2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
2lb lower than when runner-up on good ground at Warwick (3m2f) and Worcester (2m7f) in the summer, but not at his best since including when sixth of 11 behind The Wise Traveller at Plumpton (3m1f, good) six weeks ago; more needed. |

3rd 6 |
25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has been running well under both codes for most of this year and was clear of the rest behind a lightly raced winner at Worcester a month ago (2m7f, good); just 3lb higher. |
2/1 |
|
2 |
24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three in a row on the Flat in the spring (1m6f-2m) and was placed over hurdles on next two outings (2m/2m2f); has won over 2m7f before and could plausibly still have untapped potential as a stayer over jumps. |
9/2 |

5th 2 (6) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Completed Flat hat-trick when winning by a neck at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) on June 5; solid efforts when third over hurdles the next twice and he has to be respected off a mark just 2lb higher than at Lingfield. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Had dropped to a good mark and finally exploited it with a head success at Hereford (3m1f, good); that was a weak race but he's only 2lb higher and should give some less exposed rivals plenty to think about. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Sole hurdles win came off 15lb higher mark but he's been struggling for a while and finished last of four at Fakenham last time after four months off; needs a revival. |
12/1 |

4th 4 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |

Potentially well handicapped but was struggling for form when last seen and has been off since early September. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Arrested decline when third in first-time blinkers at Perth (3m, good) last month but this 12yo remains without a win since 2023 and it's hard to tell whether the new headgear will continue to have a positive effect. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Second of four on stable debut here last May (3m2f, good); hasn't run quite as well since but is now on a career-low mark; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
7th 11 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Returned from layoff with quite encouraging C&D fourth (albeit well held in the end) on soft ground last month but is getting long in the tooth and today's faster ground is probably not in his favour; headgear refitted. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Scored off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) in June but all three subsequent runs were disappointing and he now has questions to answer again; new headgear tried. |
14/1 |
|
5 |
24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month and is still well handicapped on older form, but was soundly beaten on his last two outings and now has questions to answer again. |
10/1 |
|

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Exploited some help from the handicapper when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) this month and is still on a workable mark after going back up 5lb but needs to rebound quickly from disappointing run on Saturday. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
0-16 over hurdles and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern, but she shaped with significant promise when fifth on last month's stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) and probably sat too far off the pace when failing to build on that performance at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) three weeks later; tries a new trip here; worth a second look. |
9/1 |

5th 10 |
27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-15 over hurdles when based in Ireland but shaped with significant promise when fifth of 15 on recent stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); drops back in trip here; contender if that run brought him on. |
14/1 |
|

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who was sold out of Philip Rothwell's stable for 6,000euros after two heavy defeats in early part of this year; moves back up in trip for stable debut; cheekpieces removed; market may guide. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Quirky customer who is often reluctant to jump off; won at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April, after a break, and is now back on the same mark, but recent efforts were below that level and he's never easy to predict. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Has struggled to recapture the form that saw him successful at Stratford (3m2f, good) off 2lb lower in April; not one to dismiss lightly but recent efforts temper enthusiasm. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Sole win came over C&D (good) in May and has run well a couple of times since, but has also bled on a couple of occasions including on her chase debut back here (3m, good) last month; others more persuasive. |

10st 12lb |
Well beaten in two novice hurdles (2m5f/2m3f) since winning a three-runner point under Elizabeth Feakes in May, but remains very unexposed under rules and has a lowly mark for this handicap debut; watch the betting. |
10/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
2-21 in points, the latter win gained in three-runner contest on fast ground last month, but soundly beaten when back under rules for Newton Abbot novice hurdle (2m5f, good) last Wednesday. |

Rallied well to open account at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer and was placed off today's mark on next outing; not yet fully exposed but absent since disappointing run in October. |

7th 5 |
13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has found his level in handicaps, winning at Worcester and then digging deep for a close third at Uttoxeter (again at about 2m7f on good); respected. |
9/4 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Rallied to regain lead on run-in at Worcester (2m7f, good; front pair clear) in July, opening his hurdling account at the fifth attempt; not proven on ground slower than good but may have more improvement to come. |
3/1 |
