7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Decent hurdler (2l last of four in handicap at Market Rasen last month); fair run when 3l seventh of 12 over C&D on latest AW start (September 2025); place chance. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
5-13 over hurdles, including back-to-back wins for Fern O'Brien at Ludlow and Huntingdon (both 2m) last October/November; fresh and keen on recent comeback run at Warwick (2m, good; sixth of seven, beaten nearly 15l); this Class 4 looks a better fit, assuming the rain stays away. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has a strike rate of 5-12 over hurdles but hasn't been seen since a below-par third at Ludlow in December; needs to raise her game to new heights having never won off a mark this high, but still commands respect. |

12th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won two in a row last June (2m) and he's much better than he showed in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m) in July last time; unraced on worse than good to soft and unproven beyond 2m1f, having pulled hard when tailed off in 2022 on one attempt at an extended 2m2f. |

3rd Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won off 3lb higher for Milton Harris 13 months ago (2m1f) but, following a spell with Sylvester Kirk, was well beaten on last month's stable debut (2m); has a lot to prove on this first venture beyond about 2m4f. |

10th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Milton Harris a year ago but both recent runs for Sylvester Kirk were disappointing and he needs to have been perked up by latest stable switch; cheekpieces refitted. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Much improved for Tom Lacey last season when a three-time 2m hurdles winner; off six months and made a promising start in this sphere with third of five in 2m1f handicap at Stratford 32 days ago, running on late under a patient ride; one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |

Four-times winning hurdler making a belated debut over fences after six-month break; hard to fancy unless there is a move in the market. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-6 since returning from long absence for new stable this spring; only fourth off today's mark at Worcester (2m, good) last month but possibly had a bit too much use made of him there; remains very much of interest. |

Record of 0-5 since switched to fences but turn looks near, having finished second at Wetherby and Newbury the last twice; however, needs some improvement to go one better in this stronger grade. |

3rd Oct 2022 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Not prolific but his win came on Tapeta and he has dropped a long way in the weights; no surprise to see him go well and looks the pick of Tony Carroll's three runners. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went close at Windsor (11.5f) in May and she was winning her fifth race when landing a 1m4f Brighton classified (also good to firm) going away last Monday; 4lb penalty makes things trickier back in a handicap but she's not discounted. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid effort back on turf early last month but below that level on both starts since, most recently when well beaten over C&D yesterday; nearly three years since her last win. |
4/1 |

8th 9 (7) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Close second on turf return at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month and remains on a workable mark but her latest run was disappointing and it's nearly three years since her last win. |
6/1 |
