15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a C&D novice handicap in May (good) and creditable second, also over C&D, next time; could go well but was a long way behind Betty's Tiara when back after a short break at Worcester last time; blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in May, after a break, and ran at least as well there three weeks later; pulled up at Newton Abbot in June but spreading a plate during the race might excuse that; considered. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-13 but ran well on his second race back after a year's absence when runner-up here (2m7f, good) last month; fair fifth at Worcester since and the drop back in trip may be in his favour. |
8/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Maiden hurdler but has twice threatened in handicaps, last time going close over Uttoxeter's 2m7f; that was his second run after a lengthy break; up 4lb. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts for Clare Hobson, albeit not disgraced when fourth in two spring handicaps (2m7f/2m4f, good); improvement required on stable debut (same owner). |
12/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Runner-up in an Irish point but only modest form shown in this sphere, finishing fourth of eight in 2m7f handicap at Uttoxeter last month; needs to build on it. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In the money but well beaten in his last three starts; cheekpieces are now applied and they need to have a significant impact for him to be successful. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Some bumper promise; well beaten in his four hurdle races, upped to 3m at Uttoxeter (good to soft; 9-1) 11 weeks ago when a remote fourth on handicap debut last time; needed plenty of riding that day; early days but he needs to raise his game, markedly. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced gelding who left former yard for £5,500; only four ran when second on chase debut at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) but ran well and didn't go unbacked. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 |
5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts for Billy Aprahamian, the latest in May (sold for £5,500 soon afterwards); needs significant improvement on this stable/chase debut but good market support will make him of interest. |
