9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
A fair 2m6f/3m2f hurdles scorer for Syd Hosie in 2023; off 22 months and offered little for his new yard when beating only one in 3m Chepstow handicap 24 days ago; others are much preferred. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Four-time hurdle winner (2m-3m2f, good/good to soft) but not since 2023; absent since well-held sixth at Plumpton (3m1f, good) for Syd Hosie in April 2024 and can only be watched on this stable debut. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made it 2-4 over fences when he pulled clear with the second at Southwell (3m2f, good); no reason why he shouldn't be very competitive off 4lb higher. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |

Defied an even longer break at Hereford in November (3m1f, good) off only 1lb lower and his following run was just as good; could easily leave his latest below-par run behind. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
1-19 over hurdles and 1-14 as a chaser; returning from 310 days off when tailed off in a handicap hurdle at Warwick and not easy to side with on the back of that. |

Ex-Irish 8yo with a strike-rate of 2-33; ran well in three chases for Mel Rowley last year but returns to hurdles following an absence and probably best watched. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Overall strike-rate of 1-28 and the win came over fences; 0-18 over hurdles and has to bounce back from some shoddy efforts; in cheekpieces and a visor for the last two and now goes in blinkers. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Has questions to answer after two disappointing runs in July but is very well suited by this C&D and competes off new career-low mark today; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; dangerous to ignore. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made low-key stable debut over hurdles last month and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on subsequent chasing debut; 2lb wrong for this quick return to hurdling but it won't be a surprise if he gets his act together for his respected new training partnership soon; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles three weeks ago and is now 0-12 in that sphere but it won't be a surprise if he comes good for his respected new training partnership soon; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers on this chasing debut; 2lb wrong; watch the betting. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Recorded only success in point in April when the sole finisher; sold for £8,500 since last run; poor claims on rules form; market may offer further guidance on stable debut. |
10/1 |
Verdict
There are ifs and buts about all of them. Key Commander (second choice) and Flemen’s Tipple would be players if their fitness could be assured on their first run since the spring. They need a close look in the betting but preference is for SAN PEDRO who ran twice in the autumn and could be on his way back to form.[Richard Austen]
