Third over 2m3f at Fontwell in April on good to soft, he returns to hurdles with form that gives him a chance in this grade. He was second on the Flat over 2m1f at Bath on 8 October, although nine lengths behind the winner. A hurdle mark of 99 puts him 1lb below his Fontwell win over 2m1½f on heavy ground in December 2025. He also won a hurdle there on good to soft in September 2024, so today's ground holds no obvious fears as he tackles 2m3½f.

His April hurdle win at Plumpton and a subsequent Fakenham second, beaten a length and three quarters, make him competitive in this grade on his better form. He was less effective when fourth over 2m4½f at Plumpton on 19 October, beaten nine and a half lengths, but his mark has edged down to 97. That is just 2lb above his April winning mark, although today's good to soft contrasts with the good ground of that success. James Owen has sent out 14 winners from 59 runners in the past fortnight, adding encouragement from a stable in good form.

Two heavy hurdle defeats at Newton Abbot in September and Fontwell on 3 October leave him with plenty to prove, despite some useful spring chase form. He won over 2m4f at Plumpton in April before finishing a half-length second over fences at Fontwell in May. Now rated 94 over hurdles, he is 3lb below his Stratford success in October 2024, so the mark gives him a chance if reviving. Today's 2m3½f is two furlongs further than his latest run and brings him closer to the distances of those better chase efforts.

He was third in a 2m2f Plumpton bumper in December 2025, beaten three and a quarter lengths, showing more promise than in his subsequent hurdle starts. Pulled up at Uttoxeter in January, he was then well beaten at Ludlow in February and ninth at Fontwell on 14 March. That latest defeat came by more than 30 lengths in Class 4 company on soft, and he returns from 234 days off. He drops to Class 5 and steps up two furlongs to 2m3½f, with the longer trip offering a chance to build on that bumper promise.

Successive hurdle wins at Market Rasen and Taunton in February were followed by two sound placed efforts, giving him a solid spring campaign to build on. He was third in Class 4 company over 3m1f at Carlisle on good to soft in April, a performance that reads well back in Class 5. After 213 days off, he drops to 2m3½f, much closer to the distances of those February wins. His mark of 93 is 10lb above the Taunton success, although his subsequent placings show he remained competitive from higher ratings than that winning mark.

Won a Class 5 hurdle at Fakenham over 2m on good to soft in December 2024, giving her form that fits today's grade and ground. She is now 11lb below the mark she raced from there, making her potentially well treated if she can recover that level. However, her latest ninth at Fontwell on 15 October, beaten 46 and a half lengths, leaves a substantial revival required. She steps up two furlongs to 2m3½f, with a second over 2m4½f at Plumpton in September 2024 offering encouragement for the longer trip.

His mark of 84 is 6lb below his Fontwell hurdle-winning rating, although that success came back in April 2022 and requires a long look back. He was pulled up over hurdles at Fontwell in October 2025 and returns here after 376 days away. This Class 5 assignment is less demanding on paper than that Class 3 contest, but he needs to show he retains his old ability. Daniel Sansom has ridden a winner during the past fortnight, offering a little encouragement from the saddle.

A chase win at Bangor in February and a six-length third over 2m3½f at Ffos Las in April give him some worthwhile form to bring back over hurdles. He has also won in this sphere at Lingfield, over 2m on heavy ground in January 2025, so the track holds positive associations. Today's mark of 84 is 2lb above his latest hurdle success at Wincanton in March 2025, which came on good to soft. However, his January 2026 hurdle run ended in a heavy defeat at Wincanton, and he now returns from 205 days off.

Returns to hurdles from the same mark of 80 as his Fakenham win over 2m4f in June 2025, which gives him a reasonable starting point. He also finished second at Southwell in June 2026, beaten a length and a quarter from 82, so there is hurdle form to make him competitive. His September chase success at Stratford was followed by two heavy defeats, including a fifth there on 17 October, leaving his current form in doubt. Both those hurdle efforts came on good ground; he was well beaten at Windsor on good to soft in November 2025.

Finished fourth over 2m4½f at Plumpton in March, but a defeat of 28 and a half lengths leaves plenty of improvement needed for this Class 5 handicap. That followed pulled-up efforts at Lingfield in December 2025 and Newbury in February 2026, with the course run coming over today's 2m3½f on good to soft. He returns from 239 days off on a mark of 93, and the drop from Class 4 offers a more manageable task. Chris Gordon and Freddie Gordon have combined for four wins from 19 runners here, providing some encouragement from the partnership's course experience.
