19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Drew clear to clear by 9l over C&D (good) in April, his third hurdling success, and is now only 2lb above that mark but looked out of sorts on his latest outing and is not one to rely upon heavily. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when scoring by 9l at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April and also has a C&D success on his CV but was unable to land a telling blow on his two starts at Hexham last month and needs to kick on again to overcome current mark. |
12/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Reliable 6yo who has continued in good heart since scoring at Catterick (3m1f, good) in January and produced a career-best when back on the scoresheet at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; failed to land a blow over C&D latest and has something to find with My Boy Christy, though he remains one for the shortlist in the context of the race. |

2nd 4 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has mixed record for this stable since last autumn but returned from break to cause 25-1 surprise over fences at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) this month and is now 2-6 for the yard; it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again here but he has a lower mark over hurdles. |

1st 6 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Good and bad in five runs for current yard, all of which were at Fontwell and Fakenham; soft ground was probably against him last time and he stays well. |
7/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten over hurdes here on last month's stable debut but kept on well for clear second behind Of Corse I Can over C&D (good) when back over fences three weeks ago and will be suited by the forecast slower ground today; respected. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Came good for Harry Derham at second attempt, at Warwick (3m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in June, form that has been well advertised by the clear second since; didn't get home after racing too freely at Stratford last month but remains one to be interested in. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Safely held when odds-on for stable debut at Warwick (2m5f) in May but, with a tongue-tie fitted, made amends over 3m2f there (also on good) last month; came clear of the others with a progressive rival that day and could still be well handicapped after 5lb rise. |
15/8 |
|
1st 8 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Just 1-16 over hurdles when trained by Evan Williams and was unable to justify odds-on favouritism when only sixth of 12 here (2m5f, good) on last month's stable debut; may yet come good for Harry Derham, though, and this move back up in trip will suit; wears refitted tongue-tie; gained her win on good to firm but has form on good to soft; 3lb wrong. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a point in the spring and is 2-4 since returned to racing under rules for new stable, the latter win gained off today's mark on chasing debut here (2m6f, good to firm) a week ago; likes to make the running, and could be hard to catch on this quick return to hurdling. |
6/4 |

1st 3 |
12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won the second of two points in April before being sold for £10,000; got off the mark over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month when making all; well held at Worcester subsequently but must be of interest on chasing debut. |
7/2 |
|
7th 9 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Winning pointer; gained a first success under rules on just his second run for current yard in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle 22 days ago; up 7lb but not taken lightly. |
9/4 |
