10th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Consistent and progressive since her attention was turned to fences and now 3-8; only had one rival to worry about in a 2m7f novice last time and made heavy weather of that, but even penalised this mare has every chance on all the figures. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Winning pointer/hurdler who progressed nicely over fences in the spring, landing a pair of 3m handicaps with ease; failed to justify favouritism in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) in June but has been given a break since and this drop back to novice company, along with a shorter trip, could provide the ideal platform to get back in the winning groove. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Was 0-4 over fences but has won her last two, doing it very easily over 3m here two months ago (good); it's hard to grumble with the 10lb rise given how easily she won and this 7yo mare is clearly improving. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Solid record (22112) having wind surgery, proving better than ever; beaten only half a length by Chasingouttheblues at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) most recently; firmly in the mix. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in December on third chase start and followed up at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft); climbing the weights but this 8yo is clearly on the up. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
0-6 in handicap hurdles but often ran well and was third of six at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March when last seen; runner-up in a point in February 2023 and his trainer's horses often improve when sent over fences; interesting contender on chase debut. |

Third or fourth over about 2m4f in three of his four completed starts in handicaps; fell mid-race at Musselburgh a month ago when returned to 3m; others might be better treated. |

6th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

From a good Flat family; positives to take from both his runs and did well to finish second at Taunton (good to soft) given how keenly he raced; must have a chance. |

2nd 11 |
20th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

From a good Flat family and shaped with significant promise when third over C&D (good) on debut 18 days ago; has a fighting chance if able to build on that performance today. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Yet to add to his four chase wins for Philip Kirby during 2023-24 season but has made the frame on all four starts for current stable since December, most recently when third of five at Newcastle (2m4f, good) nine days ago; tried in cheekpieces today; probably won't be far away. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
With Phil Kirby when left alone in a match at Kelso (3m, soft) in February 2024, that being his fourth (and most recent) win over fences; runner-up in this last year (beaten 11l) for Lizzie Quinlan; in the frame three times (Musselburgh) for Hugh Burns; competes from an easing mark, needing more. |
4/1 |

4th 1 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
On a two-year losing spell but looks reasonably solid, having posted two respectable efforts over C&D this winter for new yard; remains well treated on peak form. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Good-ground bumper winner; beaten on the nod in maiden hurdle at Newcastle (2m1f, heavy) in February 2024 and he wasn't disgraced when fifth of nine at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last autumn; not ruled out if ready to roll after nearly a year off. |

Handicap debutante who holds very weak claims on form (bumper/Flat); needs a transformation for getting a mark. |
