9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over hurdles for Olly Murphy in 2023 but has lost his way and was tailed off over C&D (soft a possible excuse) last month after a long absence. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Won over hurdles for a different stable in summer 2023 but was badly out of form on the Flat for this yard last year and returns from 446-day absence with a lot to prove. |

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. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Two wins and a number of places to his name over hurdles; only 2l away on the AW 16 days ago when returning from a year off; handicapped to go well. |
13/2 |

4th 6 (4) |
8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Doubled his tally over hurdles when winning at Bangor last April and he was placed there on his next start; disappointing at Aintree when last seen 357 days ago and he's best watched on his return to this sphere. |
16/1 |
|

16th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 103y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Doubled hurdling tally with clearcut win at Bangor (2m, good) last month and was placed off today's mark there (good to soft) a few days later; Sean Bowen takes the ride today; likely contender again. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Not quite at her best this year but she was placed at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) on her penultimate run and is now 6lb lower than for her win at Uttoxeter last summer; could go well back in trip and she's not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Not quite at her best this year but has dropped another 2lb since last month's respectable third at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) and this move back up in trip won't be a problem; probably won't be far away. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who is usually ridden patiently; didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (2m, good) last month and is 2lb lower here; no surprise if she poses a threat. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Some promise in her second start over hurdles at Bangor (2m, good) last year but was below that level in two further starts for Donald McCain; bit to prove on stable debut; unraced on ground slower than good. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
0-11 over hurdles but returned from layoff/wind surgery with promising third of seven here (2m5f, good) last month and could have untapped potential over this longer trip; one to consider. |
10/1 |

28th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
No wins in 13; has each-way claims on his best form and has undergone wind surgery since last seen; could have a part to play if resuming in good order; 1lb out of the weights. |

17th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won two points (good to firm/good) towards end of last year but has struggled on all three hurdling starts since switching to current stable; big leap of faith required to support him here. |
50/1 |
|
7th 4 |
4th Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
2-2 in points but he was well held in three bumpers for Gordon Elliott last summer and has pulled up in both his hurdles; perhaps wind surgery can make a difference but he's not hard to take on. |
16/1 |

4 |
31st May 2023 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
2-2 in points but he was well held in three bumpers for Gordon Elliott last summer and was pulled up at 100-1 on his hurdling/stable debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in December; has something to prove on return and he needs a transformation. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Modicum of promise on hurdling bow in March but little since, and exited early last time; watching brief wisest switching to fences. |
