2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Both hurdles wins came at Bangor last summer; has made the frame on all three starts since and looks to have been crying out for this step up in trip; first-time cheekpieces worn last time are discarded; contender. |

2nd 2 |
24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Scored by 5l here (2m5f, good) in May and has remained in good form since (2m3f-2m7f); not yet proven on ground slower than good to soft or over this far but still features prominently in calculations. |
9/4 |

3rd 9 |
6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May and has been a good second on two of her three starts since (2m3f/2m4f, good; including here); unproven at today's trip but this lightly raced 6yo has stamina in her pedigree and is open to further improvement for her top trainer; key player. |

3rd Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-10 and aside from his third at Bangor (2m3f, good) in June, there has been little to enthuse over. |

4th 12 |
23rd Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
No threat to the front two when third at Bangor in June (2m3f, good) and then tailed off at Worcester; remains a maiden and needs to find extra. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Placed for first time in seven-race hurdling career when keeping-on third at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month but was no threat to the front pair there and needs to make further progress here. |

Safely held in first two handicaps but took step forward and ran well for a long way when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; another 3lb lower here and enters calculations. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Latest of his two wins was in 2021; runner-up over hurdles last May but very opposable on what he's done since; off 260 days before latest start when he was remote at 200-1; first-time headgear this evening. |
100/1 |

11th 7 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up over hurdles last May but this 8yo has struggled to get competitive on his four starts since, one of those being on the Flat; races for the first time since last September and others make greater appeal. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6-16 over fences, the latest win gained in this race a year ago (soft ground; also suited by good); returned from seven-month with encouraging run a fortnight ago and should now be teed up to defend his crown. |
16/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has a good strike-rate over fences (6-15), latest win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) nearly a year ago; not at his best late last year on last two starts; now only 1lb above that win and Finn Lambert's claim will help, but needs to bounce back after his break. |
16/1 |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Already has six chase wins under his belt but he hasn't been quite on song since the latest of them, at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in July; will do well to add to his haul in this race. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Hasn't stood much racing and returns from a 671-day break following wind surgery with a new trainer; lacks the scope of his rivals and best watched unless the market speaks in his favour. |
25/1 |
|
6th 10 |
9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Hasn't had a lot of racing and ran a positive first race for this yard with the tongue-tie added at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); didn't quite last home and he's down in distance; respected. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 12 |
22nd Aug 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Well beaten in both handicap hurdles for Sheila Lewis (3m/2m3f) and subsequently pulled up on chasing debut; difficult to fancy on that evidence but still worth a glance in the betting before this stable debut; tongue-tie added. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Cheekpieces haven't worked the last twice and now tries blinkers; his 10l third at Bangor last April when 9lb higher is not forgotten. |
9/2 |
|

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Below par on good ground the last twice but probably needs it softer, as when third at Bangor last April; 7lb lower than then so has to enter the reckoning despite his absence. |
