20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f); bounced back from two lacklustre efforts when staying on to go close here (3m1f, good; usual tongue-tie/blinkers left off) on Saturday and remains well handicapped but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again; wears cheekpieces for first time since 2024. |

2nd 9 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f) and has slipped to a dangerous mark but looked out of sorts on both starts here last month (2m5f/3m1f) and now has questions to answer. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Three of his four wins have been here, including in this race off 4lb lower last season; fair run when sixth here in May; disappointing when tailed off here on Friday (2m5f, good) but he twice bounced back last summer after two-day breaks. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Always behind when 50-1 for 2m1f handicap hurdle here (soft) on stable debut in June and now 0-7 over hurdles; moves back up in trip for this chasing debut; not the most obvious answer. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
0-6 over hurdles for Alastair Ralph, and her second at Stratford (2m, good) in April came in a very ordinary mares' maiden; sold for £9,000 last month; needs improvement on stable debut; tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won three times over 3m2f here (always on good ground) during productive campaign last season; needs career-best performance to overcome this rise in grade but returns here after respectable fourth over today's trip at Cartmel (good) last month. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ended last season with two hard-fought wins at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when well-held fourth at Bangor (3m, good) in June but current mark demands a career-best performance and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal. |
12/1 |

4th 5 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Thriving over Sedgefield's extended 3m2f latterly, needing every yard of it last time (good) in order to complete a double; new career-high mark asks a question, and the return to 3m isn't certain to suit. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won by 36l over C&D in July but that race fell apart and he hasn't threatened since, beaten about 14l returned to fences the last twice; could be on a tough mark (that last win was off 12lb lower) but this is weak. |
11/8 |
|
4th 2 |
25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt over fences when strolling home by a wide margin at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but that race took little winning and he was then beaten 8l into third off the same mark back over hurdles at Uttoxeter; seemed to struggle with the 14lb rise when only fifth on his return to fences here on Saturday (2m5f). |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on both starts this year (3m1f/2m3f) and makes no appeal from 10lb out of the handicap. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-66, that a 150-1 shock at Stratford (3m4f) in April 2024; nearly as many letters as numbers in his form figures since January 2025, tailed off (suffered from heat stress) on return to action at Cartmel three weeks ago; competes from 9lb out of the handicap. |
50/1 |

8th 11 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Approaching two years since he last showed any form to speak of, and has a lot to prove from 9lb out of the weights this time. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
No longer the force of old and very inconsistent nowadays but battled well for narrow C&D (soft) win over Judicial Review last month, his fifth course success; also suited by good ground and recent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again. |
7/2 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Four course wins, the latest over C&D in summer 2023; very much on the downgrade now, though, and never really looked dangerous when plugging on for modest third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday. |
