25th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Departed early here 18 days ago; has become hard to predict and would prefer further ideally; there's also the major hindrance of being 10lb out of the weights. |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Won a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Hexham off a pound lower last June (soft); mixed form since, but fair sixth in a mares' novice handicap here last time (2m5f, good; Our Girl Sal fifth). |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-14 in points and 2-29 under rules, with chase record 0-6; very opposable on what he's been showing of late in handicap chases. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Career record reads 2-42 including 14 starts in points; finished a very long way behind Wheresmemoneygone at Perth (3m, good) last month, but even a huge weights swing makes him hard to fancy; tongue-tie returns. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Second of four in C&D (good) hunter chase in May, but the form isn't anything to go wild about and he was pulled up when back in a handicap at Hexham last month; others look much stronger. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Record of 3-39 over hurdles, latest win coming over C&D in March 2024 (heavy); placed on last five starts, last time beaten just over 2l in third to Tartan Cookie (who's now 2lb worse off) over C&D (good); solid each-way contender. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Dual C&D winner who has finished runner-up at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) and Wetherby (3m, good) in his last two runs; up another 3lb but he was only narrowly denied last time and remains well treated on his old form; key player. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Arrested decline when third in first-time blinkers at Perth (3m, good) last month but this 12yo remains without a win since 2023 and it's hard to tell whether the new headgear will continue to have a positive effect. |
11/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Second of four on stable debut here last May (3m2f, good); hasn't run quite as well since but is now on a career-low mark; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Returned from layoff with quite encouraging C&D fourth (albeit well held in the end) on soft ground last month but is getting long in the tooth and today's faster ground is probably not in his favour; headgear refitted. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Back-to-back wins (2m4f/2m7f) last summer and went in again at Southwell a month ago (3m, good; made most); didn't win with all that much in hand but only went up 4lb. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Recorded back-to-back wins at Perth (2m4f) and Market Rasen (2m7f) last summer; should strip fitter for his first run after nearly nine months off when third at Kelso (2m5f, good) last month and holds claims. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Won handicaps on good ground at Perth (2m4f) and Market Rasen (2m7f) last summer; returns after a 263-day break; interesting contender. |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Became very disappointing for Neil King last year and has been soundly beaten in two Flat races, a chase and a hurdle for new stable this spring; has huge amount to prove but still worth a glance in the betting. |

1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Flat, hurdle and chase winner at up to 2m4f; not ground dependent; below par in two Flat starts and a chase since joining this trainer; others preferred. |

11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Very versatile 9yo who has two chases among his seven career wins; signed off for Neil King with some disappointing efforts over jumps last spring and was well beaten on both Flat starts for new stable last month; considered only if lively in the betting. |
