18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took form to new level when drawing clear to score at Pontefract (1m4f, good) in April 2025 but absent since disappointing run over 1m6f a few weeks later, and this drop back to 1m2f is probably not ideal. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4yo who finished runner-up at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and Pontefract (1m4f, good) in the spring; looks interesting on that form but he's finished a well-held fifth in last two starts and is now 0-11. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-10 overall, with two seconds in the spring and one was on Tapeta but he's been tailed off in two Polytrack handicaps; close third in a four-runner race on turf on penultimate start, setting a steady pace, but heavily beaten when trying 1m6f on latest outing; none too solid. |

No great shakes on the Flat for Kevin Ryan but did win three times at about 1m4f; however, it's been a poor start to his hurdling career. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Three-time Flat winner at up to 1m4f, including on good, when with Kevin Ryan (RPR 75); 66-1 and pulled up (vet reported he had bled from the nose) on his hurdles and stable debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in February; tongue-tie now fitted; bit to prove. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |

Three-time Flat winner for Kevin Ryan (good/good to soft), the latest at Haydock in September (1m3f; RPR 75); sold for £12,000 in October; may make a hurdler but he might be best watched on his jumps/stable debut. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Rallied for third of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) on seasonal debut and remains well handicapped on historical data; just no certainty to step forward, being a veteran who hasn't won since 2023. |
14/1 |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

A veteran who is without a win since September 2023; good weights chance on last season's best but he ended the year with a modest effort; handles good ground but rarely seen on a faster surface. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Dual bumper winner and looks capable of winning on the Flat, coming from further back than the winner when second over 1m4f here in April; should be sharper for a recent comeback run at Newcastle and enters calculations. |

10st 12lb |
Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid. |

Two from two since visor went on, winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft; won by 13l); put up 9lb for last win but should be competitive again. |

0-26 (0-9 over hurdles) prior to getting off the mark in a first-time visor at Catterick (1m7f, soft) a fortnight ago; came clear with the favourite and he's a strong candidate if the headgear maintains its effect. |

Dropped 26lb in the weights in six runs for new stable since February; perhaps the addition of blinkers will help but she's not a solid option in her current form. |

Sole win came for Richard Hughes in a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f; 11-8 favourite) in July 2023; hasn't offered much in five starts - over a range of distances (1m-1m4f) - for this yard; competes from an easing mark. |

Novice winner here (9.5f) for Richard Hughes in the summer of 2023, but has shown little since returning for this yard in February; the outside stall won't help his cause either. |

No win since November 2022 and he's struggled for form in recent starts, joining this trainer for the last three and well beaten in a 2m selling hurdle here on latest; visor applied for just his second attempt - last of five in the other - over fences; unlikely candidate. |

Debutant by Nathaniel out of a dam 2m-2m4f hurdle winning half-sister to winners La Pantera (6f), Clara Zetkin (6f/7f) and Hija (2m/3m hurdle); others are more appealing. |
