19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Successful once during a spell over fences that ended poorly; two attempts back over hurdles represent no improvement on previous form in this sphere; difficult task in this field, despite receiving weight all round. |

11st 9lb |
Won over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June and ran well when back over hurdles there (2m4f, good) this month; remains on a workable mark and is 2-2 at this track; shortlisted. |

11st 13lb |
Might have won over fences here in June but for a bad late mistake (2m4f, good) but, while her Grade 3 assignment at Galway can be forgiven, she was never at the races last time at Perth; could appreciate returning to hurdles and her mark is fine. |

11st 11lb |
This is her first run since November 2024 and she needs to prove how much ability she retains; however, this lightly raced 6yo is on a competitive judged on her handicap form in autumn 2024 and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the betting on her return to action. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten in three runs for new stable (Flat/hurdles) this spring; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival; blinkers return and visor is removed. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten on both starts for new stable last month (hurdle/Flat); might be aided by refitted visor and/or first-time tongue-tie here but has lots to prove. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Flat and dual hurdle winner during busy summer for James Owen last year but well beaten (over hurdles) on stable debut on Tuesday and returns to the Flat with quite a bit to prove. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Sole success over hurdles came here over two years ago and his best effort came when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last July; well beaten in three runs since, the latest on chase debut at Taunton in November; cheekpieces worn last time are left off and doesn't appeal for win purposes. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Did not progress after winning 2m3f maiden in spring 2024 but ran big race in defeat over C&D (good) in July and is probably still well treated after subsequent 3lb rise; raced only on good/good to soft. |
