22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Took a long time to open his account but won four times in cheekpieces (2m3f-2m4f) on ground slower than good last season; already back down to a workable mark and made a fairly encouraging reappearance on good ground 12 days ago but the cheekpieces are missing again here. |

11st 12lb |
Took a long time to open his account but won four times in cheekpieces (2m3f-2m4f) on ground slower than good last season; already back down to a workable mark but the forecast good ground is probably not ideal on this first start since April, and the cheekpieces are missing. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-9 over hurdles but returned to form with creditable third over C&D (soft; usual hood removed) last month and has obvious claims if in the right mood again. |

3rd 9 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Was running well in handicaps at about this trip early in 2025 but she hasn't got to grips with this season so far and was well back at Warwick after Christmas; now goes without regular hood. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unexposed 5yo who was a good second on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January and he backed that up with a close fourth over C&D the following month; up another 2lb but he travelled strongly for a long way last time and is open to more progress; strongly respected with tongue-tie added. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Displayed significant improvement when clear second to a next-time-out winner on last month's handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft); went up 4lb for his troubles but still commands respect. |
9/4 |

2nd 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Last of three on bumper debut and modest form at best in three 2m hurdles towards the end of 2025; hopes rest on a step up in distance for today's handicap debut. |

10st 6lb |
Stayed on for very respectable fourth at Hereford (2m3f, good) this month, his second run in a visor, but is yet to be placed after 11 hurdling starts and needs to find something extra today. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Didn't run badly when fifth on heavy ground at Taunton (2m3f) last week but he's 0-9 over hurdles now and needs to be perked up by a change of headgear today. |

0-8 over hurdles but ran well in defeat at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago, albeit in what looked a modest race, and enters calculations here. |

2nd 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

Nothing to show for four runs in handicaps and she's 5lb out of the weights here; what could help is the step up in trip from 2m4f. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

4lb wrong today in her fourth handicap and she has very ropey claims; maybe a move away from soft ground will help. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner; cut little ice over hurdles but there were positives to take from chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft) where she made up some ground from off the pace; still needs more and Lunar Ocean was ahead of her last time. |
12/1 |

6th 4 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who may improve for this combination of switch to chasing and return to Ffos Las; sole course start resulted in bumper win in 2022 (peak form). |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who returned from a very long absence to make her handicap and stable debut at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and ran well for a long way before fading into seventh of 12; could take a step forward now back down in trip and she's one to be interested in. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-18 under rules but ran her usual solid race when third of ten at Worcester (2m7f, good) 16 days ago in a returning visor (retained); looks sure to give another good account but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs. |

Second runner for Gordon Elliott; 0-7 in Britain; didn't set the world alight on stable debut at Sligo before similar effort at Galway; new headgear combination needs to work the oracle. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 97y |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 148y |

Unseated rider in early stages of a recent chase and is now 0-10 under rules; reverts to hurdling from a lowly mark but still needs to find some improvement. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |

Point runner-up who is only five and it's still very early days over fences; however, he's been soundly beaten on both outings in this sphere and needs to raise his game. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |

Maiden who has form figures of 0FP706 over hurdles and was a remote fifth at a big prices on his recent chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good); has a lot to prove and he needs a tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumped into a improver when second on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last March and held every chance before last-flight fall on seasonal reappearance there (2m6f, soft) in November; chasing has not gone to plan on her last two outings but she reverts to hurdling on a good mark and with a new visor fitted; big player if back on song. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Low-mileage maiden who has hurdles form at Ffos Las; modest effort (last of three finishers) at Lingfield switched to chasing last time but may improve for that experience. |
5/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-4 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up in trip when keeping-on second behind an improver on handicap debut here (2m4f, good; first-time tongie-tie) in March; had wind op during eight-month break; open to more improvement if this stiffer stamina test suits. |
