10th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Unplaced in his first six starts but the seventh saw him land a significant gamble over C&D in April (made all); unable to repeat the feat next time but still ran respectably; probably needs shade more in this company. |

Of the mark (seventh attempt) with a front-running win under Jay Tidball in a Bangor handicap (2m, good) last month; up 7lb but he landed a gamble with that clearcut success and is open to more progress; highly respected. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins at Ludlow; kept on for second behind progressive rival there (2m, good) last month, after a break, but may not be ideally suited by this switch to a left-handed track. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Suited by good ground; proved resurgent when last seen five months ago, enhancing a strong C&D record that also features wins (off 2lb lower) in this race in 2023 and 2025 (faller in 2024); very solid claims kept to this scenario. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hurdle win in May (2m, good); poor form on the Flat since August, failing to progress for handicaps on last two starts; should benefit from the step up in trip and he has run well on soft going over hurdles; risky but there are grounds for expecting better dropped in class. |

Not beaten far when eighth of ten over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last month, after a break, but has not made any significant progress since winning hurdle debut in autumn 2022 and will need to up his game on today's chasing debut; pulled up the only previous time he wore cheekpieces. |

Improving mare who won Fakenham maiden (2m, soft) in pretty good style last month, her third start over hurdles; open to further progress in handicaps; shortlisted. |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Sister to Edwardstone; close up on bumper debut round Southwell's sharp track and she ran better than the bare result on return from break behind a long odds-on shot at Exeter in February (2m, good to soft); of interest for yard that is 7-24 with hurdlers here in last five years. |

12st 0lb |
Made all to win this race in pretty good style off 3lb lower in 2025 (heavy ground) and returns here after making the frame on both starts this year (2m5f, good to soft/soft); ought to make a bold bid. |

Lightly raced mare who made pretty good start to handicap career when third of ten at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) three weeks ago; should be okay on today's faster ground and may still have a bigger run in her; respected. |

10st 10lb |
Placed off 11lb higher on handicap hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m, good) just over a year ago but returned from layoff with two down-the-field runs this spring and needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces here. |

6th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Fair form on the Flat at up to 1m4f for Jessica Harrington; subsequently had wind surgery but mainly disappointing over hurdles, although on a lowly mark now. |

Fell short in three handicaps at 2m-2m5f for previous yard last spring; had wind surgery since and a tongue-tie now replaces the hood; no great appeal back from layoff unless the betting says otherwise. |

Struggled after racing too freely on handicap debut in March (2m4f) and was unable to land a telling blow when fifth in first-time hood at Bangor (2m, good) last month; remains unexposed but stable's other runner Hollow Run appeals much more. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
