30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent gelding who won by a comfortable 3l at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft; won on good) last time and the runner-up has since filled the same berth at Newbury; this 7yo was ideally positioned that day in what developed into a sprint finish but a 5lb rise could have been worse; Murray Dodd rides again claiming his 7lb. |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Mostly consistent in his six runs for Stuart Edmunds, winning twice (2m4f/2m7f); a well-held third over C&D last month but Murray Dodd takes off 7lb and drying conditions are a further bonus. |
6/1 |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has won two of his five starts since returning to rules action in September, the latest by a wide margin at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft); a 10lb rise asks questions of him but he's strongly considered. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
14-race maiden who was well-held when sixth of seven finishers at Warwick (2m3f, good) in June on stable debut; down 2lb and needs to find improvement. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

13-race maiden who was well beaten in December on his final run for Ben Pauling; sold for £9,500 in February; however, he was a good second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in November and is worth a second look on stable debut. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-4 over fences, the last two wins gained by wide margins in small fields at Doncaster (2m3f, good/good to soft); shooting up the weights but evidently in very good nick. |
2/1 |

1st 2 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Got right back on the up when making it 2-3 over fences in C&D handicap two weeks ago; hiked up 8lb but well on top at the finish there so he's a big player for stable well among the winners. |
7/4 |
|
1st 4 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Disappointing at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but reportedly unsuited by that tight track; prior to that he won here (2m, good to soft) on his chase debut, and his last two hurdle wins came over 2m3f; has a strong record at this course and could play a leading role now back here. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Free-goer who won twice at Bangor last year (2m3f/2m7f); absent since consecutive heavy defeats last July/September, though, and returns with quite a bit to prove. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day. |

10st 10lb |
Made a winning handicap debut at Taunton (about 2m3f, soft) 13 months ago but the wheels have come off on a variety of ground since, pulled up in four of those five starts and tailed off in the other; blinkers (one sibling wore them for her two wins) are now given a go, replacing recent cheekpieces. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Arguably shaped with more promise than 29l defeat suggests on her Worcester debut (2m, good) in August, but she failed to build on that when pulled up at Bangor the following month. |
