12st 0lb |
Pulled up on handicap debut in France in November 2023 and, following a long absence, well held when falling on both starts for new stable in June/July; has too much to prove. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Gained five of his six hurdle wins at this track, including in pretty good style twice last month (2m3f and an extended 2m5f); 6lb rise since latest looks on the steep side but 7lb claimer (who had a chase win last week) is recruited; faces only four rivals and his record here demands great respect. |

Gained four of his five hurdle wins at this track, the latest in pretty good style this month (2m3f, good); fine over this longer trip and recent 4lb rise does not look excessive; likely contender. |

11st 11lb |
Won against own age-group on hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m, good) just under a year ago but subsequent hurdle/Flat form has generally been underwhelming; not beaten far when tenth at Chepstow (2m3f, good) this month but makes only limited appeal here; headgear is switched again. |

Placed over C&D (good; behind The Magus) for Anthony Charlton on handicap hurdle debut in April but made just a satisfactory stable debut last month and has been well beaten on the Flat since; cheekpieces replace visor. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but ran his best race this season with cheekpieces added when an 11l third of six over C&D two weeks ago on his first try at this far; should be thereabouts if repeating the effort. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |

Still a maiden over hurdles but produced one of his best results over 2m5f, the longest distance he's tackled; modest third over 2m1f last time; combination of new trip and first-time headgear may have positive effect. |
8/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-6 over hurdles but ran well in all three handicaps last season, most recently when second (albeit well held) behind heavily backed rival at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in February; at least each-way claims if ready to roll. |

11st 5lb |
Won two in a row in the autumn (2m2f/2m, good to soft/soft) and, after a couple of respectable fifth placings, he was a close second at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; in the mix if seeing out this longer trip; the hood worn on his last four starts is left off. |

Runner-up at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) on latest hurdling start in March and subsequently won a bottom-grade Flat race but his subsequent Flat form was disappointing and he has stamina to prove today. |

Rather in and out this season but he beat two other finishers in 2m4f contest on heavy ground here in February, and that success was no bolt from the blue; more is required off a career-high mark but the step back up in trip should suit and Freddie Mitchell's claim is a plus. |

Safely held against own age-group on both outings last season and a heavy defeat when back in action last month, but this very unexposed 4yo represents a top stable and is open to improvement in handicaps. |

Maiden hurdler who was never that threatening in handicaps but his breeding offers plenty of hope that he'll do better over fences and over this longer distance; tongue-tie added; hard to dismiss. |

Gained two of his five hurdling wins over C&D (both in sellers) but the latest was in October 2022; ran well to a point in two recent 2m6f handicaps here (wore blinkers; doesn't today) and may benefit from this drop back in trip but younger rivals appeal more. |
