31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
A dual runner-up in points, she cut little ice over hurdles but found her mark over fences, winning twice over an extended 2m3f at Market Rasen (good to soft/soft); flopped, however, as favourite trying 3m at that track six weeks ago. |

A dual runner-up in points, she cut little ice over hurdles but has found her mark over fences, winning twice around here over 2m3f; promises to stay 3m and holds solid claims. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who has come a long way down the weights and he's had a sticky period since finishing second at Market Rasen five runs back; however, coming back from 3m could be a good move. |
7/2 |

6th 2 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Difficult times since back from absence last June but he's dropped a long way in the weights and there have been some signs of life; non-stayer over the extended 3m3f at Stratford recently (Carpe Diem runner-up) but he didn't run badly and better is expected. |

3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back with his former trainer on his last five starts; landed a four-timer for this yard in 2023; hasn't won since and has failed to complete on his last two starts; visor worn last time is left off; well handicapped if able to return to anywhere near his best form. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by just over 9l at Hereford (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago and is now 3-13 over fences; 7lb higher here but this trip-and-ground combination will also suit. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won this (good to soft) last year off 4lb lower, beating Kingcormac (second) and Greenways (pulled up); scored on heavy at Leicester next time and largely consistent since; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and has dipped below that last winning mark; player. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ready win when beating seven others at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) on his second start chasing and looked set to defy a penalty when coming down at the last over C&D (good to soft) in October; jumping has been a bit of an issue since and he was narrowly in front when again coming down at the final fence back at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) one month ago; hood joins his regular tongue-tie. |
2/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won readily by 6l here (2m3f, good) in October and was unlucky not to follow up at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) soon afterwards; managed only fourth over C&D on last two appearances but current mark is workable if this race is run to suit his usual patient tactics. |
6/4 |

4th 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a novice handicap over 2m3f here in October (good); fair runs on last two starts, notably when second to a subsequent winner over 2m at Huntingdon (good to soft; didn't jump too well); good track record and one with a chance. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-20 and mixed signals all season over what his present optimum trip might be; staying on but no chance with winner when second at Warwick latest (2m, good), and this contest looks a shade stronger. |
6/1 |

2nd 9 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A stumble after four out was no help at Market Rasen but did finish well held and he's now 0-9 over fences and 0-19 overall. |

4th 7 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-8 over fences and 0-18 overall; clear second to an improver over C&D (soft) in January and now only 1lb above that mark but hasn't quite been in the same form since; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

Extremely hard to win with and modest runs outweigh the good ones these days. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Good third at Market Rasen two runs back (2m1f, good to soft); hard to win with, but an each-way chance; new combination of headgear tried. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark. |
4/1 |
