2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Generally disappointing in handicaps since winning 2m maiden a year ago and steps up in trip off a career-low mark; worth a look in the betting. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten about 35l when third in 2m maiden here in June and struggled in Stratford novice last month but moves up in trip for today's handicap debut and remains very unexposed; worth a glance in the betting. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Last in a point-to-point bumper in April last year; only modest form over hurdles and looks more one for handcaps. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed minor promise before coming to grief just after penultimate flight over C&D (good) last month, his second hurdling start, but is probably one for a bit further down the line. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Modest 7f/1m handicapper on the Flat; pulled hard when tailed off on only previous run over hurdles in November 2023 (2m, good to soft); best watched for now. |

22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

7f and 1m course winner, the latter coming when 4lb lower in March; has been competitive from this mark in two of his three subsequent starts; each-way player. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Formerly with Alan King; creditable second at Warwick on latest hurdles start (2m, good) and has since finished third in a 1m4f handicap at Salisbury; stable debut; each-way chance. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three Flat wins at up to 1m2f; in the frame twice over hurdles since last seen on the Flat; drops into a 0-80 and should stay 1m4f; not discounted. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, good) and Musselburgh (3m, soft) last season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's struggled in his last three runs and has something to prove on chase debut. |
12/1 |

12th 8 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, good) and Musselburgh (3m, soft) last season; below par last two outings and was due to go chasing last week when withdrawn due to the ground. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Unplaced in seven Flat starts (last ran in this sphere in 2024); triple good-ground hurdle winner at up to 2m1f last summer; reluctant to race when well beaten over hurdles latest; others make more appeal. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Comes with some risk, having refused to race on one occasion and lost many lengths by whipping around at the start last time (ran well in the circumstances); otherwise capable of playing a big role. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won three in her first season over hurdles last term and may not have got home when third of five at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) on her return to action 23 days ago; should be sharper for the run and holds claims. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Dual 1m6f AW Flat winner for Joseph Parr; didn't jump that well when pulled up on hurdles debut; should improve. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won two low-grade 1m6f AW handicaps for Joseph Parr when fitted with cheekpieces in February; changed hands for 8,500gns in May; goes without headgear on stable/hurdle debut but will be fine stamina-wise; market may guide. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed improvement in the autumn when last seen, winning at Luldlow (2m5f) then running well under a penalty at Huntingdon (2m3f), both times under James Bowen; may do better still; interesting handicap debutante. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at fourth attempt, leading close home in tactical, four-runner race at Ludlow (2m5f, good) ten days ago; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but she ought to run well again here. |
