21st Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ten-race rules maiden who hasn't been at his best the last twice and could perhaps do with a step back up in trip; however, he continues to drop down the weights and may have a part to play in this weak race. |

25th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles but he ran some respectable races last August-November and soft ground may not have suited at Wetherby last month when back from a break; edging down the weights and could be a contender. |

6th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done most racing this year over 1m and hasn't looked to see it out in a couple of runs over middle distances; long odds-on to blow the start and there are risks involved from 2lb out of the handicap. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Pulled up after racing too freely on handicap hurdle debut in October and finished last when back on the AW in refitted cheekpieces (retained here) last month; difficult to enthuse over. |

8st 13lb |
Lost his maiden tag at Beverley (1m4f) in June but he was pulled up over hurdles at Carlisle when last seen out in October; he needs to bounce back. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Gained two of his five hurdle wins over C&D and was second off mark 7lb higher than today's when making stable debut in this race a year ago (good); lost his way afterwards, though, and absent since heavy fall in November. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Five-time winner for Mark Walford who was runner-up at Hexham (2m, good) in May on his stable debut; however, pulled up there on both runs since (2m, good/good to soft) and returns from a break with something to prove. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Second of nine to Blended Stealth here last month but dropped out very tamely a week ago; capable of going well but can be up and down. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in a bumper and three hurdle races in 2022, and makes his handicap/chase debut after a 521-day absence; however, his 6l Irish point win in April 2022 bodes well for his prospects over fences; market may guide. |

24th Aug 2022 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Joined Donald McCain after Irish point win in April but has made a low-key start to his rules career and riding arrangements suggest Largy Reach is the stable's main hope here. |
