12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Trained by Micky Hammond when making winning start at Wetherby (soft; made all; 18-1) in February; this is a much deeper contest and she'll do well to follow up under a penalty. |

26,000euros 3yo; second foal; half-sister to a fair Irish hurdler; dam 2m4f-2m5f hurdle winner, sister to useful staying hurdler Kris Spin; stable has some success in bumpers but this newcomer could be a longer-term prospect. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten nine times over hurdles but runner-up in four of those, including last time here over 2m4f in this new headgear combination; 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but he should make a chaser. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-8 over hurdles but made the frame on all three starts since switched to handicaps, most recently at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f; just in front of Estacas) in June with a tongue-tie added; looked hard work there and cheekpieces are now tried, but Sean Bowen returns and he's a leading contender. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Upped to an extended 2m7f for his successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December; good second since at Wetherby (3m1f, soft), Fakenham (3m, soft) and Huntingdon (3m2f, good to soft); looks a thorough stayer and he'd have much more to prove on good ground; blinkers replace the cheekpieces worn on those last four starts but he has to be shortlisted. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 |
1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Upped to an extended 2m7f for his successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December; good second since at Wetherby (3m1f, soft) and Fakenham (3m, soft); major claims with this slog likely to suit him well. |

2nd 1 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won when upped in trip on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in December and 3l second of 16 at Wetherby (3m, soft) subsequently; could continue to progress. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 2f 181y |
12st 0lb |
Ordinary form in two bumper runs for Fergal O'Brien, the latest at this meeting last year when beaten 82l; has joined a top yard but needs to leave those previous efforts well behind. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Almost a year off before this March; has not matched earlier promise in this year's five races, switched to handicapping for last three; appeared over C&D last two and made most when connections turned to blinkers last time but his third of ten that day was a well-beaten one; now tries a visor. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Has struggled to recapture his earlier promise since returning from almost a year off in March and has made little impact in two handicap starts this summer, most recently when pulled up over C&D three weeks ago; may be capable of better but first-time blinkers need to prove a positive addition. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Clearly a stayer on the upgrade having brought up an AW hat-trick with a convincing defeat of Maxident, who had a target on his back up the straight at Kempton (2m AW); worthy of the 7lb rise but how he'll deal with rain-hit ground is the glaring concern. |
7/2 |

1st 4 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has turned things around with wins at Southwell (1m6f) and Lingfield (1m5f), latterly defying a penalty by one length; the 4lb rise could find him out in this higher grade and Jack Callan, who was aboard for those wins, no longer claims. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has a patchy record but he turned things around with an 5l win over 1m6f at Southwell (AW; 7-4 favourite) last Sunday; looks well treated under a penalty for that success and his penultimate win was at this track; strong contender. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Gradual improvement over hurdles, his latest Catterick fourth to Noonetellsmenothin (2m4f novice; weakened, beaten approximately 10l) earning an RPR of 96; all set for handicap debut off a 77-day absence and worth tracking in the market. |

Only third of six when odds-on for a point bumper in December and was sold for £4,500 later that month; hood is now added on rules debut and he needs plenty of improvement. |
