29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two non-handicaps on good ground at Worcester last summer; placed in two of his three handicaps and there's improvement in his jumping; not ruled out, despite the absence. |

11st 1lb |
Dictated a steady pace when winning a C&D novice by 4l last time, having previously finished a close third on handicap debut (4lb lower); he was useful on the Flat and may have more to offer as a jumper. |

2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only three runs over fences but already a better chaser than hurdler; well on top to win at Wincanton in November (1m7f, good; 5lb lower) and the softer surface at Ludlow (good to soft) was a feasible excuse next time; absent since December but likely to go well. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from one-year absence with low-key run in 2m4f maiden hurdle last month (raced too freely) and is now 0-7 in that sphere; entitled to have benefited from that outing but needs this switch to chasing to enable improvement. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double (2m6f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when winning here for Dan Skelton last August; she's run some reasonable races since for this yard but was a well-beaten second of two finishers at Fontwell recently. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 |
24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Led close home to land quite valuable prize for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer; not at same level on any of three subsequent starts for new stable but ran well for long way when fourth of five at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month, after a break, and may be better suited by this shorter trip. |
13/2 |

4th 4 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Signed off for Dan Skelton with two wins last summer (about 2m6f); shaped well on stable debut when third at Newcastle in November but pulled up at Chepstow three weeks later, both at about 3m; off 150 days but she's won off similar breaks in the past and not ruled out if back on song. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has shown ability on good ground over hurdles and fences but was disappointing when last seen here in November; has since had a wind op but needs to step up if he's to win this. |

0-7 under rules for Tom Ellis but ran well in defeat on last month's chasing debut at Hereford (3m1f, good); recently changed hands for £6,000; drops back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted on this stable debut. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Went close in the last of his three Irish points; 0-7 under rules but he's been placed a couple of times including in a maiden hurdle (2m, good) in May; returns after 128 days off but yard is in good form and he needs watching in market on handicap/chase debut. |

Placed on stable/hurdle debut at Stratford (2m, good) in May but that form isn't anything to get too excited about, and he was disappointing when well-held fourth over 2m2f there last time; tongue-tie refitted. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Promising start to career in Ireland in 2023 but very lightly raced since and he struggled over hurdles and on the Flat on his three outings last year; returns from an absence and is probably best watched. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Bought for 72,000gns after shaping well in slow-ground Irish Flat maidens (1m2f/1m4f); however, was tailed off over hurdles for Jamie Snowden and finished well behind in a 1m2f maiden on debut for this yard. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten on all four starts over hurdles, most recently his handicap debut, and he could do with settling better; however, he may have needed that latest outing and has potential off this basement mark in view of his fair Flat ability; not ruled out in weak race in first-time tongue-tie. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Very useful Flat-racer who seemed to take pretty well to this game when second in three-runner juvenile hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good) in November; well beaten in valuable Epsom handicap on Derby day but still looks interesting on return to this sphere. |
11/2 |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Often highly tried for previous stable; with new yard since September, for which he's had three races; second of 13 when 40-1 over C&D (good) in April, which he failed to live up to at Ascot three weeks ago but that was when tried in a hood (now discarded); bit to prove on softer than good. |

11th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Often highly tried for previous stable; runner-up in both outings (hurdle/Flat) for new yard, latest at Epsom (1m4f, good) where he was no match for the winner but ran creditably; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time hood. |
