27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when close second to Quick Of The Night at Worcester (2m, good) this month; one to consider. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Sole win was in May 2023 but that was a clearcut success over C&D (good); still 3lb higher than for that win but she's had only two runs for current yard and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter last time; should get a good tow into this race and she's in the mix back at this track; tongue-tie reapplied and wears first-time cheekpieces. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Only won the once and that was over two years ago, over 2m on good ground off 3lb lower; one of the favourites for recent stable debut at Ffos Las but was beaten when departing late on; that run was after a break and she could be sharper all round this time. |

First run since leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero when fifth of 12 in handicap at Sedgefield (2m1f,) 17 days ago; while that doesn't necessarily mark him down as a winner in waiting but he has dropped back to the mark he defied at Huntingdon in February. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
His near-9l fifth in this race last year (behind Clean Getaway) came at the end of a fairly busy spring/summer campaign; defied longer absence than today's for April's Sedgefield success, but yet to convince this higher sort of mark hasn't compromised him for further win purposes. |

Lightly raced mare who made pretty good start to handicap career when third of ten at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) three weeks ago; should be okay on today's faster ground and may still have a bigger run in her; respected. |

7th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Seemed to be lit up by first-time blinkers (retained today) at Worcester 12 days ago, racing clear but folding late on; that was at least a step in the right direction but not enough to make her of great interest in this. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won by 23l on stable/hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good) last June but was expensive to follow afterwards and has been pulled up on her last three appearances; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here; leap of faith required to support her at present. |

13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |

Dual Flat winner in France, both on slow ground, who's completely lost the plot over hurdles since a Hexham win last summer (pulled up on her last three runs, all in cheekpieces); would want to see some support back from a short break. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time hurdle winner but he generally struggled over fences in the autumn and was tailed off back in this sphere at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) last month; needs to get back on track but he's 6b lower than for his last win and he's 3-3 over C&D. |

Won four times over hurdles at up to 3m, all on good/good to soft, latest at Kelso in May (3m, good); not as good over fences so far, having pulled up on first occasion and finished 33l behind runner-up Sir Carnegie at Sedgefield last time (3m2f, good to firm); visor replaces cheekpieces; should improve. |

Bettered inauspicious handicap debut and arguably ran a fair bit better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, having made a forward move from the rear on the final circuit; drops back in trip here; interesting. |
