15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Maiden prior to his marked improvement over fences (on good ground) this May-September, including three wins and the first was at this track; he didn't fare so well at Uttoxeter 11 days ago but that was still up with his best form; not dismissed. |

4th 5 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Maiden prior to posting form figures of 1211 (on good ground) this term, the last two wins at Worcester (2m4f/2m); climbing the weights but possibly has further improvement in him. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Justified good support when off the mark over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in May and, after a solid second next time, doubled his tally over 2m4f here last time despite meeting interference; up 6lb and comes back in trip but he's open to further progress and this looks a good opportunity. |

2nd 8 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; runner-up on two of his three chasing attempts this spring but was no match for the winner at Fontwell (2m2f, good) last time and others in this line-up have more compelling form. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |
16/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Just two wins from 43 starts and was well held at Southwell (2m4f) two weeks ago, but he justified favouritism over C&D (good; 6-4) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track. |
5/2 |

5th 6 |
1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run with a breakthrough victory over fences in 2m7f handicap at Stratford last month; back up 5lb but still a likely player with Sean Bowen again in the saddle. |
9/4 |

1st 7 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Regularly makes the frame and was a respectable fourth over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) 17 days ago, but his strike-rate is now 1-41 and others appeal more for win purposes. |

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. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner, latterly on good ground last April; her infrequent going days are difficult to foretell, though, and she was soundly beaten here (2m2f) ten days ago; 1lb out of the weights. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed. |
20/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Penultimate defeat was over fences; again only third when bidding for a four-timer over hurdles in a selling handicap at Newton Abbot where there were no excuses; still a likely contender if continuing his good work for new yard. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't taken to fences in two attempts, the first in May and most recently after completing a hat-trick over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) in August; drops into selling company and has strong claims back over hurdles despite being 3lb higher. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten a combined 70l in two soft-ground starts over fences but he won his third hurdle race when picking up a 12-runner Ffos Las handicap (2m, good) off this mark nine days ago; 5lb well in on handicap marks if he can transfer that form to chasing and there should be no ground excuses this time. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well treated on best hurdles form but his record for current yard leaves a lot to be desired; switch to fences made no difference last time; the weakest contender. |
