8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Came from off the pace to win at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) off 4lb lower; twice beaten off this mark in small fields since then but ran well; solid chance. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Retuned from layoff with career-best performance in April, coming from off the pace to score at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); posted another good effort when close third of four at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) last month and won over C&D on only previous visit to Worcester; good chance. |

3rd 3 |
20th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles last season (2m7f-3m2f, good/good to soft); returned to form back from a break with a win at Ludlow last month under a 3lb claimer and effectively 7lb higher here with Gavin Sheehan back in the saddle; will need to improve again but he's open to further progress. |

11st 12lb |
Won three in a row for Alan Jones last spring (2m2f-2m4f) and bounced back from poor stable debut when placed at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) this month; can do better if more relaxed in early stages here; one to consider. |

Beaten 22l into third last time after wind surgery but that was over 2m3f and he was runner-up in this 12 months ago when 5lb higher (for Dan Skelton); if that last run after three months off has brought him on he could be very interesting. |

Off since December when pulled up on heavy ground; can put a line through that and had been running well, going down narrowly to an in-form horse at Haydock; C&D winner on good ground. |

19th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good for Alastair Ralph with wide-margin Worcester win (2m7f, good) this summer and has finished second twice this autumn, more recently behind bang-in-form rival at Haydock (3m, soft); nudged up to another career-high mark here but can cope with the drop back in trip; respected. |

Two wins this season, the latter at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) in September; not in same form on latest outing, though, and may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |

Form figures of 11213 in staying handicap hurdles for this yard before struggling quite badly on his first attempt at chasing; best watched on the back of that. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Lightly raced 9yo; all good over hurdles since joining this yard, producing form figures of 11213 in staying handicaps; his mark has taken a hit but this dual point winner could easily make a chaser. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed twice (once over C&D) for Ralph Smith when cheekpieces were refitted this summer and has claims if judged on those efforts, but needs to rebound from last month's underwhelming stable debut. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 |
28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Hasn't won for ages but twice placed this summer (2m7f/2m6f) for Ralph Smith and can go well again off this mark provided another change of stable doesn't rock the boat. |
7/1 |

2nd 7 |
2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |

Returned from break with two fairly respectable runs towards the end of last season (2m3f/2m4f) and another when third over 2m7f in the refitted cheekpieces at Worcester one month ago; not the force of old and has not won since 2021 but has place claims. |

Had four chase starts, finishing second in the first and a winner in the latest over 3m1f at Catterick; attracted support 13 days ago and stayed on best in the closing stages; raised 5lb and they claimed 3lb last time, but should give his running. |

11st 12lb |
Jumped well out in front when prevailing narrowly over fences at Ffos Las (2m3f; good to soft) in April but ran a modest race there in May; dual hurdle winner who stays this far but he's become hard to predict. |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |

Returned to form when jumping well out in front and holding on by a length over C&D last month; beat one chasing a hat-trick so it's solid form; just 3lb higher. |

1st 4 |
22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Now 9b lower than for his Chepstow win (2m7f, good to soft) last April but he's been pulled up here (2m5f) and at Plumpton (3m1f) in last two runs; cheekpieces return on this drop back in grade but he needs a major revival back in trip; stablemate of Lelant. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Unexposed after only six hurdling starts and was very respectable fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in July, but performed poorly on her latest outing and needs to learn to settle much better. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Running in only her second handicap when beaten under 6l at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in July and that's something she might build on now sent over further; 9lb out of the weights but Dylan Johnston can claim 5lb now (unlike last time); tongue-tie joins hood. |

7th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Well beaten in three run-of-the-mill maidens last summer (2m-2m2f) and unseated rider at first flight when reappearing in a handicap in May; has no form claims but remains unexposed at this level. |
