26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had a charmed spell for new yard earlier, five wins including one over C&D (good; also acts on soft); has run up to form only once in his last four starts though, following a revival at Fakenham last month with a tailed-off run at Windsor, and is still 6lb higher than the latest win. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four class 5 wins shared between hurdles and fences since joining James Owen, hacking up in a Newton Abbot chase latest (3m2f, good to soft); a fifth race in 25 days, a step back up in class and most significantly an additional 20lb hike all ask different questions this time. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Revitalised 8yo who started off for James Owen with two hurdle wins in refitted visor this month (2m5f/2m4f) and barely came off the bridle when scoring by 12l over fences at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on Tuesday; has further to go here but has good chance to extend winning spree under 7lb penalty. |

1-12 over fences; below par for a while now, including on recent stable debut; new headgear combination. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Sole success came in a 3m handicap chase on good ground at Perth last August when 6lb lower; he can cope with this mark but needs a return to form on his stable debut. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A chase at Perth (3m, good) last August off 5lb lower was his only win from 17 starts; left Ella Pickard before pulled up here 13 days ago on debut for new stable, but it's notable that he started 13-8 favourite in that chase; now he's back hurdling for first time since 2022. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-13 over hurdles, the latter win gained off this mark over C&D (good) last summer; has lost his way a bit since, though, and was safely held off his lower chase mark last month; others have more pressing claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Scored over fences in April 2025 on heavy, and has won twice over hurdles since but has lost his form in that sphere; now returns to fences; hard to fancy. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Won off 4lb lower at Worcester (2m7f, good) last August under usual rider Eleanor Williams but out of form since; needs to be back to his peak. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In a new visor he won two C&D handicaps last August; hit and miss since then but the visor in which he has form figures of 115 now belatedly returns. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten all four hurdle/chase runs since returning from long absence for new stable last September but has slipped to a basement mark and might appreciate getting away from soft/heavy ground; dangerous to ignore. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Has won over fences but two disappointing runs after an absence included a heavy defeat behind Esperti and his struggles continued back over hurdles here last month; has dropped to a good mark but with questions to answer now. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten on stable debut in September but that came after a long absence and he's well handicapped on old form for Tim Easterby; gained both wins on good to soft ground but can handle soft; market may guide. |

Absent for over two years after good-ground Irish point win in 2022 and has not shown a great deal under rules this season; beaten 31l and 53l in her first two chases (both in February); needs subsequent wind op to have made a difference. |

Dual chase winner in France in spring 2024 but 0-6 and generally disappointing for three different stables in Britain; well beaten in 3m2f chase on last month's debut for Debra Hamer; looks too risky in this 2m hurdle. |
