11st 3lb |
Won four on the trot at about 2m4f in 2024, culminating in a Grade 2 novice; hasn't recaptured that form since returning from an absence and she's in another competitive race here. |

10st 4lb |
Won four on the trot in July-October 2024 at about 2m4f, culminating in a Grade 2 novice event; long absence before three runs this year, easily best of those last time and that display gave some encouragement for this longer trip, but jumping was sketchy and cheekpieces are now applied. |

Record as a novice last term featured two wins at Taunton and creditable second at Aintree; however, absent since pulling up in the Swinton in May (had wind surgery soon after); market instructive. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Irish point winner; left Nicky Henderson after one underwhelming bumper run in 2023 and has not shown a great deal in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles for new stable this summer, but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and ought to be suited by the step up in trip; worth a market check. |

Irish bumper winner who was in the same ownership when lasting one race with Nicky Henderson; ran okay on hurdle debut but finished tailed off the last time; best watched for now. |

11st 5lb |
Beginning to look exposed after six hurdle starts but ran a big race before weakening into third in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in May and has a good chance at the weights here; had wind op in June; tongue-tie added. |

Pulled up at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in March but back on song when running well for a long way at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month; remains relatively unexposed and has potential over this longer trip. |

11st 6lb |
16,000euros yearling out of a 14-race maiden under both codes; stable 0-18 in these races in recent seasons, but he was due to make his debut on a big card at Kempton card last month so must have shown something at home. |

Record of 0-6 in handicaps but is bred to be suited by this new trip and the first-time headgear looks another possible help; interesting. |

24th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 7yo who returned from a layoff with a fairly encouraging 2m run last month; needs that outing to have brought him on but he's on a workable mark, will be suited by the forecast good ground and is unexposed over this sort of trip. |

Bumper winner on good and a maiden winner on good to soft; feasible excuses for last two runs on account of ground/trip and now goes chasing with a pointing background; first-time tongue-tie. |

Unable to land any sort of blow when upped to 2m7f for last month's handicap debut and now has a point to prove but there was significant promise in his qualifying runs this summer (2m-2m2f); hood now added. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Left Dan Skelton after last summer's very disappointing handicap debut and has been pulled up (with various issues cited) on all three starts for current stable; has too much to prove. |

7th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Went backwards for Dan Skelton; offered little for his new yard last time, back from a second round of wind surgery, when said to have suffered with his breathing and been unsuited by soft ground; is hard to recommend. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Improved for staying trips on good ground as a hurdler, finishing a good second at Exeter and going one better at Ascot (both about 2m7f) in March; had more on his plate behind a progressive one at Worcester in May but even so he wasn't quite at his best; should have potential now chasing. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has form figures of 23421 since joining Jeremy Scott and he justified favouritism with a comfortable success at Ascot (2m7f, good) in March; up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that breakthrough win and he's open to more progress; respected. |
