30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Maiden point winner at the 11th attempt prior to winning stable debut at Bangor (3m, good; refitted tongue-tie) four days ago; carries a penalty and drops back in trip but looks a big danger. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-10 over hurdles when based in Ireland and it was her 11th run in a maiden point there when prevailing by a neck on good ground last month; now with top stable for this chasing debut, though, having recently changed hands for £5,000. |

11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish pointer; benefited from the step up to this trip when winning by 8l here in early June and a slow pace back over hurdles found him out three weeks ago, though didn't run badly; 8lb higher than for both those runs but still has higher hopes than some in here. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
1-11 in Irish points; sold to join current yard for £2,000 in March and finished last of six on British debut, back over hurdles, at Taunton (2m3f, good; 125-1) in April; an altogether different proposition when stepped up in trip over fences when skating up here (3m2f, good; 28-1) nine days ago in cheekpieces (retained); has the same mark today back over hurdles and is a fascinating contender. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Appreciated the step up in trip when landing his second race over fences at Stratford (3m3f, good) last month; up 5lb and needs to back that up over this slightly shorter distance. |

10st 8lb |
Sole success over fences came at Chepstow in March last year off 2lb higher; soundly beaten since and steps up to beyond 3m for the first time; down to a career-low mark and needs this extra test of stamina to bring out improvement. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Ended last season with three poor runs but is now 3lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) in cheekpieces just over a year ago and might be boosted by the returning headgear. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his sole win off this mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last June but has been tailed off on his last two starts; would be considered if operating at his best but needs to sharpen up. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Limited hurdler who was pulled up on chase debut in January; subsequent pointing exploits aren't overly compelling. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Absent since a respectable hurdles effort (on stable debut) 15 months ago; quite interesting switched to chasing, having gained sole success in a point; market may offer further guidance. |

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. |
12/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Faring better since the switch to handicap hurdles, if again shaping as if the sharp course was against him when 12l third at Fakenham latest (3m, good); ought to find Hexham a better suit switching to fences, and one half-brother made a winning chase debut. |
