third off this mark over C&D last month and now wears a refitted tongue-tie; could quickly return to form. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 3 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won this race for Alison Thorpe a year ago (good ground; visored) and returned from layoff with close second for new stable at Southwell (3m, good; first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago; strong claims. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
In good form for Alison Thorpe in early part of last season, notably when winning at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good); yet fully to convince stamina-wise at around 3m and has fitness to prove on this stable debut (same owners) but Sean Bowen (who has won on him before) is booked; swaps visor for first-time blinkers. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Returned from break in career-best form over fences this spring and subsequently exploited her novice hurdle status at Hexham (2m, good), albeit unimpressive in justifying skinny odds; suited by fast ground and features prominently in calculations. |
9/4 |
|
1st 9 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner and rated higher in that sphere; however, she is 2-14 over hurdles and has been found a good opportunity to add another success as she goes unpenalised for her wins in junior hurdles; the one to beat on these terms. |
4/7 |
|
2nd 7 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made all in three-runner mares' chase at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last month and is now 4-8 over fences; faces tougher task from 3lb out of the weights here but is evidently in good nick, and new jockey Isabelle Ryder claims 5lb. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f course winner in early part of last season; returned from five-month break with low-key run here 18 days ago but is versatile regarding ground and his current mark is workable; can feature if that recent outing brought him on. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All of his three victories have been at Fontwell including two chase wins over an extended 2m5f (good to soft); beaten 9l when runner-up here in December but that was behind an improver and he's still lightly raced in this sphere; respected back in trip on his return. |
13/2 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Course hurdle winner last summer (2m1f, good), having made most of the running; held up in rear and never looked dangerous when fourth of six on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (2m3f, good) but that was his first run since the autumn and a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light here. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Good-ground winner off 6lb lower last season and mostly running well this campaign over hurdles and fences; latest run in a handicap chase needs forgiving but couldn't rule out. |
5/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Stuck to her task pretty well at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month and has now finished second on two of her last three starts but the forecast rain is probably not helpful here; tongue-tie left off today. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Didn't really fire at Stratford last month and now 0-4 over fences but that run came just one week after a pretty good second there (2m3f, good to firm) and she's had a longer break this time; a possible. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up in two chases this season, after a layoff, and soundly beaten when back over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces three weeks ago; very well handicapped on old form but current ability is hard to gauge. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced since maiden hurdle win in early 2023 and his pulled-up runs this year, when back from another lengthy layoff, don't recommend for this; cheekpieces added; major turnaround a must. |
16/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Southwell winner over hurdles in 2023 (2m, good to soft); best of his three chase runs was when third over C&D in July 2024 (good to firm); hung left and was pulled up on return from a 325-day break at Worcester in May; bit to prove now. |
