11st 7lb |
Won a 2m5f soft-ground handicap hurdle for Oliver Sherwood earlier this year and very nearly doubled his tally back at Fontwell on final appearance in May (3m2f); joined this yard for £22,000 and entitled to be involved. |

10st 12lb |
Off the mark over hurdles when winning going away here (2m5f, soft) last month; lost a shoe when third at Southwell (good to soft) since; up another 2lb and again in trip, so likely he'll need further improvement. |

23rd Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Four wins (2m5f-3m, good/good to soft) from his nine chase starts for Laura Morgan; not disgraced from lower hurdle mark at Huntingdon on last month's stable and seasonal debut; could build on that performance now back chasing and with the tongue-tie reapplied. |

30th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Improved to win two good-ground handicap chases (2m6f/3m) before getting stuck in the mud at Hexham (2m4f, heavy); returns to hurdling off what should be a good mark on stable debut; goes on good to soft. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Strong stayer who notched up three wins from February to April, though took a backward step last time over C&D off this mark; however, she's not out of this if repeating previous efforts with Oscar Palmer taking a valuable 3lb off her back. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In fine form having won her last three races, one at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) and the others over 3m3f on good at Sedgefield (Wee Alki second on both occasions); up 7lb for latest win, but a possible. |

Repelled Wee Alki here three weeks ago and now has form figures of 1431 over C&D; a 3lb rise shouldn't be too damaging. |

11st 4lb |
14-race maiden but often thereabouts and seemed to try hard enough when going down by only 2l at Newton Abbot the final time (3m2f, soft); versatile tactically and unlikely to be far away. |

12th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Best granted a sharp, flat right-handed track, but present attainment level uncertain having overraced in front on November's seasonal return here (debuted blinkers are retained); from the family of Hand Inn Hand and Tom Brodie, so may yet take to his new vocation of chasing. |
