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. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Warwick (2m, good) last June but he's gone the wrong way in handicaps and was tailed off on Plumpton reappearance (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; mark continues to fall but he has something to prove. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; back from a break with pleasing runs under both codes before struggling in the Sussex Champion Hurdle; this is easier than that assignment. |
5/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; back from a break to finish fourth behind Hamlet's Night on the AW and then ran third of six in a Fakenham handicap hurdle; this race is much tougher than that one. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Disappointing at Wetherby (3m, soft) a fortnight ago but progressive previously with wins at Hexham (2m4f, good) and Musselburgh (3m, soft); could bounce back with a big performance in first-time cheekpieces. |
3/1 |

6th 5 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
In better form on his last three starts, winning at Hexham (2m4f, good) and more recently Musselburgh (3m, soft), with a good effort at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) separating them; up another 4lb but may be able to eke out more and he's a contender. |

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. |
3/1 |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive over hurdles in early part of last season, winning three times on good ground (2m-2m1f); absent since blotting copybook in the autumn (whipped round at start and refused to race) and not bred to benefit from this step up in trip. |
3/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive over hurdles for new stable this season, winning three times; posted sound effort when second of five off today's mark at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) last month but this race is stronger. |

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. |

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. |
