3rd 1 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good) and twice on the Flat in 2025; looked as good as ever when second on the Flat this month, after a break, and is respected, albeit the nagging concern is that he ran poorly on his only previous visit to Fakenham. |

9st 12lb |
Scored twice over hurdles last autumn and he notched another success in 2m Chelmsford handicap in November; off since but yard is going well so he can't be discounted. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Can do too much in front but no alarms when making all in a Catterick claiming hurdle for Jennie Candlish in March (1m7f, good); out of a half-sister to a minor chase winner, but not bred for this job otherwise. |
8/1 |
|
9th 5 (9) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Claimed out of Jennie Candlish's yard for £12,000 after winning over hurdles at Catterick last time; could go well but looks no certainty to follow up, being 0-12 on the Flat (mostly turf starts). |
10/1 |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
No win since August 2024 (Ballinrobe, 2m2f; for Jessica Harrington) but has finished runner-up on both visits to this track, including when racing too freely on return from a seven-month break over 2m4f (33-1) latest; top-rated, and dropping back in trip should suit; key player. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who is yet to race beyond an extended 2m1f; however, she ran okay when 14l third here (good to soft) in January and continues to drop down the weights; stable in fine form on the Flat; not ruled out. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; has failed to improve this term for new stable but is being given a chance by the assessor, having dropped a total of a stone in the weights; may step up on her Newcastle effort behind Kazar Forez. |

Dual hurdles winner hasn't distinguished himself in three starts over fences; not a bad run on the Flat at Dundalk when last seen; makes handicap chase debut. |

15th Sep 2023 Yielding 2m 1f 153y |
10st 7lb |
Debut fifth at Down Royal a fortnight ago doesn't leave her far off Golden Temple on collateral form involving the winner Annie Agnew. |

10st 1lb |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
10st 2lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f; nothing for this yard at big odds until mildly encouraging run at Bellewstown last time; drops in class now and has his ground, worth a market check. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |
9st 6lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f; well treated on that form but he's failed to beat a rival home in four runs for this stable; hard to fancy. |
50/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 11y |
10st 0lb |
Most of her runs have been at this track recently but has been regressive and not easy to fancy. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Minor promise at Sligo on latest but beaten 13l and extended record to 0-8 over hurdles; down 1lb but this step up in trip needs to eke out a lot more. |
