in touch with leaders, outpaced over 2f out, soon rallied and good headway on near side of group, led over 1f out, went clear inside final furlong, easily |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Disappointing favourite and co-favourite in his first two handicaps but has turned a major corner with blinkers fitted for his two starts since, winning at Salisbury and Newbury (both 1m4f on good to firm); first off the bridle turning for home last time, before leading on the post, which sees a switch of headgear today (off 6lb higher mark) but also a step up in trip which has to make appeal; leading player. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Disappointing favourite and co-favourite in his first two handicaps but the blinkers went on at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and he won that six-runner race in good style; 8lb higher today but may have turned a corner and has to be taken seriously. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Raised her game again this season, including a Doncaster handicap win (1m4f, good); appeared to show improved form again in Listed race last time, which can be questioned as she was a never-dangerous sixth of seven at 25-1 but her mark is unchanged. |
16/1 |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Readily saw off her five rivals in a Doncaster handicap (1m4f, good) last month and turned in another solid effort behind Santorini Star at Goodwood latest; it's hard to see why the tables would be turned on these terms though. |

4th 8 (4) |
23rd May 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |

Rarely runs a bad race and has won two of her last three, latterly in gritty fashion at Doncaster (1m4f, good); up 4lb in a stronger race here but hasn't looked back since the hood went on (131). |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Flat and hurdles winner but already a far superior chaser; jumped well in front (although sometimes to the right) when completing a handicap hat-trick at Doncaster (2m, soft) six weeks ago by 17l; firmly on the up and deserves his chance in this higher grade. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner but he's looking a far superior chaser; bumped into a very smart novice on his chase debut and has since won two handicaps, the latest over C&D by some 8l (soft); an 8lb rise could have been worse for one firmly on the upgrade. |
7/4 |
|
1st 3 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; very solid form at Newbury (2m, good to soft) since switched to fences, finishing a good second (behind subsequent Grade 2 scorer) prior to going one better in a race that is working out nicely; may well have more to offer in this sphere and warrants major respect. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Out of the frame in all four starts since returned to the AW, but his fifth of ten over 1m2f here in December suggested that all may not be lost; now 6lb lower than for that effort and 8lb lower than when last successful; interesting. |
11/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 6lb lower than for his two turf wins last May, but he's finished down the field in last six starts and last three have been at this track (1m2f/1m4f); others preferred. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
First-time hood (also worn on second start this term) when ending last season with a narrow 7f AW novice win; never going on handicap debut in June (1m, good) but keeping-on fourth of seven at Sandown (1m2f, good) was better; needs to build on that too but it may be possible, raised in trip again. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Sole win was in a Haydock novice two years ago; plenty of good runs for new yard this season but he was disappointing at Windsor on Saturday and needs to bounce back on this quick turnaround. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken quite well to hurdling, winning then third over 2m1f at Cartmel in the summer; carries a penalty but should be thereabouts. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken well to hurdling, just shaken up to beat six rivals over C&D (soft) last month; open to improvement and should go well under a penalty. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Signed off on the Flat for Jane Chapple-Hyam with 2m AW win in January (RPR 80) and was very much in contention before final-flight unseat over C&D (good to soft) on stable/hurdle debut in May; Richie McLernon presumably had the pick of the two stable runners in this race; shortlisted. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out. |
14/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |

Lost his way over hurdles last year and made only a mildly encouraging return to the Flat when keeping-on fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time hood) last month; not the most obvious answer. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

Lost his way over hurdles, running poorly in two runs back from a break last November; the usual cheekpieces are replaced by a first-time hood and it's hard to believe he's still up to this sort of mark on the Flat. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 11lb |
Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft). |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |

Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer. |
