19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
4-7 over hurdles and he posted a personal best when winning in a small field at Worcester (2m7f, good to soft) five weeks ago; may still have some untapped potential; major contender in first-time cheekpieces. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Completed hat-trick with ready win on handicap debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) in November; ended 2024 with a lesser effort and was safely held when upped to 2m4f for reappearance in April but may still have potential over this even longer trip. |

Brought up his hat-trick on handicap debut at Aintree in November (2m1f, good) and his following run at Doncaster off this 7lb higher mark looked too bad to be true; arrives here fresh and may well have further improvement lurking. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
C&D win in late 2024 (heavy) initiated a double; today's the first time since that he's returned below the mark of the second leg; have to hope confidence hasn't been sapped entirely by this term's heavy defeats. |

Three-time hurdle winner last season, most recently off mark 1lb lower than today's in this race (heavy); chasing has not gone to plan this term (three attempts) but he might fare better now back over hurdles. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Couldn't fault her momentum last year, rising from a mark of 88 at Uttoxeter in July to 102 when scoring readily at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in October; found life tougher in better races (Wetherby and Cheltenham) thereafter; this is equally tough, but she could strip fitter for C&D comeback run. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Has won three races this season, the second over this C&D in September; up in the ratings and off since November; may be better for the run. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Better than ever since joining this stable, winning three of her last four races; easily beat four rivals at Hexham (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago and an 8lb rise should not stop her being competitive again. |

11st 8lb |
18-1 winner of a C&D maiden (good) last August but pulled up on handicap debut (2m4f) next time and was tailed off back on the Flat (first run after wind op) on her return in May; still lightly raced but has some questions to answer and others are more convincing. |

Lightly raced 5yo who scored over hurdles last August and had wind surgery since running poorly in September; has weak claims on Flat form but may improve off her opening mark; heed the market signals. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |

Regressive on the Flat nowadays and has shown only minor promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m2f) this summer; moves up in trip and sports refitted blinkers on handicap hurdle debut; improvement needed. |

Went close in good-ground Irish point on debut in May and changed hands for 48,000euros soon afterwards; has pretty good standard to reach on hurdling debut but he's an interesting recruit for Tim Vaughton. |

Irish point winner; left Nicky Henderson after one underwhelming bumper run in 2023 and has not shown a great deal in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles for new stable this summer, but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and ought to be suited by the step up in trip; worth a market check. |

11st 1lb |

Front-runner who won four in a row last July-September (2m4f/2m2f, good) and his Newmarket trainer does very well here; however, he went off the boil on his final two outings last year and he's unproven on slow ground. |
