24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Completed his hat-trick over fences at Hexham (3m, soft), albeit in a race that fell apart at the seams; he's been plying his trade in Class 5s and now has to cope with a 9lb rise, but wouldn't put it past him. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's proving progressive over fences and landed handicaps (around 3m) at Market Rasen and Plumpton recently, showing a likeable attitude on latter occasion; up 2lb but he remains quite lightly raced and merits serious consideration in his hat-trick attempt. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Consistent since switched to chasing in the autumn and made all to score by 11l at Market Rasen (3m, soft) three weeks ago; should also be suited by this left-handed track and can make another bold bid. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue. |
9/2 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences and nearly made that six last time at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft); he's handicapped about right but needs considering. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Five-time chase winner, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; remote when third at Huntingdon eight days ago and not one to rely upon nowadays but he's still on a good mark if in the right mood. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
No match for Ballyfinn when having to settle for second place over C&D (good) last month, but opened her account over fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) on Saturday; shoulders a 7lb penalty and this looks tougher. |

1st 11 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-7 over fences but ran big race in defeat when second at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month, looking the likely winner until collared on run-in; one of two for the stable and a player off same mark again today. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who launched chasing career with two good efforts, latterly when second to Felton Bellevue over C&D (soft) in February; ran in snatches and was disappointing over hurdles here a fortnight ago but might travel better in first-time cheekpieces today and could still have potential over fences. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced maiden over hurdles who has showed improved form since switched to fences on last two starts; not yet fully exposed and reverts to hurdles off what may prove to be a workable mark. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over C&D in April 2023 and a chase here in April 2024; however, he's struggled this season following a long absence, including at this course on three occasions; 4lb out of the handicap; major turnaround needed. |
14/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Returned from a long layoff with some disappointing efforts this season but took a step back in the right direction over hurdles at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January, where he put in a good front-running shift before tiring; now 1lb lower than when winning comfortably by 13l over C&D (good) in April 2024 and enters calculations; cheekpieces (worn for last two races) removed. |
