10st 8lb |
1-1 over C&D and won twice over 2m at Catterick (soft/good) earlier in year; well held despite making the frame in his last two starts and needs a bit more from this mark. |

Four chase wins, making all in two small fields at Catterick (1m7f, good/soft) last season; remains in good form and he's better over shorter than the 2m4f he ran over here last time. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner in 2024; returned from one-year absence with low-key hurdle run for new stable in July but shaped with a lot more promise at Perth last month and should now be at concert pitch for this return to fences. |
10/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles after a year off and he's likely to be back chasing (dual winner) sooner rather than later. |

11st 6lb |
Two chase wins wins at 2m1f (good to soft and soft) in early 2024; back on latest winning mark as a result of some lesser efforts, in cheekpieces last twice, but has something to prove at present. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Weakened to be beaten 22l last time at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and all his three wins have been at about 2m; wouldn't be the obvious answer no matter how well the new headgear works. |
25/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won for the third time over fences at Worcester in October (2m, good; by 18l); has a chance on that run but best form has been at shorter (jumped poorly when well beaten on last completed run at 2m4f); acts on good to soft but he's not a real mudlark. |
7/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Consistent sort who won twice over fences last term; stable's first runner over fences this season and may have more to give. |
