10st 6lb |
Dual-purpose; won off 5lb lower at Downpatrick in June (2m2f, yld-sft) and followed up on the Flat at Newcastle 13 days later; below par in three runs on the level since; career best needed off current mark on return to this sphere. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Went close in April and won at Doncaster (1m4f, good) in June next time; her two runs since (Newbury) have not been great, though. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (9) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two turf wins, which came last June and at Doncaster (1m4f, good) almost exactly one year later on penultimate start; two seconds earlier this year but she needs to bounce back from a poor show here (1m3f; co-favourite) six weeks ago. |
6/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Bounced back to winning form when successful under Fred Daly at Doncaster (1m4f, good) 18 days ago, winning with a great deal more in hand than the margin would suggest; 5lb rise may prove lenient. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Two good C&D runs off higher marks in September/October last year, but disappointing since, including back on turf at Ripon last time. |

9th 13 (7) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Both wins came when trained in France; yet to be placed in 14 starts for current yard; makes seasonal debut and hard to enthuse about. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Proved resurgent with a couple of fourth-place finishes at Newcastle (12.5f) but reverted to lesser form last time; 0-12 for current yard and enough to prove over this new trip. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Tapeta winner in March (1m4f), and fair effort against a pace bias back on turf latest; no chances taken with initial hurdles mark (peak RPR 78 to date), but yet to encounter a sound surface in this discipline. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Needed a drop to Class 6 to open his account in Catterick event (1m4f, good) last time; back up in grade but may build on that win and also have more to offer in the retained cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who returned from wind surgery to finish a respectable fifth on AW Flat and backed that up when 15l second in a 2m maiden hurdle at Southwell (soft) last month; a lesser effort in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby three weeks ago needs forgiving but he dips into a Class 6 for the first time now back on the Flat and has the ability to make his mark at this level; cheekpieces rejoin the tongue-tie. |
4/1 |
|
8th 3 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Fair maiden on the Flat and he ran okay when 15l second in a maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; now goes handicapping in this code off a modest mark and he could have a part to play. |

No great shakes on the Flat for Kevin Ryan but did win three times at about 1m4f; however, it's been a poor start to his hurdling career. |
50/1 |
|
5th 3 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner at up to 1m4f, including on good, when with Kevin Ryan (RPR 75); 66-1 and pulled up (vet reported he had bled from the nose) on his hurdles and stable debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in February; tongue-tie now fitted; bit to prove. |
10/1 |

7 |
5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner for Kevin Ryan (good/good to soft), the latest at Haydock in September (1m3f; RPR 75); sold for £12,000 in October; may make a hurdler but he might be best watched on his jumps/stable debut. |

Notched four Flat wins last year, including over 1m3f here on good; returned from a break to win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month; only a fair fourth at Aintree since but still respected back on the Flat. |
5/2 |
|
4th 6 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |

Fair Flat racer who battled well to win 16-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month, after a break, and is now 2-4 in this sphere; 5lb claimer William Shanahan is enlisted today; high on the list. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

Record of 0-4 this term for new yard but was placed under Shay Halton at Ripon on penultimate start and latest race didn't pan out favourably; has slipped to an attractive mark. |

8 (13) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark but that was from August 2023; third at Ripon ten days ago was his best result this term but he needs much better than that form if he's to turn the tables on Spartan Times. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |

Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark, but his abbreviated career since the start of last year (including two starts for this yard) suggests he hasn't been easy to train; needs the switch to a visor to help him get back on track. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |

Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who picked up the latest of his eight wins when scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good) last May; hasn't threatened in three starts this year, latterly in cheekpieces, and his powers of destruction may finally be on the wane; blinkers back on for the first time in over four years. |

Veteran who has picked up a race or two up to 1m2f in most seasons but has had just two runs this term, well beaten; won off 1lb higher last May; now tries cheekpieces (first headgear since 2021) and he's only once been over this sort of trip (2019). |

Won slow-ground hurdle in France in February but unraced over jumps since pulled up in Listed handicap later that month and, barring one close second in a low-grade handicap, this year's Flat form is rather uninspiring. |

Well held after racing too freely at Haydock (11.6f) recently and now 0-20 but ran quite well when fourth under Lauren Frost on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), and his jockey (three wins from 35 rides under rules) is by far the most experienced in this race. |
