26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Struggled in the spring for Andrew Balding and was sold for 2,000gns in July; tailed off on stable debut over C&D last month; visor goes on but can only be watched. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who is well treated on his 2m AW handicap form for Andrew Balding in early 2024 but he struggled this spring and was sold for 2,000gns last month; plenty to prove on stable debut. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Longstanding maiden under both codes but he was running well when crashing out two from home at Taunton 17 days ago (3m, good); enters the reckoning. |
7/1 |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Didn't fire on latest outing but began handicap hurdle career with encouraging thirds at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and Fakenham (2m7f, good); 4lb lower now and Philip Armson claims 3lb today; could have a say. |
12/1 |

3rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Fair stayer on the Flat (albeit a maiden); third in both handicap hurdles, more recently when upped to 2m7f at Fakenham (good) a fortnight ago, but needs to find something extra here; cheekpieces refitted. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three 2m wins on AW in the first half of last year; last success was off 4lb higher but the wheels have come off since the autumn and he was tailed off at Kempton (after another wind op) last month; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival. |
12/1 |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won three times on the AW in the first half of last year, the latest over C&D from 1lb higher in June; the wheels appear to have come off since the autumn, but he returns from three months off after a second wind operation; interesting to see how he fares. |

Scored over hurdles in the autumn and in good form on the AW since, neck second of seven at Southwell (2m) 19 days ago; he ought to be in the shake-up nudged up 1lb. |

2nd Apr 2024 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has been a useful stayer in his time but losing run is up to 16, despite him having fallen 21lb below his last winning mark, and last two efforts were well below his best; best to look elsewhere. |

Defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2022; however, recent form is nowhere near that level and he finished behind two of these rivals here five weeks ago; losing sequence looks set to continue. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

0-13; showed some early promise but seems to have lost her way and was well held on her return from a year off at Southwell in January; drops in class but still hard to warm to. |

9st 4lb |
2m win at Wolverhampton off 2lb higher when trained by Stuart Edmunds; well beaten at big prices in two runs for new yard after an absence; hood left off today (often pulled for former yard); risk attached. |
33/1 |

7th 3 (6) |
6th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Sole success from 15 starts came over 2m here (same mark) for Stuart Edmunds in January 2023; failed to make her presence felt (last of eight; first-time hood) when an unconsidered outsider on stable debut here over 1m4f last month; could strip fitter, but needs more. |
