17th Feb 2026 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over hurdles at Uttoxeter; yet to show the same level of form over fences in four starts but has come down in the weights and is dropped in grade; no forlorn hope. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins over hurdles at Uttoxeter, on good and good to soft; has mostly steered clear of slower ground and he's been no closer than 17l in three runs over fences. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Both hurdle wins at Uttoxeter, the latest a 2m4f handicap which never looked in doubt; raised 6lb and a 7lb claimer rode last time, but his trainer sees him as more of a chaser; considered. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed promise on his first four starts (including on soft) then got off the mark when making all in a Market Rasen novice (2m, good to soft); on a line through the runner-up he's making his handicap debut off a fair mark, and this unexposed 6yo is open to improvement for his good yard. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Point/bumper winner who showed improvement to get off the mark over hurdles at Taunton (3m, good) last month on his sixth attempt; creditable second over the same C&D subsequently and holds place claims at least while in this mood. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good as a hurdler (sixth attempt) when asserting by 5l in a five-runner and four-finisher novice handicap over C&D (good) 13 days ago, having breezed into the lead before two out under Charlie Maggs; hot favourite Noble Blue unseated early in that race; up 6lb but probably has a good chance. |

23rd Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Placed on last two of his three hurdling starts, more recently when rallying second of 14 at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last month; has a bit to find with a couple of today's rivals but it won't be a surprise if he makes the necessary progress. |

17th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Regressive profile in novice/maiden hurdles; goes handicapping off a really tempting mark judged on the RPR for his big-price bumper debut success, but a bit to take on trust just now. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Has not really kicked on from his front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in the spring but his Newton Abbot third (3m2f, good) in July was a good effort and this return to a right-handed track will suit. |

Came good with front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April but his last couple of runs (2m/2m4f) were substandard and he tackles this new trip with some questions to answer. |

Ex-Tom Lacey; well beaten in two handicaps for present yard following a long absence; needs to improve. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Down the field in four runs for Tom Lacey and she returned after long absence with well-held fifth on handicap/stable debut at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last month; still early days but she needs improvement on this drop back in trip; hood reapplied. |
7/1 |
