17th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won 2m Stratford maiden (good to firm) in July; not obviously ahead of his mark in handicaps since but has done enough to think he can be involved back on a less testing track than at Exeter last time; not far away. |

Stratford maiden winner who was returning from wind surgery when a staying-on second at Ludlow (2m handicap, good); flattered get to 2l behind Brendas Asking who runs in the 3.00, but he was clear of the rest; today's stiffer track promises to suit. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Looked rusty after seven months off when last of seven in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap last month; this course winner can build on that now. |

Soft-ground win last summer came off a 4lb lower mark and he's entitled to need this at his age back from seven months off; trainer also saddles Bulldog Spirit. |

Won over 1m4f here in June (soft) and got upset in the preliminaries before finishing tailed off on his return visit; was running well when falling back over hurdles; entitled to be involved. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Acts on fast and heavy ground; dual course winner, more recently when clinging on by a short head in December (2m2f, heavy ground); back on the same mark today but he's struggled in his last two runs and needs to get back on track. |

21st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Better for a break and wind surgery when a keeping-on 10l second in a Plumpton 0-110 latest (2m, good; hampered last); doesn't get the longer trip that performance hinted may suit, but down in grade and mark unchanged. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
1m4f winner in France; not beaten far in maiden and handicap company over hurdles at about 2m; had wind surgery since a backward step in a handicap last time (September) and the betting could be informative after a break. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1lb below sole winning mark, but very lightly raced since joining this yard and failed to beat a rival at Newbury (1m1f, good) last month; probably best watched on AW debut. |
33/1 |
|
14th 10 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1-10 over 2022 and 2023 for Ralph Beckett, with a soft-ground win over 1m2f, but modest over hurdles in 2024; fourth of eight for new yard in a 1m2f handicap last July was a partial revival but that was his only race last year and he needs to build markedly on it; tongue-tie (worn as a hurdler) returns. |
20/1 |

3 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Soft-ground winner in 2023 for Ralph Beckett; failed to transfer that form to hurdles last year for Anthony Honeyball; market instructive on debut for Marcus Tregoning. |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Placed in Wexford bumper for Willie Mullins last summer (yielding to soft); left that stable after two lesser bumper runs and has not shown much in three maiden/novice hurdles this year (2m-2m4f) but makes handicap debut off a lowly mark and is a possible improver over the new trip. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
11-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) and she's struggled at massive prices in her six hurdle races; long way out of the weights again and can only be watched back in trip. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
