24th May 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won from the front over C&D (good) a fortnight ago on his second start since leaving Sir Michael Stoute; this lightly raced 4yo did it with something to spare and could take a 6lb rise in his stride; strong claims. |

9st 3lb |
Fair 1m maiden for Sir Michael Stoute in 2022 who subsequently changed hands for 50,000gns; gelded and off eight months before posting an encouraging third of 13 for his new yard in 1m2f Redcar handicap three weeks ago; still has few miles on the clock so he is very much in the mix. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair on the Flat when based in Ireland but unplaced all five hurdling starts there; made low-key stable debut (on the Flat) last month and has quite a bit more to prove than some of these. |
33/1 |

8th 8 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who brings a long losing spell to this debut for new yard, as it's three years since his sole win; finished second in a Dundalk claimer (1m4f) when last seen. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Losing run goes back to a turf success in April 2023; below form when sixth in a claimer at Roscommon in August; better when taking the same place at this venue 12 days ago. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Record of 0-4 this term for new yard but was placed under Shay Halton at Ripon on penultimate start and latest race didn't pan out favourably; has slipped to an attractive mark. |
10/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark but that was from August 2023; third at Ripon ten days ago was his best result this term but he needs much better than that form if he's to turn the tables on Spartan Times. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark, but his abbreviated career since the start of last year (including two starts for this yard) suggests he hasn't been easy to train; needs the switch to a visor to help him get back on track. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ran as if something was amiss last time; in good form otherwise this term and looks capable of being involved; however, he's still seeking a first handicap success away from Ripon. |
9/2 |

16th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Loves Ripon where he won again last month by a narrow margin; badly in under a penalty when a close third over 1m6f here 12 days ago and he's 2lb lower for this; can be relied upon to give his running and be seriously involved. |

Has never attempted this far on the AW before, but he has run well over similar trips on turf; losing run of 31 is a concern, though. |

30th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |

Course winner who comes here in good form, fourth of nine in 1m2f Chester handicap 16 days ago; she ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |
9/2 |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Useful mare who won three times on soft ground last year; often highly tried this year but creditable fourth back in a handicap at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) last week; reasons to think she'll run well but Stressfree is still the more appealing of the yard's pair. |
9/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Mixed form in Listed races on last three starts but she was a creditable fourth at York two runs ago (1m2f, good to firm) and she's won three of her eight handicaps (all on soft); interesting now back in a handicap. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Third in 1m4f handicaps at Musselburgh on her last two starts, staying on nicely on both occasions; drop back in trip on faster ground isn't sure to suit. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins came over C&D; hit flat spot but rallied for third under these conditions last week; obvious claims of turning the tables on winner Gemini Man given she was beaten two necks and has a 4lb pull; 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh enlisted too. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
A three-time C&D winner for Jim Goldie; much better signs for her new yard with sixth of 11 in 1m4f Hamilton handicap 18 days ago when set a lot to do; well in the mix if building on that here. |
12/1 |
