28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo; built upon encouraging stable debut (over hurdles) when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month and bettered that form when clear second to an improver at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) a few days later; can cope if there's rain about; good chance. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Scored over fences for Shark Hanlon in August 2025 but lost his way subsequently; back to his best on his second start for his current yard when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last Tuesday; shouldered with a 7lb penalty but will be suited by the step up in trip and holds claims. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won over fences in Ireland last August (2m3f); his respectable stable debut was over hurdles (2m) and he was keeping on at the finish; wants further ideally but one to consider under Harry Cobden. |

Plenty keen in maidens, will need to settle better to make an impact on handicap debut (hood back on) and market could prove informative. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 1lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-12 over fences; ran okay in handicap chases at Clonmel and Wexford over 2m7f/3m2f earlier this year; well beaten over 2m2f at Galway last time (good); may want it softer. |

Winning hurdler is 0-11 over fences; ran okay in handicap chases over further at Clonmel and Wexford earlier this year but seems best with cut in the ground; beaten 22l on good ground in a handicap hurdle on latest. |

Winner of a Clonmel 2m3f handicap hurdle in February last year (soft) off 6lb higher; fifth of 12 when last seen over hurdles at Limerick in April (2m4f, soft to heavy); creditable efforts over fences twice most recently. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has dived 19lb in just four months since arrival from Ireland; jumping frailties again all too evident at Taunton latest (2m3f, heavy). |

8th 10 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts on all four hurdle/chase starts for new stable since the autumn, and it takes a leap of faith to support him here. |
25/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) a year ago; well beaten over hurdles on seasonal/stable debut in October and pulled up in two subsequent chaes; may yet come good for Evan Williams but has a lot more to prove than some of these; tongue-tie added. |

Long-standing maiden ran okay at Listowel last September, but was still beaten 11.5l into third; mid-field over 2m7f here when last seen in October; may need this on return. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 0y |

0-13 and yet to trouble the judge in handicap company; heavy defeats last four starts and hard to make a case for despite tumbling mark; new headgear combination now tried. |

10st 11lb |
Winning point-to-pointer is 0-8 over hurdles but took a step in the right direction at Clonmel last month when third (Ashdale Flyer 10l away) to a stablemate, having made much of the running; unproven over this far but good chance she'll stay. |

0-12 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 7.5l into fourth of 12 off 88 over 2m3f here on penultimate and is now 3lb lower; 3m may have stretched him last time; leading chance dropped back in trip. |

A 27-race maiden who was tailed off behind Tippin And Tappin (runs in first division) on most recent chase start and no signs of a revival when well held over timber last week. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 160y |
11st 0lb |
Record of 0-25 under rules but is a better chaser; backed from 50-1 into 10-1 before the off when fifth in 3m1f Tipperary maiden hurdle eight days ago; had three runner-up finishes in handicap chases last summer; each-way contender. |
