30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Has three wins in this sphere and made a solid return when runner-up at Warwick (2m, good) ten days ago following a six-month break; should be thereabouts. |

2nd 3 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
In decent form when last seen in November, winning a seller at Huntingdon and not beaten far in a better race there subsequently; this looks a competitive race for his return to action but he is not discounted. |

2nd 5 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won this race in 2024 and has posted a couple of good efforts since returning from a layoff in the summer; major player if on song today but didn't really fire at Market Rasen last month and regular rider Alex Chadwick is on stablemate Mermaids Cave here. |

12th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Positively ridden returned to 2m4f here two weeks ago (good to soft) and didn't see it out quite as well as the front two; up another 2lb but looks sure to be involved. |

3rd 5 |
29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Last four runs have been at 2m on good ground, the pick when winning off 7lb lower at Warwick in May and his recent seconds at Uttoxeter and here; clearly in good nick but he's been down the field in his two previous 2m4f races under rules. |

2nd 1 |
1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Off the mark at Warwick in May (2m, good) and better form when second of five at Uttoxeter in June (form franked by the third); creeping up the weights but should remain a force at this level. |

27th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Picked up for 14,000gns after winning a Worcester hurdle (2m4f) for Shaun Lycett in the autumn; poor in two runs for this yard since and would want to see good support before considering him. |

10th 2 (11) |
17th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
One win each on Flat (2022 turf novice) and over hurdles (made all this September); left Shaun Lycett for 14,000gns before pulled up in a hurdle race seven weeks ago; some AW minor honours make this look a good mark. |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Formerly a fairly useful Flat-racer and came good over hurdles at ninth attempt, making all in C&D handicap for Shaun Lycett this month; recently changed hands for 14,000gns; interesting to see what new stable can do with him. |

Longstanding maiden who has finished tailed off in her last two runs; opposable. |

18th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden after 33 starts; shaped quite well on last month's stable debut over 2m here but tailed off at Newton Abbot since; Sean Bowen aboard but others have more pressing claims. |

22nd Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to score but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 2m handicap here in February; the winner and third there have both gone in since, so he's a player off an unchanged mark. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-16, but C&D second on October's return from two years out took course record to 322; longer trip excuses flop next time, but Windsor disappointment latest is trickier to forgive, unless he simply doesn't act on that day's good ground any longer; as likely to revive here as anywhere. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since September 2023 and untested on ground slower than good to soft but has a largely consistent record (albeit 0-9) over hurdles; returns on a good mark and with Sean Bowen booked; market reference recommended. |

Not beaten far when sixth of eight on this month's stable debut at Worcester (2m, good) but his recent Bangor run was a backward step and he's now 0-7 over hurdles. |

21st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

Fair Flat form in Ireland but just modest efforts over hurdles, including a 10l defeat on debut for this yard; may yet do better but others appeal more. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won over hurdles at Bangor in August 2023; should strip fitter for his first run in 616 days when sixth of eight at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month but may be best watched for now. |

Consistent once sent into handicaps until disappointing on his final outing in September 2023; something was evidently amiss given subsequent absence and trainer can get them fit at home; on a good mark. |
