11st 10lb |
Won twice in novice company for Stuart Edmunds last year but became very disappointing for that stable during the winter and posed no threat when reappearing for new trainer last month; has a lot to prove. |

10st 13lb |
Went close on his Flat debut (September 2022) but regressed afterwards and left Brian Meehan for 9,500gns this July; remains to be seen whether hurdling will float his boat. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Bumper form was nothing to shout about, with her latest third a remote last; others are much preferred. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 5f 159y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Travelled well for a long way when a 7l sixth at Kempton (2m, good to soft) on his debut in February but he failed to build on that when out the back at Fakenham last month; others preferred. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Finished sixth of eight at Kempton (2m, good to soft; 14-1) on her debut in February but she travelled smoothly for a long way and was only beaten around 7l in the end; should benefit from that experience and she's not ruled out. |

1st Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish bumper winner in August; dramatic exit on last month's stable/hurdle debut at Huntingdon; possibly best watched for now. |

In a first-time tongue-tie when winning a soft-ground bumper at Kilbeggan and the runner-up won a maiden hurdle last month; should win more races for new connections. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
No longer the force of old but consistent in recent months; went up 2lb for finishing second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month but was 11l clear of the third and the winner followed up under a penalty soon afterwards; must be considered. |
7/4 |

2nd 2 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Three hurdle wins, all at around 2m on good/soft/heavy; decent third at Worcester last time (2m4f, good); without a win since November 2024 but is now on a 12lb lower mark; could go well. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ran okay in the new visor last time at Cartmel but ran better the time before in a Class 4 at Newton Abbot and he's now back in that grade; Sam Twiston-Davies takes over from a claimer. |
