29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good) in July and has since added to his tally with a 2m AW win; unexposed over this sort of trip and might still be improving; respected. |

1st 2 (1) |
6th Sep 2023 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Has thrived over hurdles for this yard, winning a 2m3f maiden and a pair of 2m events in his last three starts; successful over 1m6f on the Flat in Ireland last summer and he's a big player off a workable mark back in this sphere. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up in two chases this season, after a layoff, and soundly beaten when back over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces three weeks ago; very well handicapped on old form but current ability is hard to gauge. |
12/1 |

6th 4 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced since maiden hurdle win in early 2023 and his pulled-up runs this year, when back from another lengthy layoff, don't recommend for this; cheekpieces added; major turnaround a must. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Southwell winner over hurdles in 2023 (2m, good to soft); best of his three chase runs was when third over C&D in July 2024 (good to firm); hung left and was pulled up on return from a 325-day break at Worcester in May; bit to prove now. |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner who won two handicap chases in a row last summer (2m1f, soft/good) before easy novice hurdle win at Bangor (2m3f, good); however, he hasn't been at his best on his three runs since and has to bounce back. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Went very close on last month's handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) then exploited good opportunity in modest Market Rasen maiden (2mf, good to soft) 24 days ago; probably still on a workable mark and further progress is possible; likely contender. |

20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Point/bumper winner; has shown enough over hurdles to suggest he can find an opening but likely to need improvement if he's to justify this mark on handicap debut. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; bounced back from a poor run when second at Plumpton (2m4f, soft; tongue-tie refitted) this month and new jockey Rian Corcoran claims a useful 6lb; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles and ran okay in his first two races after a wind operation before failing to give his running at Fontwell a month ago; would have a chance if he's back to anything like his best. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Drew clear to score in first-time visor at Fonwell (2m3f, good to soft) in March and is now 4-14 over hurdles; returns from seven-month absence on career-high mark but won when fresh last autumn; a possible. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Absent since a respectable hurdles effort (on stable debut) 15 months ago; quite interesting switched to chasing, having gained sole success in a point; market may offer further guidance. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Just a respectable fifth at Ludlow (2m5f, good; only run for Fergal O'Brien) in May and now 0-6 over hurdles but, having changed hands for £4,000, it will be interesting to see what Robbie Llewellyn can do with him; tongue-tie removed after one use. |
5/1 |

5th 7 |
12th May 2024 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1-5 in Irish points and 0-5 (modest form) for Tom Lacey over hurdles, having run over 2m2f and 3m1f in his two handicaps; last seen in November; makes debut for new yard following wind surgery (tongue-tie added too) and he might yet turn a corner. |

1st Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Has run some fair races on the Flat for Andrew Balding and over hurdles since joining this yard, but is 0-14 under rules; drops in class for this return to the level, but others still look more solid. |
7/1 |

24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Another personal best hurdling RPR last time when about 7l fourth in a Perth handicap (2m, good to soft), though a bit surprising he didn't hit the line more strongly given he stays at least 1m5f on the Flat; further to travel returned to maiden company this evening. |
3/1 |

1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Showed some fair form on the Flat for Andrew Balding and seemed to be getting his act together over hurdles when keeping-on third in Stratford maiden (2m, good) last month; open to more improvement in handicaps and top amateur James King is booked today; unraced on ground slower than good. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |

18th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

17-race maiden with little worthwhile form; has started at triple-figure odds on all five starts this year; safe to turn elsewhere. |
