11st 8lb |
Four-times winning hurdler making a belated debut over fences after six-month break; hard to fancy unless there is a move in the market. |

3-6 since returning from long absence for new stable this spring; only fourth off today's mark at Worcester (2m, good) last month but possibly had a bit too much use made of him there; remains very much of interest. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in May on first two starts for this yard (2m, good) and back to winning ways at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) four weeks ago; did it readily last time and a 7lb rise may not stop him today. |

12st 0lb |
Consistent 7yo who has finished second under James Robottom twice since returned to hurdling in March, more recently at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; still unexposed over this sort of trip and likely to be on the premises again. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten in three runs for new stable (Flat/hurdles) this spring; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival; blinkers return and visor is removed. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten on both starts for new stable last month (hurdle/Flat); might be aided by refitted visor and/or first-time tongue-tie here but has lots to prove. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice over hurdles at Newton Abbot on good during the summer; made a pleasing start over fences when passing three opponents on the run-in to claim third over C&D (good) last month and holds place claims. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

2-9 over hurdles, both wins coming on good ground this summer after wind surgery; has to be forgiven a below-par effort last month but the switch to fences could bring improvement and he's one to consider. |

Went close in basement-grade AW race in June and has shown minor promise in three juvenile hurdles this summer (good to firm/good) but faces a tough task from 12lb out of the weights on this handicap hurdle debut. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-5 over hurdles, having been pulled up in both handicaps last year (2m1f/2m3f), but returns to this code after two 1m6f AW wins this spring and is evidenty in good nick; tries a new trip; likely contender. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Likes it here, landing a second course win, again from the front for Gina Mangan, over C&D six weeks ago; was allowed his own way that night and this is more competitive if anything but he holds claims upped a fair 4lb. |

0-8 over hurdles and twice disappointing since a third of six at Newton Abbot in September (2m1f, good to soft); wouldn't be the obvious answer on this switch to fences. |

0-7 and down the field at Taunton in November last time, but looked stretched by 2m3f; prior to that he ran okay when third of six at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); might have each-way chance now back down in trip. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Hasn't got a lot going in his previous four chases but well handicapped on some of his hurdle form and didn't run too badly in that discipline last time. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Very opposable on this season's exploits but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point; worth checking the betting. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made disappointing start to chasing career this season (three attempts) and reverted to hurdling with a heavy defeat and a fall last month; lurks on a good mark but needs to turn a corner. |
