31st Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Has won three of his last four hurdles, latterly edging home in the new cheekpieces at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) after Joe Anderson had lost his whip (still a fine ride; always ideally positioned up with the pace); mark continues to rise (up another 5lb) but he's not easily knocked. |

10st 5lb |
Wins in 2023 came in Class 4 events at Uttoxeter and Sedgefield (both 2m4f, good to soft) and the rise in class seemed to find him out when he was only eighth in the Lanzarote at Kempton last time; needs first-time cheekpieces to spark a career-best effort. |

10st 9lb |
Solid record in Class 4 this term, winning at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) most recently; 5lb claimer Joe Anderson (won on him last June) returns, in bid to offset 5lb rise; 4-12 over hurdles; upped sharply in grade but arrives in top form; shortlisted. |

9yo with six successes to her name; now 7lb below her last winning mark but not seriously threatening to take advantage, fading when fifth of seven at Hexham on latest; needs a revival. |

11st 13lb |
Took step back in right direction when respectable fourth at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 1lb below his last winning mark but still needs to build upon that recent effort here. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won over hurdles for three different yards, most recently at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July, but he's been pulled up in three starts for this stable and drops into a seller with masses to find at the weights. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Worcester winner for Ben Pauling last July (2m7f, good) but has been pulled up on both starts for Victor Thompson since, the first in a point, the second in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle; bit to prove. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |

With Ben Pauling when taking advantage of a light weight at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; changed hands soon after; pulled up on comeback at Friars Haugh (2m4f point; first time over fences); better to look elsewhere. |

10st 13lb |
Won a handicap hurdle for Micky Hammond, whom he left for £4,000; respectable first run for this yard at Lingfield (2m hurdle, soft) but he may still be a shade too high in the weights on this belated return to fences (won in France). |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Took to fences immediately at Stratford in May (2m7f, good; RPR 117), and running to the same level on far softer ground at Uttoxeter since was highly commendable; credible contender off an unchanged mark. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Took to fences immediately at Stratford (2m7f, good; RPR 117), and a 4lb rise for that narrow success isn't excessive; missed a subsequent engagement here due to soft ground, so the wet forecast has to be a worry. |
