30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
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. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
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. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Hard to predict and was out the back at Wolverhampton (1m4f) three weeks ago but he finished runner-up over hurdles at Chepstow (2m) last month and his last Flat win was off this mark (1m6f, good) last summer; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back up in trip; change of headgear. |
20/1 |

9th 1 (5) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a weak four-runner handicap at Ffos Las (1m6f, good) under David Probert in July but mostly poor form under both codes since; appeared to take a step back in the right direction when second over hurdles last time and Probert is back in the saddle for the first time since that win. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
5yo who made the frame a few times last season and his mark continues to fall, but he hasn't got competitive this term and remains a maiden. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Gained last three wins over C&D but they were on good ground; failed to beat a rival on heavy going here (race won by El Gavilan) last time; forecast conditions look unfavourable. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front over C&D (good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; slightly disappointing when well-held fourth in recent selling handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but still enters calculations. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; well held when second in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) this month but the winner has performed well in much stronger company since; probably won't be far away. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
His good days are long gone and he has been regressing for a while; made no impact on stable debut. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Useful in his prime; badly out of sorts for Alison Thorpe last year (five runs) but makes stable debut from a very dangerous mark and with the trip/ground suitable; well worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful for Paul Nicholls a few years ago but well beaten on all four starts for Alison Thorpe this year; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here; urgently needs to prove some ability remains. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Has failed to build on an encouraging reappearance at Ffos Las in October, finishing tailed off in November and pulled up the following month; absent since, but returns on a handy mark, albeit with something to prove. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-6 over hurdles but shaped well and made quite encouraging reappearance at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month; 4lb lower here and can feature if that run brought him on. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Three hurdle wins this season, most recently when given a nicely judged Joe Anderson ride from off the pace over C&D (good) 12 days ago; 4lb rise is not excessive but the ground may have turn against him now. |
