15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m-extended 2m4f); has returned from a break with two solid Flat seconds but disappointed over hurdles at Fakenham in May in between; player if back to his best. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good) and twice on the Flat in 2025; looked as good as ever when second on the Flat over C&D (AW) last month, after a break, and is respected. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up here a month ago; opposable at this level. |
40/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all, winning unchallenged in a Catterick claimer (2m, good) in March, changing hands for £12,000; failed to beat a rival on the Flat at Southwell (1m3f) on first start for this trainer the following month, and pulled up on chase debut next time; returning to hurdles is a sensible move. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Can do too much in front but no alarms when making all in a Catterick claiming hurdle for Jennie Candlish in March (1m7f, good); out of a half-sister to a minor chase winner, but not bred for this job otherwise. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who is yet to race beyond an extended 2m1f; however, she ran okay when 14l third here (good to soft) in January and continues to drop down the weights; stable in fine form on the Flat; not ruled out. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; has failed to improve this term for new stable but is being given a chance by the assessor, having dropped a total of a stone in the weights; may step up on her Newcastle effort behind Kazar Forez. |

Dual hurdles winner hasn't distinguished himself in three starts over fences; not a bad run on the Flat at Dundalk when last seen; makes handicap chase debut. |

Debut fifth at Down Royal a fortnight ago doesn't leave her far off Golden Temple on collateral form involving the winner Annie Agnew. |

1st Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 190y |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 12lb |
Four wins in Britain for Ian Williams at 1m2f on all sorts of ground; yet to find form for this stable; new headgear combination tried after 8.5l defeat at Fairyhouse latest. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f (three times off a mark of 71); nothing for this yard until midly encouraging fifth at Bellewstown (1m, soft) on penultimate; didn't build on that at Sligo. |
25/1 |

9th 1 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
10st 2lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f; nothing for this yard at big odds until mildly encouraging run at Bellewstown last time; drops in class now and has his ground, worth a market check. |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 11y |
10st 0lb |
Most of her runs have been at this track recently but has been regressive and not easy to fancy. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Minor promise at Sligo on latest but beaten 13l and extended record to 0-8 over hurdles; down 1lb but this step up in trip needs to eke out a lot more. |
