15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice over hurdles at Newton Abbot on good during the summer; made a pleasing start over fences when passing three opponents on the run-in to claim third over C&D (good) last month and holds place claims. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2-9 over hurdles, both wins coming on good ground this summer after wind surgery; has to be forgiven a below-par effort last month but the switch to fences could bring improvement and he's one to consider. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles; ran well when third (albeit safely held) in higher-grade event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November but two lesser efforts have followed and the ground here is likely to be slower than he prefers. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made inauspicious start to hurdling career in March 2024, unseating rider when trying to refuse at third flight, but his second of 14 here (2m3f, good) the following month was much more promising and he returned from long absence with perfectly respectable run last month; makes handicap debut today; further improvement possible |

20th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
First foal; dam useful Flat/fair hurdle winner, half-sister to a smart Flat racer; 3-1 favourite at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) six weeks ago, running on well from the back for fourth of 11; that's modest form but she looks sure to do a good deal better, for yard which also has Brionywells; Jack Hogan is 2-3 for the yard in bumpers this term. |

29th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-8 on AW but adding a tongue-tie seems to have helped on last two starts, not far away in a Wolverhampton classified (about 1m1f) and he didn't look short of stamina upped to 1m6f in a handicap here since; thereabouts. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
An excellent Flat campaign last year yielded three turf wins under Rose Dawes from May to October and he's been in AW/hurdles action this winter; absent 11 weeks but has to be considered seriously. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Both hurdle wins have been here, the latest over this trip last April (good; off 3lb lower); three Flat wins since, including on soft ground; should go well. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four wins for two previous yards came from the front, three round undulating courses; finished last season on a downswing, though, and sold for 1,000gns since; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned on turf this term for new yard; had a good spell in June/July but has proved disappointing in two starts since; beaten favourite in last two AW attempts and now 3lb higher. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Prominent racer; won 1m2f handicaps at Leicester and Epsom in midsummer and ran well in his hat-trick bid here in July; weak in the market and ran poorly at Newmarket 24 days ago (raced too freely); more to prove on ground slower than good. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual hurdle winner and only 2lb higher than for his win at Hereford in December; however, didn't look a natural on last month's chase debut and was pulled up. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Struck form with two 2m hurdle wins in December (Ludlow claimer and Hereford handicap) but three lesser efforts have followed, including a well-held third of five at Ludlow last month; still 4lb higher than for his last success and something to prove on this switch to chasing; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |

Struck form with two wins in December (C&D claimer/Hereford handicap) but two lesser efforts have followed and he was behind Aim Straight on more recent occasion; needs to kick on again. |

Well down the field in both bumpers and was a 250-1 outsider when pulled up in early stages of recent hurdling debut (rider lost irons after awkward jump at first flight). |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
