1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Unseated rider mid-race when well backed for Fontwell handicap six weeks ago and now 0-7 over hurdles; not one to give up on just yet but moves up in grade today and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

11st 12lb |
0-6 over hurdles but was a beaten favourite on his last three starts in March/April; below form on the Flat in three runs since but not one to give up on just yet; goes without headgear worn on last hurdles start and last two Flat runs. |

Raced mainly on good/firmer; proved game last month for a second C&D win; finished about 7l behind Fighting Poet here since, however. |

9st 9lb |
Hard to predict these days and losing run is up to 13, but he had an excuse over 1m5f last time and is now 4lb lower than for his C&D win (good to firm) last summer; could be dangerous back in trip. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict. |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1m2f win here in April in a consistent season, bar one blip; raced freely in the lead when she last tried this sort of trip (penultimate start) but she did well over 11.4f on soft when held up last October; each-way player. |
10/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Bar one blip she's been running well for George Scott and won over this trip at Haydock in April off the very same mark; last two runs weren't bad at all, having not got the run of things at Ripon and she raced freely when third at Catterick (1m4f). |

27th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed some ability at up to 9.4f on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes but struggled (albeit on good to soft ground) when upped to 1m2f for last month's stable debut; one of two hurdling debutants for Mark Gillard here. |
20/1 |

18th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Out of the frame in all six starts and was beaten a long way on stable debut here (1m2f, good to soft) last month; needs the longer trip and application of blinkers (has worn cheekpieces) to make a big difference. |
33/1 |
