18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Launched handicap career with two respectable runs (both 2m, good) towards end of last season but, following a wind op, took backward step when safely held at Uttoxeter on Wednesday; sports refitted hood here; improvement required. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Hinted at ability in three novice hurdles and didn't run badly when third on handicap debut, albeit beaten 18l; failed to back that up at Taunton the following month but has since had wind surgery; returns from a break with a tongue-tie added and could have more to offer. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Showed promise in her bumpers but had only hinted at that ability in three novice hurdles before stepping up on handicap debut when a keeping-on third from off the pace at Stratford (2m, good) last month; open to further progress and one to consider off 1lb lower. |

10st 10lb |
Only a modest sixth at Huntingdon (good) but may improve with that experience under his belt; Sean Bowen, who has a respectable strike-rate for this stable, is a positive booking. |
