15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won two bumpers before highly commendable Grade 2 second at Aintree (good) in April, then easily justified skinny odds on hurdling debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft) the following month; likely to be suited by today's step up in trip and ought to be very hard to beat. |

Fourth in one of his points and very talented in bumpers, finishing second in Grade 2 at Aintree (2m1f, good) four weeks ago; he'll be extremely tough to beat if anything like as good on this first hurdle start. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Made the frame in two bumpers and, after a modest spell on the Flat, didn't run badly when third on last month's hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good), albeit no match for the first two; could run into a place now back down in trip in first-time blinkers. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not seen on the Flat since hard-fought course win (2m1f, soft) last summer but produced career-best hurdle performance when winning on good ground last month and is evidently in very good nick; respected. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |

Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
2m4f maiden point winner for James Owen three years ago, but recent efforts have reaffirmed that staying that and longer trips is otherwise often beyond her; 3lb drop is not persuasive; tongue tie retained. |

3rd 5 |

Won a point in 2023 but unseated mid-race on chase debut a year ago and recently returned from layoff with ordinary run over hurdles (0-7); tongue-tie is now added. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Three-time Flat winner (including on good to soft) who got off the mark over hurdles at the seventh attempt over C&D (soft) last month; he did it comfortably and an 8lb rise may not stop him if he can back up that effort. |
9/2 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
3-34 on the Flat and took a step forward in this headgear combination at Catterick (1m7f, soft) latest in his third handicap hurdle, finishing third of five; however, was 7l behind runner-up Voodoo Angel so has work to do. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
3-34 on Flat; lightly raced over hurdles and soundly beaten in November in first two handicaps in this code (2m1f, soft); the reapplied cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie could help but others have more pressing claims. |

12-race maiden; pulled up over 2m here (soft) on penultimate start, and weakened quickly at Kelso (2m, good; sixth, beaten 21l) subsequently; continues to ease in the weights, now 17lb lower than back in January. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

0-7 over hurdles but ran well and suggested her turn might be near when close fourth behind Snapaudaciaheros over C&D (good) last month, and won't mind if the ground is slower today; could be the answer. |

Kept on for very respectable fifth of 15 on stable/handicap debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; that came after a three-month break and she could easily have more to offer over this new trip; tongue-tie removed after one use. |
