10st 10lb |
Three Flat wins for Michael Bell (at up to 1m6f, peak winning RPR 75); bought for 43,000gns last October; needs a close watch in the market ahead of hurdling/stable debut after nine months off. |

8st 13lb |
No impact in two runs for her new stable last month; should be well treated and interesting to see if she's stronger in the betting today. |

Won a 1m4f Flat handicap for Ed Walker in July 2022 and over hurdles in September 2024 for Richard Phillips; well beaten at Southwell (1m6f, AW; 20-1) on stable debut nine days ago and needs to leave that effort well behind. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three wins on the Flat; 0-8 as a jumper but was clear of the rest when a 7l runner-up at Stratford (2m, good) recently and something similar will see him on the scene. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner; returned from break with disappointing run four weeks ago but was close up in two handicap hurdles (both 2m, good) in this month last year and has good claims if back on song. |
9/2 |
|
8th 2 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
All three wins under rules on AW Flat; returns from a break and best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

1st Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Has run some fair races on the Flat for Andrew Balding and over hurdles since joining this yard, but is 0-14 under rules; drops in class for this return to the level, but others still look more solid. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 |
24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Another personal best hurdling RPR last time when about 7l fourth in a Perth handicap (2m, good to soft), though a bit surprising he didn't hit the line more strongly given he stays at least 1m5f on the Flat; further to travel returned to maiden company this evening. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 |
1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed some fair form on the Flat for Andrew Balding and seemed to be getting his act together over hurdles when keeping-on third in Stratford maiden (2m, good) last month; open to more improvement in handicaps and top amateur James King is booked today; unraced on ground slower than good. |

Backed out of contention rather quickly the last twice and several others are higher on the list; visor the headgear of choice. |

1st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Doesn't win very often but is usually there or thereabouts; fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) five weeks ago not amongst her best efforts and better will be required. |
