3rd Jul 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has shown ability with her third-place finishes the last twice, latest at Redcar (1m6f, soft) on handicap debut; related to a few winners for her owner and remains open to progress; not ruled out. |

28th May 2024 Soft 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well held in her first two starts on the AW during the winter, but fared a bit better when third of five on turf debut at Doncaster (1m4f, soft) last month; open to further improvement now handicapping, but she didn't shape as though further would suit last time. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Tongue-tie went on for six-runner handicaps on his last two hurdle races (2m1f/2m) and he won them both; his last Flat race was in 2024 for Tim Easterby and that was a pretty solid campaign; acts on Tapeta, unraced on Polytrack; needs to be at his best on return to Flat but no shock if he's a major player. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Back to form in first-time tongue-tie when winning at Newcastle last time (2m1f, good; third has since won on the Flat); up 4lb; chance. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Hasn't kicked on since making winning hurdles/stable debut at Kelso (2m, juvenile) in March 2025, failing to see out races at Doncaster, Kelso, and Ludlow; hopes are pinned on a revival with an added tongue-tie; trainer is 5-11 (45%) over jumps here in the last five years. |

28th May 2024 Soft 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in three starts at around 1m on soft ground/AW for the Charltons last autumn; makes his stable/handicap debut (same owners) in a new headgear combination after 200 days off (gelded in the meantime); bred to stay and interesting to see how he fares in the market. |

24th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Little strength in the market before Salisbury debut (1m, soft) when showing no more than a glimmer of ability; entitled to come on for the run but this test might be on the sharp side for him. |

24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Began the year with three heavy defeats but has posted a couple of solid placed efforts over 1m4f since wearing blinkers; beaten too far out to blame the trip alone on sole 1m6f attempt; although he doesn't look the most straightforward, he's of interest. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (7) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Began the year with three heavy defeats but blinkers were added over C&D ten days ago (good to firm) and he ran much better, finishing second of seven behind a well-supported handicap debutant from a Newmarket yard; head carriage was a bit ungainly on that occasion but he'll be in the mix with a repeat. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (7) |
8th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Made the frame in four consecutive nurseries on the AW last autumn, but has shown little in three starts since returning from a gelding operation; may not have coped with the soft ground when beaten miles at Redcar (1m6f) last time, but still hard to warm to; blinkers are given a go. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Quirky sort but she got off the mark in this sphere in 1m7f handicap at Wincanton 43 days ago, despite being reluctant at the start; up 4lb but she still merits serious consideration. |
7/4 |

1st 6 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Went mighty close at Leicester (soft) in November despite pulling hard and her trainer blamed three fairly quick runs when she disappointed at Uttoxeter (also 2m, heavy) the following month; freshened up since and she can't be ruled out. |
4/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Low-grade Flat winner; yet to be placed after five hurdling starts but kept on from the rear for very respectable fifth of 14 over C&D (good-first-time tongue-tie) this month; considered each-way. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Disappointing on the Flat for William Haggas; ran well for a long way on hurdling debut at Fontwell (2m1f, soft) for Gary Brown in December but looked held before falling heavily at penultimate flight; returns from six-month absence for another new trainer. |
20/1 |
