28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts. |
4/1 |

3rd 11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark in her first turf handicap when keeping on dourly over 1m4f at Chepstow (good to firm) in June, and her fourth on the AW (1m5f) in July has proved creditable form; no blame attached to heavy-ground defeat since (first-time cheekpieces, retained); solid chance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Came good at fifth attempt, in six-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) in June; both subsequent runs (1m6f/1m5f) were perfectly respectable and the new cheekpieces might squeeze out something extra here. |
11/4 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
24th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consolidated last month's Chepstow success (1m4f, good to firm) with a staying-on fourth over 1m6f at Yarmouth latest; further 1lb rise not ideal, but earlier third (short of room and value for closer finish) proved effectiveness on the Polytrack around here at least. |

led, soon clear, went further clear from over 3f out, ridden over 1f out, soon reduced lead, headed towards finish, kept on |

3rd 5 (7) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner with very modest 1-24 strike-rate, the win gained in basement-grade classified race at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in January; placed off today's mark handicap over that C&D last month but his latest run was disappointing and others have more pressing claims here. |
8/1 |
|
12th 11 (10) |
30th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at the 20th attempt when making all in a 0-50 classified event at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in January; finished third behind Churchill Rose and Dillydingdillydong in a handicap back there a fortnight ago; may get his own way in a race lacking pace; worth a second look. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kept on for third at Worcester (2m, good) in August and should be fine over today's longer trip, but was well beaten (albeit in a higher-grade race) at Chepstow last week and has become unreliable. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

Record of 1-9 over fences so more exposed than some in here but responded positively to cheekpieces in his last two; this does look tougher, though. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Versatile 8yo who is not very consistent but ran fairly well in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning over fences at Southwell (2m, good) in the autumn. |

21st Nov 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Best effort when third of six at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in July, but not built on it since (including four starts for this yard) and now 0-12; needs the addition of a tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Struggled to get competitive in her three qualifying races (7f-1m2f) and displayed no improvement in basement-grade classified at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) last month; still unexposed but clearly needs to improve. |

23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sold out of Andrew Balding's after disappointing handicap debut in March (1m2f, AW) and was well-beaten 66-1 shot here when upped to 1m6f for recent stable debut. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Out of a well-connected mare but was sold out of Andrew Balding's stable for 18,000gns after very disappointing handicap debut in March (1m2f, AW); upped in trip for this stable/turf debut; considered only if lively in the betting. |

29th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Safely held in three 1m novice/maiden races in January/February and makes handicap debut in an competitive race but has significant scope for improvement if suited by today's step up in trip. |
