29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Dual point and dual bumper winner; opened hurdling account with ready success in Stratford maiden (2m, good) in July but safely held twice since (2m3f/2m2f) and will need to do better here. |

Won two points and as many bumpers; beaten at odds-on first time over hurdles but made amends at Stratford (2m, good), albeit in workmanlike fashion; carries a penalty but he's held in high regard by all accounts. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent over fences since last summer but won over 2m4f in the autumn and went very close over 3m1f in April (also on good ground); taken off his feet in a strongly run race last time and now reverts to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces; big player if on a going day. |

18th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |

Quite lightly raced 7yo who has pretty solid record in good-ground contests over fences; scored at Kempton (2m4f) in the autumn and ran big race in defeat at Hereford (3m1f) last month, after a break; also suited by this track; good chance. |

Never looked dangerous when well-held fifth here (2m, soft) last month, after a break, and now 0-10 over hurdles; getting back on good ground ought to be in his favour but others have more pressing claims. |

Three wins over hurdles; won a 2m handicap chase quite well here last August but beaten 17l on either side of her fall at Ludlow (2m4f), where she was in contention four out; might be better for a break and hard to dismiss. |

19th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Lightly raced maiden; easy to back at 18-1 and had no excuses when only fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on his switch to handicaps; pedigree at least offers hope for him staying this longer trip. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Just five career starts and now makes handicap debut; no real threat in two British starts over hurdles but may well have more to offer now going up in trip; improvement needed but possible. |

3rd 3 |
28th Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Struggled in two points in a maiden hurdle in Ireland this spring but displayed minor promise when fifth on recent stable debut at Stratford (2m, good) and should have more to offer. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind. |
8/1 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Now 0-20 over hurdles but was bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and when beaten nearly 20l the last time he got pressured up front; unlikely to be far away. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-19 over hurdles, which could be the bottom line, but he's been placed on four of his six starts this season, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on good ground over C&D and Stratford's 2m6f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; looks set to be seriously involved again. |

Rewarded very patient Gavin Sheehan ride when winning here (2m3f, good to soft) last month but has a very mixed record this year and her current mark probably demands a career-best performance. |

Likely unsuited by soft ground last time and is better judged on her respectable form earlier in November; however, has something to prove back over 2m, having looked best at 2m3f/2m4f. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
He was looking when regressive even before pulling up in his first two runs for this yard but ran better at Taunton (2m3f, good; ridden by Kayla Ruddy), where he was no match for the front two but did come from well off the pace; possibilities; 1lb wrong. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Out of sorts at the end of last term for Robert Stephens and he's been pulled up in handicaps (around 3m2f) at Fontwell and Warwick for his current yard this year; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Three-time hurdle winner but the latest was back in November 2023 and it's been a long time since he posed a serious threat; pulled up when a 3-1 shot for last month's stable and seasonal debut at Fontwell. |
