5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 141y |
9st 8lb |
Useful juvenile hurdle winner in 2023, scored again early last year; 0-4 on the Flat but shaped well on opening two runs on good ground; handicap debut and new headgear combination tried on first Flat run in over a year; yard has excellent recent record in this race so has to be respected, despite more obvious claims of stablemate Billie Frechette. |

Is 2-8 over timber but yet to prove he's as effective at this sort of trip and arrives on the back of six-month absence; doesn't look well treated on what he's achieved in the last 12 months. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up here a month ago; opposable at this level. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all, winning unchallenged in a Catterick claimer (2m, good) in March, changing hands for £12,000; failed to beat a rival on the Flat at Southwell (1m3f) on first start for this trainer the following month, and pulled up on chase debut next time; returning to hurdles is a sensible move. |

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. |

11st 6lb |
Won a juvenile fillies' handicap at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April; no joy back on the Flat since but she's still unexposed over hurdles and could resume her progress back in this sphere; respected with Rachael Blackmore booked. |

Improved for drier ground when winning a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Cheltenham's April meeting when last seen; placed in two of her four Flat races on turf and she's handicapped on slow-ground form; interesting under these conditions now switched to a handicap. |

30th Sep 2024 Yielding To Soft 1m 7f 135y |
11st 7lb |
Dual-purpose maiden; rated 110 after five runs over hurdles; best effort in a maiden at Galway in October 2023 when a 6.25l third of 10; out of form in last two runs on the Flat and difficult to know what to expect from him here; others are preferred. |

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. |

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. |

Hurdle/chase winner who has won four times on the Flat since moving to current yard earlier this year; lacks recent match practice over jumps and that could count against him in this competitive a race. |
