20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (July and October); missed 2024 and ran over fences on both starts for new yard this year, not disgraced on first occasion but tailed off on heavy latest; has a good mark if he's straight back to his peak returned to hurdles. |

25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Signs of retaining ability, while seeming to need the run, at Ludlow (3m) this month on stable/seasonal debut and second chase attempt; may step up on that effort; nicely handicapped on best hurdles form. |
7/1 |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up in June 2023 on sole chase start and absent since that November; however, he's on a handy mark on his best hurdle form for Peter Bowen and he's one to watch in the betting on his stable debut. |

30th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
14-race maiden but often thereabouts and seemed to try hard enough when going down by only 2l at Newton Abbot the final time (3m2f, soft); versatile tactically and unlikely to be far away. |

Should be well handicapped but he looks cold as ice at the minute and has the most to prove of these. |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten a long way over C&D in the spring before a better showing from the front in a 3m2f hurdle round Fontwell; is some way down the pecking order for a yard also responsible for Nadim. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
He was looking when regressive even before pulling up in his first two runs for this yard but ran better at Taunton (2m3f, good; ridden by Kayla Ruddy), where he was no match for the front two but did come from well off the pace; possibilities; 1lb wrong. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Out of sorts at the end of last term for Robert Stephens and he's been pulled up in handicaps (around 3m2f) at Fontwell and Warwick for his current yard this year; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
20/1 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner but the latest was back in November 2023 and it's been a long time since he posed a serious threat; pulled up when a 3-1 shot for last month's stable and seasonal debut at Fontwell. |
