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. |

Came to grief in all three Irish points in May but not without showing some promise; not ruled out on rules debut. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Free-goer who was on a roll last autumn, winning three times; well held behind Star Of Guiting at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and couldn't land a blow behind Dance And Glance over C&D last month, but he should get plenty of cover in this big field and could outrun his likely odds. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Novice who won three times in the autumn (2m, good to soft/good) and ran well when third behind two unexposed rivals at Stratford (2m, soft) last month; a strong pace seems likely, which should see him to good effect. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper winner in June last year and got off the mark over hurdles at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; looks sure to be suited by this step up in trip and holds claims. |

1st 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who was placed in three good-ground maiden hurdles (2m1f-2m2f) last summer; safely held in Ludlow handicap last month, after a break, but might have needed that outing and remains lightly raced. |
13/2 |

4th 4 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won a Newton Abbot bumper on his debut for this yard in June and consistent in three qualifying runs over hurdles, including when looking unlucky at that track (about 2m2f, good) in August on penultimate start; not seen since third over 2m4f in September but he's a player on this handicap debut back down in trip. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well down the pecking order in his top yard but opened his hurdles account in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good; beat a subsequent scorer) most recently and may build on that solid success; respected. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Quite useful on the Flat in France last year; 0-7 and generally disappointing over hurdles but the form of his close third at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) two starts ago reads quite well, and his top trainer has an excellent strike-rate (6-14) with his occasional Sedgefield runners. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Remote when second of three on stable/chase debut but ran well for a long way before weakening into third at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and could be better suited by the forecast dryer ground here. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Good-ground hurdles scorer for previous yard; no match for the winner at Doncaster (2m3f) on chase/stable debut and return from absence but shaped as if this drop back in trip will suit; may progress. |
11/2 |

2nd 3 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Proved a reliable hurdler for Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies, scoring at Newton Abbot (2m2f) in August and signing off with a very good second in 2m Hereford handicap; changed hands for £24,000 after and he's not without interest now going chasing for his in-form new yard after a layoff. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not as far out of the weights as when an outpaced fifth on this month's handicap debut, and the longer trip may prove a plus; still a lot to find with the best of these, however; cheekpieces already discarded. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Maiden who has shown nothing in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps for her current yard; tries cheekpieces. |
33/1 |

6th 3 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-7 over hurdles; no match for clear winner when second here (2m, soft) in December and well beaten over 2m4f on last month's stable debut; might have needed that recent run and is open to improvement over this new trip but others have much more obvious claims. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Second in maiden hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in November on final start for Alison Thorpe and 19l second in a handicap at Fakenham (2m, soft) in December on her only run for the Flints; with another new yard after 112 days off, with place chance if she resumes in the same vein. |
