15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
He is slowly getting the hang of this hurdling game, winning a 13-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m) last month and second of 11 off today's mark over that same C&D (again good ground; made most) 11 days ago; he didn't see out 2m3f here three starts back but has to be very prominent in calculations nevertheless. |

2nd 6 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner when trained by Robert Stephens in July 2025; ninth run over hurdles and third for this yard when winning a 13-runner handicap over C&D (good; from Bowling Shane) 19 days ago; back up 5lb but that win, after leading five out, came in clearcut style. |

Bumper winner when trained by Robert Stephens in July 2025; has been underwhelming over hurdles so far, the last two runs for this yard. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Record of 421 in bumpers, readily beating sole rival at Sedgefield the final time; placed in Hexham novice hurdle (2m) since; one of two with solid claims. |
2/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Made the frame in his first two bumpers before readily winning Sedgefield match race (also on good ground; first-time tongue-tie) last month; his form isn't anything to go wild about but, nevertheless, he has each-way claims at least on this hurdling debut. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 |
4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Fourth of 12 at Bangor and second of ten at Worcester, both on good ground; his form might be that bit better than that of his sole rival and he's receiving weight; tongue-tie added. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Third in three good-ground bumpers in early part of last season but the form isn't anything to get excited about, and she was soundly beaten on her first two hurdling starts, the latter last month, after a layoff. |
10/1 |

5th 8 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Third in three good-ground bumpers in early part of last season; that form isn't anything to get too excited about and we haven't seen her since a disappointing hurdle debut in September but, nevertheless, she enters calculations. |
8/1 |
|

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Third in three good-ground bumpers this season, the latest against males here six weeks ago; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but she should have a future over jumps; likely contender. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Failed to complete in all three Irish points during May, though showed glimpses of ability, and shaped with promise when fourth on last month's bumper/stable debut at Worcester (good); now switches to hurdles but appeals as one for the longer term. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
0-10 under rules; ran well to a point when third (well held in the end) on chasing debut at Hexham (3m, good) in June but was soundly beaten at Stratford (3m3f, good to firm) last month; others look stronger. |
20/1 |

5th 6 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nine-race maiden under rules; his third on chase debut two runs back was quite remote and then tailed off on his return to hurdles; 3lb out of the weights. |
25/1 |

5th 8 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran quite well when third of seven (albeit well held in the end) on recent chasing debut at Hexham (3m, good) but is now 0-9 under all codes; 2lb wrong for this return to hurding; needs to find something extra. |

11st 12lb |
0-8 over hurdles for Emma Lavelle but signed off for her with respectable third in Uttoxeter maiden (2m4f, good) in July and is on a workable handicap mark for this stable debut; no surprise if she features. |
11/2 |

3rd 6 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has shown ability over hurdles but she's struggled in her last three runs including when pulled up in a handicap at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last month; overall record is now 0-9 and others are more convincing. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Never travelling when pulled up at Hereford last month, and no more encouragement returned to novice company since; new career-low mark still insufficiently tempting. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Has failed to back up bumper debut effort and needs to derive benefit from this drop back in trip; both hurdles attempts over further. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made a quite promising debut in a Market Rasen bumper in June 2025 but failed to build on that next time and hasn't been seen since pulling up lame on hurdle debut in August last year; probably best watched back from an absence. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |

Out of a half-sister to high-class Irish jumper Sharjah; made quite promising debut when third of five in good-ground Market Rasen bumper in June but suffered a heavy defeat last month (stopped quickly) and is probably best watched on this hurdling debut; hooded for first time. |
