29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Went close in this last year (soft) and now 10lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled to get competitive since, most recently over C&D (soft) four weeks ago following wind surgery; a visor replaces cheekpieces. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Just held on to make winning stable debut over C&D (soft) in December but failed to build upon an encouraging reappearance run when tailed off at Market Rasen last month; others have more persuasive profiles. |
10/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just held on to make winning stable debut under Jessica Milly Smith at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December and returned from break with fairly good fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; will also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; no surprise if he features. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August on penultimate run for Robbie Llewellyn and he scored on his stable debut at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; he didn't look straightforward on that latest outing but this course winner is entitled to respect nevertheless. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won maiden hurdle in January 2023; however, this 10yo is 0-15 since and hasn't shown enough of late to suggest he's the one to be on today. |
12/1 |

4th 7 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won a Musselburgh maiden hurdle for James Ewart in January 2023 (3m, soft); has run mainly over fences since (beaten 20l when third of five at Sedgefield last time); hard to know how he will fare now back hurdling. |

17th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Built upon promise shown for Rebecca Menzies when winning Musselburgh handicap (2m4f, good to soft) by 24l on last month's stable debut; tackles stronger opposition and has penalty to carry here but still respected. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Showed enough in qualifying runs to be competitive on handicap debut at Sedgefield but found little (2m5f, good to soft); left Rebecca Menzies since; still time for better but takes on high-flying rivals. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Still to win a race but she showed improved form when upped to 3m at Ayr in February (good to soft; cheekpieces first time, retained); up 3lb but still has time to do better. |

2nd 5 |
27th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up in a bumper and on hurdling debut last year but soundly beaten in first three handicap hurdles (2m-2m4f) and not really bred to benefit from today's step up in trip; cheekpieces (worn three starts ago) are given another whirl. |
20/1 |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Showed promise when runner-up in a bumper and on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft); things have gone rather pear-shaped since but heavy ground is a possible excuse for latest two defeats; had wind surgery since; not dismissed. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

0-14 over hurdles and just 1-12 in points; third in five consecutive restricted points since February but most of those were small-field affairs and others in this line-up have more pressing claims. |
