1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
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. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Very inconsistent for Dan Skelton last season but ran well from the front when third here (2m4f, good) on stable debut three weeks ago and won't mind if the ground is much slower today (has won on heavy); unexposed over this sort of trip; a possible if in the right mood again. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Heavy-ground 2m hurdle winner when with Dan Skelton; changed hands for 1,000gns since being beaten more than 16l in a Stratford seller in March; 2lb lower for chase debut but can only suggest a watching brief at present. |

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. |

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. |
