12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled last season on final three runs for the Newland/Insole yard; however, he won off 4lb higher at Bangor (2m4f, good) last April so has a handy mark to work with if a change of scenery has prompted a revival; new yard is enjoying a good month; remains in the same ownership. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won off 1lb lower at Bangor (2m4f, good; also suited by soft) last Apri but has suffered three non-completions since then and was well beaten when he did get round; clearly capable of a big run but comes with a good few risks. |

Pulled up in two of his four chases but first and second in the other two, with the win coming in a small field over C&D (good); this looks a better race. |

2m hurdle winner (good) who showed improvement this time last year, his best effort coming over C&D (good to soft); has gone backwards in five subsequent starts, punctuated by wind surgery; back down in grade but revival needed. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Progress as a hurdler has flatlined, but he's 5lb below his highest winning mark on Tapeta, and although yet to record an RPR above 56 in four Flat turf starts this is easier than any of those; cheekpieces added. |
25/1 |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Travelled strongly when third of six on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June and he won over staying trips on the Flat which suggests he may have potential at this distance; however, he has to bounce back from two below-par runs over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good); unraced on slow turf. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly promising fourth on hurdle debut in March 2023 and this lightly raced 8yo is one to watch in the betting following an absence; however, he made no impact when sixth late last year in his first two handicaps. |

11st 8lb |
In the frame in two Irish points in 2021; mainly modest form over hurdles, including on handicap debut here in November (2m4f, good to soft); stable in fine form and he's likely to fare better now upped in trip and switched to fences. |

12th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

No more than minor promise over hurdles but this is his first time outside of novice company and is entitled to show more; cheekpieces added to the tongue-tie tried last time; market vibes awaited with interest. |

Came in second in a Newcastle bumper for James Ewart in November but he beat only one on his hurdling debut at Wetherby (2m) last month; much more is required for his new yard. |

16-1, second of eight for James Ewart on debut in Newcastle bumper (2m, soft) in November and has since changed hands; makes stable/hurdle debut with new yard among the winners and he's one to consider. |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Tailed-off favourite at Cartmel early last month but that may have come too soon, seven days after she completed a Hexham double (both 2m7f, good; one of them under Paddy Barlow); lightly raced under rules and this soft-ground point winner could have more to offer. |
100/30 |

2nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 4 |

Won at Hexham (2m7f, good) on June 3 in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and easily made all there (2m7f, good) last Sunday; won on soft going in a point; a 7lb penalty may not stop her if her fine form continues. |
