28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |

Resumed winning ways in 2m Worcester handicap hurdle last month; up 5lb now but he still can't be ruled out. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Close up at Newton Abbot on return from a long absence and didn't run at all badly in a Class 2 at Market Rasen; at this easier level he makes more appeal. |

Has not seen a lot of racing since winning this two years ago off 4lb higher and he returned from an absence to be close up at Newton Abbot; could go well. |

9th Oct 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended last season on a low note but ran big race in defeat at Worcester (2m, good) in August, after a break, and is still on a workable mark after a 2lb nudge; handles good to soft ground but may not want it soft. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 |
28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won a maiden and a Southwell novice handicap last spring (2m, good/good to soft); hasn't run as well since and was pulled up on first run after a wind op in a mares' final at Cheltenham last time (2m4f, good; reportedly never travelling); bit to prove back from a break. |

Won two non-handicaps on good ground at Worcester last summer; placed in two of his three handicaps and there's improvement in his jumping; not ruled out, despite the absence. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Dictated a steady pace when winning a C&D novice by 4l last time, having previously finished a close third on handicap debut (4lb lower); he was useful on the Flat and may have more to offer as a jumper. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently when Sean Bowen was at his strongest at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in June, and his subsequent effort off 5lb higher at Market Rasen (2m7f) was solid; remains on the same workable mark and should be in the thick of things again. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has won two of his last three, the latest over 3m2f at Fontwell when Sean Bowen was at his strongest; probably has little up his sleeve after the 5lb rise. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Landed a weak handicap at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March; never threatened off 2lb higher at Southwell (3m, good) last time; Sean Bowen rides for the first time so may well have a say. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has been in good form since returning from a break, finishing second at Hereford in May before winning over C&D in June and running another solid race when a 5.5l second at Stratford off this mark last time, all under Isabelle Ryder; looks set for another bold showing. |
4/6 |

2nd 2 |
12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

A sixth win over hurdles when beating three rivals with a bit in hand at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); got off lightly with just a 1lb nudge; respected. |
7/2 |

1st 2 |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner (2m-2m5f) on varying ground; made an encouraging return when staying on for second at Hereford (2m3f, good) last month; the drop back in trip isn't ideal but he should still have a part to play. |

11st 13lb |
Bounced back to form with hard-fought win at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November but was pulled up when reappearing over 3m1f in February and has been off for another three months since; not an easy one to predict. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdles winner here in 2023; well held in two chases this autumn but reverted to hurdling with a win at Southwell (2m4f) in November, travelling best before asserting close home; off since and 6lb higher today, and he's unraced beyond 2m5f under rules, but keeping away from soft ground is seemingly a help. |

Resurgent for new yard this summer and it was in a higher grade when an 8l fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good); likely to continue the good work and have a say. |
6/1 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Became disappointing for Paul Nicholls last year but she's been resurgent for new yard this summer, with a win at Southwell (2m, good) followed by a good second at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); remains feasibly treated on her best form and she's respected. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Became disappointing for Paul Nicholls last year but held on from a strong finisher for narrow win off reduced mark on last month's stable debut at Southwell (2m, good); still well handicapped after a 4lb rise and can cope if the ground softens here; good chance. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |

Has returned to his former yard after a spell in Ireland; won his first two races over hurdles for this stable in January/February 2022; has dropped to a decent mark; any market move should be noted. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Belated return to hurdling when scoring by a short head over C&D in June but failed to back that up when behind a couple of these at Uttoxeter; others appeal more. |

Very well handicapped on some of last year's form for Milton Harris and but was out of sorts during three-race spell for Syd Hosie and pulled up on recent debut for latest new trainer; headgear refitted; revival needed. |
