5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 141y |
9st 8lb |
Useful juvenile hurdle winner in 2023, scored again early last year; 0-4 on the Flat but shaped well on opening two runs on good ground; handicap debut and new headgear combination tried on first Flat run in over a year; yard has excellent recent record in this race so has to be respected, despite more obvious claims of stablemate Billie Frechette. |

Is 2-8 over timber but yet to prove he's as effective at this sort of trip and arrives on the back of six-month absence; doesn't look well treated on what he's achieved in the last 12 months. |

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. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Claimed out of Jennie Candlish's yard for £12,000 after winning over hurdles at Catterick last time; could go well but looks no certainty to follow up, being 0-12 on the Flat (mostly turf starts). |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
No win since August 2024 (Ballinrobe, 2m2f; for Jessica Harrington) but has finished runner-up on both visits to this track, including when racing too freely on return from a seven-month break over 2m4f (33-1) latest; top-rated, and dropping back in trip should suit; key player. |

11st 6lb |
Won a juvenile fillies' handicap at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April; no joy back on the Flat since but she's still unexposed over hurdles and could resume her progress back in this sphere; respected with Rachael Blackmore booked. |

Improved for drier ground when winning a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Cheltenham's April meeting when last seen; placed in two of her four Flat races on turf and she's handicapped on slow-ground form; interesting under these conditions now switched to a handicap. |

30th Sep 2024 Yielding To Soft 1m 7f 135y |
11st 7lb |
Dual-purpose maiden; rated 110 after five runs over hurdles; best effort in a maiden at Galway in October 2023 when a 6.25l third of 10; out of form in last two runs on the Flat and difficult to know what to expect from him here; others are preferred. |

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. |

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. |

Deserved his C&D win in an amateur handicap last October after several solid displays; doubts raised by subsequent form but still merits respect in a race of this standard. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Usually races prominently; won four of his six starts for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) in April; has excuses for the two defeats, on latest occasion fifth of 17 in the 2m2f Chester Plate despite the work he had to do to front-run from wide draw; one to note. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; getting hampered at the start prevented his usual prominent ride on penultimate outing but he's otherwise swept all before him for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) 12 days ago; has 3lb penalty (the same as he's due to go up anyway) but wide draw is the chief worry. |

Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; 3-3 on AW (1m6f/2m) last month upon joining this stable, before a lesser show three weeks ago when getting hampered at the start prevented his usual tactics; not ruled out on return to turf. |
