24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
No immediate improvement for a switch to handicap company when fourth of nine over 2m5f at Haydock (good to soft) seven weeks ago but it's still early days for a good stable with a very strong Perth record. |
5/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not seen since struggling in good-quality Newbury maiden in November but significant positives can be drawn from his first two hurdle runs (both 2m); up in trip for this handicap debut and open to improvement. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner (yielding) who bettered his disappointing bumper debut when third of six at Taunton (heavy) in February; probably needs to improve again to make a winning hurdle debut but riding arrangements suggest he's the pick of Olly Murphy's four runners. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner in May 2024 (3m, good); best rules run when second in a Plumpton novice hurdle in December last year (2m, good to soft); reportedly made a respiratory noise and stopped quickly when pulled up on chase debut at Hereford last time (2m5f, good); tongue-tie now tried; bit to prove. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Wouldn't have enjoyed the slow ground in two maiden hurdles before finishing a remote second in a Swedish hurdle three weeks ago, as was his second place in a Plumpton novice last winter; plenty too prove now sent chasing, though he did win a point. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who completed a 2m4f double over hurdles in November for a good start to his handicap career; not in same form in two completed starts since; chance of revival largely hinges on the switch to fences. |
7/2 |
|
6th 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins at this sort of trip in November on good to soft; fell early when favourite next time and it was his first run on soft when tailed off at Huntingdon; on this ground and with cheekpieces added, he's one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
9th 4 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won over about 2m4f on good to soft at Market Rasen and Southwell (by a neck) in his first two handicaps; went up 4lb for the latest but was favourite at Haydock last month and fell midrace; unraced on soft ground but respected. |

Won his first two bumpers for this yard under Cameron Johnstone-Baker (good to soft/good) before disappointing in a Grade 2 at the Grand National meeting; could easily be up to this on his hurdling debut. |

14th 12 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
2-2 since joining Emma Lavelle; easily saw off eight rivals at Hereford (good ground) last month after a long layoff; well up the pecking order on ratings and should be in the thick of things again. |
10/1 |

1st 1 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Left behind an underwhelming debut when making all to win a Southwell (good to soft) bumper for new stable and ridden by Cameron Johnstone-Baker in December 2024, posting a useful RPR; key player if ready to roll after a 477-day absence. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Displayed improvement to score on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m6f) last month but raced too freely and was a disappointing favourite when well-held third at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) three weeks ago; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Outpaced when 11l behind second-placed Getaway With You on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) before devouring the near-2f longer distance at Ffos Las (heavy); sharper track than either of those isn't necessarily a plus, but this latest step up in trip is and a 6lb rise looks about right. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Fair hurdler who's finished well held in a couple of AW novice events this year, latterly behind Keep It Cool; this more realistic for a yard just getting going for the season but his immediate future probably lies in the hands of the handicapper. |
10/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Vastly inferior to Constitution Hill and Roadlesstravelled over hurdles; duly finished behind those two opponents at Southwell on the switch to this code; faces another stiff task. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 2 |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Won a Huntingdon maiden (2m5f) last February and took a four-runner handicap at Plumpton (2m2f; second-time cheekpieces) 13 days ago, and good ground is probably okay, but to win this demands a career best. |
6/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Yet to build on her Huntingdon maiden hurdle win last February but she's gone close since; returned to some form when a 12l fourth at this level at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) last month, running without her usual tongue-tie but fitted with first-time cheekpieces; drops in trip here and eased in the weights, so worth considering. |
2/1 |

4th 3 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who won Huntingdon maiden (2m4f, good to soft) just under a year ago; failed to build upon encouraging seasonal/handicap debut when well-held fourth at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in December but has possibilities if aided by new cheekpieces here; tongue-tie left off. |

No sign of ability over hurdles, including a low-grade handicap; a wind operation since last seen (also tongue-tied first time) needs to spark huge improvement. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 3 |

Has a useful pedigree but has little in the way of worthwhile form, in three bumpers and a maiden hurdle. |
