24th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
4-16 on AW and 0-11 on turf, with no joy on either this year but there were two minor honours; acts on soft, probably on heavy; others have more pressing claims, including as she is unraced over this far. |

14th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Four AW wins include two here over shorter; has so far drawn a blank in 2024 but hasn't been running badly and she's been bang there on her two previous runs over C&D. |

She ran respectably off this mark in two starts last month, third behind an unexposed rival at Southwell last time (second and fifth have won since); should remain competitive and this is slightly easier than last time. |

19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Overcame trouble in running to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off an 8lb higher mark (then trained by Alice Haynes); patchy record for new stable but his best run for them came over C&D and Tom Queally's only ride for the stable in 2024 (before this evening) finished second; can go well. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Out of sorts for his handicap hurdling debut at Punchestown in October when last seen over timber but has previously finished runner-up in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, good); Flat return at Limerick when third was encouraging for his chances here. |

Completed a double over C&D off 5lb higher last January for Jack Jones but he's struggled in three starts since joining this yard following a long absence; back up to 1m with a bit to prove. |

Completed a double off 3lb higher here (1m) for Jack Jones last January but he's had only three runs since and has been out of sorts for new yard this spring; finished in rear behind Fat Gladiator over C&D last time and he has plenty to prove. |

12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |
14/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |

3 (6) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |

4th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Promise when second of eight in a 6f maiden at Doncaster in May on her second start; has not matched it since, over trips ranging from 5f to 7f, and although she met some trouble here 16 days ago, she wasn't doing anything in a hurry at the time; step up in trip needs to spark extra. |

Her second at Doncaster (6f, soft) in May stands out a mile from her other four performances; beaten about 12l over 7f (Tapeta/turf) when going handicapping on last two starts; now tries headgear. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Almost three years since he won and does most racing over shorter; gone well fresh before but pulled hard the only time he's tried this far and will want to settle early back from four months off; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn from last intended start in January (9-1 at the time). |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Four-time AW winner who had lost his way but bounced back with a narrow defeat on stable debut over 1m2f here a month ago; unraced over quite this far but couldn't rule out. |

2nd 7 (9) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Four of his five wins have come on the AW including one here (7f); losing run up to 24 and makes his stable debut after seven months off having changed hands for 1,000gns in February; market should reveal what is expected. |
