19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Successful once during a spell over fences that ended poorly; two attempts back over hurdles represent no improvement on previous form in this sphere; difficult task in this field, despite receiving weight all round. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June and ran well when back over hurdles there (2m4f, good) this month; remains on a workable mark and is 2-2 at this track; shortlisted. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Might have won over fences here in June but for a bad late mistake (2m4f, good) but, while her Grade 3 assignment at Galway can be forgiven, she was never at the races last time at Perth; could appreciate returning to hurdles and her mark is fine. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Back from a long absence to justify favouritism at Perth in April (2m4f, good) where she came from off the pace to hit the front when left clear at the last; up 6lb but consistent in the main and wouldn't be exposed just yet. |
9/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
This is her first run since November 2024 and she needs to prove how much ability she retains; however, this lightly raced 6yo is on a competitive judged on her handicap form in autumn 2024 and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the betting on her return to action. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Been around a bit and has regressed sharply for this yard, mainly over hurdles; Sapphire Sirocco looks the more likkely of the stable pair. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won maiden hurdle in 2024; best effort for a long time when third of 11 here (2m7f, good; closely matched with Pike Road) in June but he was beaten too far in one previous chase start under rules, at Taunton last November, to have confidence now back over fences. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Yet to add to his sole win at Warwick (2m3f, good) over two years ago and recent evidence doesn't suggest a breakthrough is imminent; not dismissed completely but needs a revival. |
