3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Overall strike-rate of 1-28 and the win came over fences; 0-18 over hurdles and has to bounce back from some shoddy efforts; in cheekpieces and a visor for the last two and now goes in blinkers. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Has questions to answer after two disappointing runs in July but is very well suited by this C&D and competes off new career-low mark today; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; dangerous to ignore. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |

Only win was a 2m7f handicap chase at Huntingdon in May 2024; mixed efforts over hurdles and fences since but well beaten last of six at Bangor on latest start. |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-31 and not always a strong finisher under rules previously, but really dug in to wrest the prize back at Mollington latest (2m4f, good to firm); plenty to find on peak ratings but confidence restored at least. |

30th May 2024 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Not the best of strike-rates but sound run when second over fences at Huntingdon last time (2m7f, good); well handicapped at present; a possible back hurdling. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights since starting out in handicaps and was only 3l away at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in this first-time headgear combination; clearly capable of winning a race of this nature. |
5/1 |

2nd 8 |
8th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Made his handicap debut last March and is now 19lb lower, having been well held when he took minor honours on last three outings; probably stays 3m but arguably needs better than soft ground; tongue-tie and cheekpieces are now given a first go. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
13-race maiden; ran better than eventual 36l defeat suggests when today's headgear combination was used at Hexham (2m4f, good) last Tuesday but is effectively 5lb higher from out of the weights here. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
12-race maiden; beaten a combined total of 157l over hurdles in last three starts and fell at the first on her last attempt over fences; new headgear combination is tried; other runners are far more appealing. |

14th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-7 over hurdles; placed off 1lb higher at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in May but made low-key reappearance in recent C&D event won by Top Cloud; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces today; riding arrangements suggest Samatian is the stable's main hope. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Opened his account on second attempt over fences, over C&D (good; 20-1) 12 days ago, evidently suited by dropping back in distance; should go on from that and can follow up despite going back up 7lb. |
3/1 |

1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

0-6 over hurdles; lacked fluency and was well beaten when fitted with cheekpieces for recent chasing debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good); booking of Sean Bowen not enough to tempt today. |
