25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Regressed over hurdles for Dan Skelton and a similar story currently as a chaser; this is no easy race in which to arrest the slide; goes in cheekpieces; 1lb wrong. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Failed to kick on over hurdles for Dan Skelton after successful at Lingfield (2m) last January; it's been a similar story over fences for his new yard and he came in a remote sixth of ten at Worcester (2m) in July; not easy to warm to. |

Ended his time over hurdles for Dan Skelton under something of a cloud; not disgraced on yard/chasing debut with third in 2m4f handicap here but pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase back here 20 days ago; has something to prove now. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won the point-to-point bumper on this card for Philip Rowley last year (good ground) but was pulled up when odds-on for stable/hurdle debut in December and again disappointed when well-held fourth at Warwick (2m3f, soft) in February; not written off just yet but returns here with a point to prove. |

11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Off the mark at Leicester (2m7f, soft) in February before posting a good second of four in 3m1f handicap at Plumpton (good); the drop back to 2m4f was not ideal there last time; better expected here. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who got off the mark at Leicester (2m7f) in February before posting a very good second of four in 3m1f handicap here two weeks ago; drops in trip but on the up so still rates a player for yard firmly among the winners. |
13/8 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has improved for cheekpieces, following his second at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to soft) with a 3l success at Leicester (2m6f, soft) which was despite a mistake two out; probably still fairly treated off 5lb higher. |

There have been glimmers of promise in his three races (2m-2m5f) but he needs to raise his game to trouble the best of these. |

Hinted at some ability in a bumper at Warwick and novice hurdle at Hereford (2m6f, soft; 33-1) but others have much more solid claims. |

11st 3lb |
Well beaten over 2m on hurdling debut in November and pulled up on both subsequent appearances (2m4f/2m3f); can't be recommended on that evidence but represents a top stable and is very unexposed; upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut; market may guide. |
