2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Defied a virtually identical absence to today's at Perth this time last year (good); inconsistent when last seen, however, and over three and a half years since he last lowered a mark in the 120s. |

Course winner here last September (2m4f, good); back to winning ways last time at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft); interesting contender off this 5lb higher mark. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Safely held in last two chases but beat Secret Trix by 4l to score at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) on latest hurdling start in June and is now only 2lb above that mark; also suited by this track; can make his presence felt. |
7/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
All three chase wins have been over C&D, including in this equivalent race in 2023; equally effective over hurdles with three wins, the most recent at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month; last of five finishers when back over fences at Cartmel (3m1f, good) last time but cannot be dismissed around here. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
All good since joining Stuart Edmonds and deserved his 2m7f win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (by 4l; good); up 4lb for this return to fences but he's a three-time winner in this discipline. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Won two 3m handicap chases on good to soft last season; slow to find his form this term, but good run at Musselburgh last time (2m7f, soft); chance. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 4 |

Has a slight question mark over current form but a revival would put him in the picture; gained most recent win off 1lb higher last February. |

20th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
8-30; Newcastle winner (3m, good; 3-1, from 3lb lower, when claimer ridden) last October; struggled on recent Kelso comeback run (2m5f; last of seven, beaten 27l); potentially vulnerable again until his mark slowly begins to ease. |
4/1 |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Enjoyed a productive 2025 and won at Newcastle (2m7f, good) that October when last seen; this 10yo has an absence to defy but he won a point in May 2025 after some time off and is not discounted today. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Five-time chase winner who was runner-up in that discipline last time, and he won his last race over hurdles at Cartmel in August (2m6f, good); well treated in relation to chase mark and William Maggs also takes off 5lb. |

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. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

C&D winner off this mark last November (soft) but mainly below that form since and tailed off back over C&D (good) on his last two outings. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
C&D winner off 2lb lower last November (soft) but mainly below that form since, including last time when well beaten over C&D after pulling too hard in first time visor (discarded); should fare better. |
12/1 |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up at Worcester before another disappointing run over fences (0-3); no surprise to see him back hurdling but the first-time visor is a grey area; others perhaps safer. |
