26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has run well on good/good to soft but reportedly benefited from switch to heavy ground when bouncing back to form to win by 7l at Ffos Las last month; subsequent 5lb rise is not excessive but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Back to within 1lb of the mark for December 2024's Hereford win (2m, good to soft), and only one of just three starts since has been over this short a trip; possibilities if sharp enough after five months out. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ended 2024 with narrow win at Hereford (2m, good to soft) and returned from break with two fairly good runs at Stratford (2m2f/2m) this summer; needs to find extra here but is unexposed over the trip. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who's done a lot of his winning in the summer and always liked it round here; back in form over hurdles last time and is 2lb lower than when going in here last July, so he needs a second look. |
7/1 |

1st 8 |
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. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
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 |

Respectable fifth in similar races at Taunton and Chepstow last month but has yet to place over hurdles after ten attempts. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
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. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained a first win over 2m here in March and has continued in good form, runner-up in 2m4f Ffos Las handicap four weeks ago; that form has been well advertised since so he must enter calculations despite 2lb rise. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Rain welcomed as the ground was soft when making all at Southwell in March (2m) but beaten 11l and 23l in his subsequent races in new cheekpieces; dropped 3lb for those, so only 4lb above his win; wouldn't be a certain stayer over this far. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made all for a 2m hurdle win (soft) under Tom Broughton at Southwell on his penultimate start; up 7lb when weakening out of it at Chepstow (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces); drops 1lb; goes back up in trip with more needed. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Disappointed when made favourite at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) last month, after a layoff, but is now 6lb lower than when placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) just over a year ago, and can rebound on the less testing ground here. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-7 over hurdles; absent since placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) last March and not sure to be suited by the slower ground here but it's interesting that Sean Bowen is booked again. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
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. |
33/1 |

5th 6 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently when beaten about 28l in Chepstow handicap (2m, good to soft) in March, but his Irish point second last spring offers a ray of hope on this chasing debut. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Tailed off when 100-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut here (2m3f, soft; raced too freely) but came second in good-ground Irish point last spring and was running well before falling in good-ground novice hurdle in the autumn; back on forecast decent ground today; no surprise if he features. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Out of sorts for Alison Thorpe last year and well beaten on both starts for new stable this spring, the latter in a selling handicap; sports first-time hood here; could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

11th 8 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

His good days are long gone and he has been regressing for a while; made no impact on stable debut. |

7th 4 |
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. |
12/1 |
