17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Seemingly back in good form when placed at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June but not much has gone to plan since; soundly beaten when upped to 2m4f in August and has further to go here; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor; not the percentage call. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
No paragon of consistency but Taunton winner in February (2m3f, made all, first time in a visor) and also ran well at Newton Abbot in June; heavy ground probably to blame when pulled up here latest; often leads. |

Won a novice handicap with a first-time visor at Taunton in February (2m3f, good) and fair third in ordinary Newton Abbot handicap two runs back (2m1f, good); cheekpieces now tried; soft ground perhaps not ideal. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Placed lots of times over hurdles but won only once in 24 attempts; hasn't been close to his best this season and he's not bred for fences. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-23 over hurdles, the win gained in 2023; out of form at around 2m this season but this longer trip might suit him better now and he has slipped to a very good mark; worth a glance in the betting. |

Fairly useful on the Flat but 0-6 over hurdles; ran well when fifth on return to this sphere at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but was below that form on his latest outing and his stamina heads into unknown territory here; others preferred. |

Down the field in sole bumper and well beaten on her three hurdle starts; improvement needed but she's in top hands and goes handicapping off a basement mark; interesting, all the more so if strong in the betting. |

29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |

Half-sister to winners including the stable's smart jumper Irish Saint; disappointing in a bumper last March and heavy defeats in her two hurdle races this term; Mullins Bay looks the stable first string. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Half-sister to five winners, notably the stable's smart jumper Irish Saint; didn't live up to market expectations in sole bumper in March and she made a low-key start over hurdles at Exeter (2m2f, good; tailed off) last month; still very early days but she needs a transformation on this switch to slower ground. |

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. |

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. |

Soundly beaten on all four starts but he was returning from a long absence when mid-division on last month's handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); he's in good hands and there's potential in his pedigree, and he could show the benefit of that latest outing with a big run today. |

11-race maiden but he's dropped some way in the weights and was close up when he fell two out at Exeter (2m, good) in March; tongue-tie is now added after a short break and he could be dangerous. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Fair start to hurdling career in autumn 2021 but hasn't gone on from that and failed to threaten in handicaps last autumn on last two starts. |
