18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
3-3 since swapping cheekpieces for blinkers, the latest win gained at Haydock (3m, good) in April; subsequent six-month break may have checked her momentum but today's drop back in trip should not be a problem. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double (2m6f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when winning here for Dan Skelton last August; she's run some reasonable races since for this yard but was a well-beaten second of two finishers at Fontwell recently. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 |
24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Led close home to land quite valuable prize for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer; not at same level on any of three subsequent starts for new stable but ran well for long way when fourth of five at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month, after a break, and may be better suited by this shorter trip. |
13/2 |

4th 4 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Signed off for Dan Skelton with two wins last summer (about 2m6f); shaped well on stable debut when third at Newcastle in November but pulled up at Chepstow three weeks later, both at about 3m; off 150 days but she's won off similar breaks in the past and not ruled out if back on song. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has won two of his last three races, both over 3m1f here, the latest on soft ground; also won over C&D last March; on a career-high mark (up 4lb for his latest win) but should run well again despite dropping back in trip. |
6/1 |

1st 2 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made it 2-2 here with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month; unproven on soft ground, and only fifth at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but that wasn't a bad performance and he has to be respected now back at Catterick. |
4/1 |
|
5th 4 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to peak form when moved back up in trip at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) last month, justifying good market support in the process; current mark probably demands a career-best performance but he's not fully exposed over staying trips. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran fairly well for fourth at Hexham (2m7f, good) but that made it 0-35; not hard to take on. |
14/1 |

4th 9 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when fourth from out of the weights in quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in March but was well beaten when tried in a visor in April (2m4f) and is now 0-31 over hurdles; sports refitted cheekpieces here; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |

5th 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Only a respectable fourth of five at Sedgefield a fortnight ago, extending his losing run to 33; has a first-time visor added to his regular tongue-tie now. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent gelding on his favoured good ground, winning twice this year in small fields; beaten 9l into second in another last time but there's a big run in him. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
In great form on good ground this spring, winning twice and running well in between; raised only a further 2lb for Wincanton performance (3m1f) last time; likely to remain competitive. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Newbury last March on good to soft; dug deepest to get off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) and ran well last week at Exeter, for all that only two got round (he was hampered by the faller). |
