29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Tended to be all or nothing under both codes when last seen; entitled to need this after more than a year off (first Flat run in going on two years) and Nelson Gate looks his yard's best chance. |

6th 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Best on the Flat at around 1m2f and his two wins over hurdles came over 2m round undemanding courses; stamina would be a concern then for a yard also responsible for Aggagio and Galactic Jack. |
6/1 |

5th 7 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dictated a modest pace when just holding on over 2m here (soft) a fortnight ago, for which he's gone up only 3lb; it remains to be seen whether he'll get this far as he's bred for the Flat. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-17 over hurdles but went close when runner-up at Market Rasen in January and again in a Cartmel seller in May; well below that level on both starts since, including when well held on the Flat 18 days ago; not ruled out if bouncing back. |
7/1 |

9th 13 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
1m AW winner for Tom Clover who has been mostly hurdling for this yard; went close in January and again in Cartmel seller on penultimate start; didn't shape with much promise in two turf handicaps (1m/1m2f) in between but his Flat mark has come down quite sharply. |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Still a maiden after 16 starts over hurdles, though he has plenty of placed form and looked set to score before being caught close home in a Cartmel seller (2m1f, good) 17 days ago; requires more back in handicap company but has solid place claims. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Soundly beaten on both starts in cheekpieces (now removed) during the winter and now 0-13 over hurdles; returns from break on tempting mark and will be suited by this return to good ground but has a bit to prove. |
8/1 |

5th 7 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
5yo who made the frame a few times last season and his mark continues to fall, but he hasn't got competitive this term and remains a maiden. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Placed in first four handicaps and looked booked for second when coming down late on at Market Rasen latest outing (2m4f, good; tongue-tie joined the cheekpieces); she'll have a part to play if returning in the same form. |
11/4 |
|

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in all four handicaps, the last three times for Neil Mulholland; slightly disappointing when third at Stratford (2m, good) in May and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she's a contender here if suited by the new trip; tongue-tie added. |
7/2 |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Placed in all three handicaps, the last twice at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good/heavy) for new stable this spring; may yet have a bigger performance in her and features prominently in calculations. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Aided by cheekpieces this year, winning three in a row here (2m-2m4f, heavy) in January/February; also suited by faster ground but managed only fifth behind Jack's Jury off this career-high mark over C&D (soft) last month. |
10/1 |

5th 1 |
16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Thriving 5yo who has won three times on heavy ground here (2m-2m4f) this year; drew nicely clear of the others with another in-form horse when prevailing by a neck over C&D last time and remains unexposed over this trip; must be considered. |
5/2 |

1st 3 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Heavy-ground 2m wins here the last twice, and although the latter represented no further improvement on RPRs he was value for further than 2l having walked through the last; untried over this far and 7lb rise demands a career-best, but clearly in the heart to go close once more. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Went the wrong way in a trio of 2m juvenile hurdles for Dan Skelton in 2024; off 15 months before being pulled up for his new yard in 2m4f Huntingdon handicap 17 days ago; hard to warm to. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Shaped well when a debut second in 2m Wetherby juvenile but failed by a long way to build on it in two subsequent runs for Dan Skelton; back from 15 months off here for his new yard with lots to prove. |

12th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Last of two finishers in dramatic race at Wetherby (2m, good) on debut, then well beaten there (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; improvement is needed but he's in top hands and things may click at some stage. |

Two runs in bumpers at Huntingdon (2m, good/good to soft) this autumn and he's shown ability each time; goes hurdling with trainer in excellent form and he could have a part to play. |

23rd Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Out of unraced sister to bumper/useful jumps winner Always Lion; over 3l behind Fran The Man when keeping-on fifth over C&D (good) last month but that still goes down as a promising debut and he's open to improvement. |
