30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Proved hugely resurgent with easy win at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) last week on third start for new stable, taking chase record to 3-10; well handicapped under a penalty that is partly offset by Lewis Saunders taking off 3lb; future mark 4lb higher; respected. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has more chasing experience than many of these and with a strike-rate of 4-15 things are going well; those wins have been from 2m to 2m4f so the are stamina questions to answer, for all that he has won a 3m point. |
6/1 |

1st 4 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Kicked off 2026 with a hat-trick (2m1f/2m, soft/heavy) and he's gone close on his last two starts (2m/2m3f, heavy/soft); has shown promise on good ground in the past and he could be bang there once more. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Began this year with three slow-ground wins (2m-2m1f, one here) and lost out only by a head when second here (2m, heavy; front pair well clear) on latest outing; continues to climb up the weights but should be fine over today's longer trip and can make his presence felt again. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
2m4f hurdle winner on good ground; 0-5 as a chaser and failed to convince stamina-wise when stepped up to 3m at Southwell, finishing 28l off the winner; to give him the benefit of the doubt, that run was after a break. |

3rd 5 |
11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won 2m4f hurdle at the start of 2025 and made a fairly encouraging chase debut when third of six at Newton Abbot (2m, good) one year ago; returned from break with three disappointing runs from November to January, though, and has questions to answer on first attempt at 3m; hood refitted. |

Winning hurdler; no wins in 11 over fences and hard to make a compelling case; finished last of the four to complete here three weeks ago. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-34 overall and 0-10 as a chaser; has been in poor form for a while (hurdling most recently) and couldn't entertain from 11lb out of the weights. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win (33 races) was on good ground here but in 2021; results over the last year have been pretty grim (latest in first-time cheekpieces) and she's now 6lb out of the handicap; unraced beyond an extended 2m5f. |

Limited hurdler who goes chasing from 7lb out of the weights and she's hard to recommend. |
