29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Overcame a slipping saddle to score on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; 18-1, from 5lb lower) in May; kept busy on the Flat at Chester lately, producing creditable efforts (fourth and runner-up); still low mileage as a hurdler, with the potential to rate higher. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time Flat scorer at around 1m2f in 2025; also successful over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May and back in good form in this sphere, when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here a week ago; very much one to consider. |
15/2 |

4th 10 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles in May; runner-up over C&D in June but only sixth behind Nibras Gold the following month; could still go well, having finished second in a division of this last year. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent for new yard in the second half of last year but posted wins at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) and Nottingham (1m6f, heavy; when last seen); in the mix if at the top of her game on this reappearance. |
2/1 |

2 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) last month on second stable start and didn't see out the stiff finish at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; she's not discounted now back down in trip. |
13/2 |
|
9 (9) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ultra game from the front when winning last week's 2m2f Musselburgh Gold Cup (good to soft); effectively 4lb lower with Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb, but she had a very yard race and this rise in class may find her out. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gained a second career success at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in January; has come back from a six-month absence in excellent form, coming in a close fourth of nine in 1m4f AW Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; holds good claims off an unchanged mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (10) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a long losing run over C&D in January; resumed from six months off with a good second of six over 1m5f here three weeks ago; well in the mix eased 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
In good order here when last seen at the beginning of the year, winning over 1m4f in January before being beaten a head over today's distance the following month; holds claims if ready to roll after a break. |

11-race maiden under both codes and only recently changed hands for 1,200gns after pulling up on his handicap debut over hurdles. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on both Flat starts for this stable in the autumn and showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden hurdles this spring; may fair better now handicapping but others have more obvious claims. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't progressed from a good 2yo effort and he holds weak claims on Flat/hurdles form for current yard; however, may be capable of a resurgent display, with this contest being far from strong. |

2nd 8 (4) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Thrown in on his old Flat form and he was beaten less than 2l at Bath (1m6f, good) in June; no impact when returned to hurdling last month but he's hard to rule out back in this sphere; wore visor on penultimate run but all three wins have been without headgear. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Regressive on the Flat and has 0-8 strike-rate over hurdles; not beaten far when fifth in first-time visor (now removed) on latest Flat start in June and returns to this code on a workable mark but others have more appealing profiles. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par at Ripon (2m, good) last time but failed to settle and she was progressive previously, finishing third of 13 at Salisbury in August following a break (1m6f, good to soft; unraced on softer); retains potential; dam was a Listed winner on soft ground for connections. |
13/2 |

6th 9 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Much improved since sent beyond 1m2f and back to something approaching her best when close up after a break at Salisbury (1m6f, good to soft); in the mix. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Much improved since sent beyond 1m2f and perhaps ready for a break when turned over at prohibitive odds in a three-runner race at Lingfield (2m) in June; has an 8lb higher mark to deal with now but could still have improvement in her; all turf runs on good or faster. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame in all four handicap hurdles but was well held when third at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't fire on the Flat last month; probably needs to be perked up by a change of headgear here (usually wears cheekpieces) and Sean Quinlan appears to favour stablemate Expert Analysis. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) but he was runner-up on the Flat at Yarmouth (1m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last October; has made the frame over hurdles in recent starts but others look stronger. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
15-race maiden under all codes but has reached the frame on all three occasions since switched to handicap hurdles; down another 1lb and back in trip, but needs to find more to open his account. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-7 for James Horton but she finished second in turf handicaps over 1m4f and 1m6f last season; sold for 27,000gns in October; likely to stay 2m and she's not fully exposed; interesting. |
7/4 |

9 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Went close on handicap debut at Leicester (1m4f, good) in July but hasn't been at the same level on either outing since (1m4f, AW/good). |
