24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Went up 5lb for beating an exposed rival at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft) but he still ran well in a Class 3 at Newbury (2m6f) that didn't go entirely like clockwork; he could yet raise his bar higher; much respected. |

3rd 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
An improving chaser who did well to overcome a late mistake and get up at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft); he is 5lb higher for beating an exposed rival that day and this represents a harder assignment; still commands considerable respect. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fontwell maiden hurdle winner in May 2024 who's been competitive since handicapping over fences this term, bang there when coming down two out at Haydock (2m4f) in December before finishing runner-up in staying chases at Huntingdon and Warwick (all good to soft); drop back in trip probably no bother and he's a firm contender once more. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has taken well to fences this term and opened his account when scoring over C&D (soft) in January; ran up to that form when runner-up back over C&D and at Kempton since and must hold sound claims. |
15/8 |

2nd 5 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Back in much better form with a success and creditable second at Plumpton (3m1f) in last two starts; still has low mileage over fences and may be capable of further progress; upped in grade but receives plenty of weight all round; possibilities. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won over hurdles here (2m4f, good) last spring and he made it third time lucky over fences when landing a C&D handicap (soft) last month; up 5lb but he hit a clear personal with that comfortable win and he's still unexposed at this trip; strong contender. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won a point before joining this yard for £10,000; ran well for a long way at Hexham before weakening (2m7f, good); this flatter track could suit and Sean Bowen is booked. |

5th 4 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
2-12 in points but took ten attempts to add to his maiden success, though had earlier shown a fair level of ability over hurdles; returns to this sphere after last month's easy point win, after which he was purchased for £10,000; worth considering off a workable mark back over hurdles on stable debut. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Placed on all six hurdling starts for Stuart Crawford (once here) and has won a point for his new connections this year but returned to racing under rules with two below-par runs this spring (2m5f/2m7f); drops back in trip for this handicap debut; needs to up his game. |

Underwhelming in three handicaps over hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) but has slipped in the weights and this former pointer could be more effective as a chaser; has each-way hopes. |
