23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish maiden hurdle winner; five runs for this yard, the best last time at Uttoxeter when about 12l off the winner; could improve on that. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Irish maiden hurdle winner; tailed off in two handicaps on either side of a fall and wouldn't be the percentage play. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Killarney maiden hurdle winner (2m1f, good) in May last year who made an encouraging start for this stable when third in a Worcester novice in June, but disappointed on handicap debut following a break and hasn't been seen since a heavy fall in November; returns with something to prove. |

22nd May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Triple-figure prices for all three starts, well behind in a bumper and again in sole completion over hurdles; trainer in great form but handicaps more appropriate for this one. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles on final two runs for Ben Pauling but he won his two previous Flat races when trained in Ireland and belatedly completed a hat-trick when coming from last to first despite steady fractions in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown in June (good); raised a fair 5lb; showed some early promise on slow ground. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four AW wins in Ireland in 2024 (10.7f-1m4f), all in blinkers; modest hurdle form for Ben Pauling in 2025; makes his stable debut after 205 days off and he goes without headgear. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Outran 50-1 odds when third over C&D (good) last month, his third start for Sarah-Jayne Davies, but needs a better performance today and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |

3rd 11 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed in low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy earlier this year; beaten 20l over hurdles on yard debut and then unseated in his first chase; risky. |
33/1 |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Placed in two low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy in February/March but was last of six when back over hurdles here (2m, good) for new stable last month and is not bred for chasing. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Caused 66-1 shock in Worcester novice (2m, good to soft) in June but very little has gone to plan since; struggled in two recent handicaps (2m1f/2m) and is not bred to benefit from this big hike up in trip; too risky. |

Caused 66-1 shock in Worcester novice (2m, good to soft) in June but very little has gone to plan since and she was well beaten on latest outing three weeks ago; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces here; too risky. |

Caused 66-1 shock in Worcester (2m, good to soft) in June but was well beaten before last-flight fall there on handicap debut in July and lost all chance when virtually refusing to race on the Flat last week; too risky. |

Won here in May 2025 but that's been her sole victory and she hasn't been shaping this season as though another is imminent. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Sole success was at Stratford (2m1f, good) last May and she's been out of sorts in her last seven starts; 5lb out of the weights this time and she has a lot to prove. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not the biggest and her form figures are uninspiring but there were hints of ability before unseating in Wincanton novice in January; subsequent efforts suggest that might have been a false dawn and she's out of the weights again. |
40/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in her first two handicaps (2m6f/3m2f) and competes from 5lb out of the weights here; needs to take a big step forward. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Signs of promise prior to unseating in Wincanton novice (2m5f, heavy) in January but tailed off/pulled up on both runs since, most recently when 40-1 for handicap debut at Stratford (2m6f, soft). |

Won a bumper for Rae Guest but has no form claims on what she's achieved over hurdles, including three handicaps at Fakenham; first-time blinkers are now applied along with hood. |

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile bumper winner for previous stable, but has struggled over hurdles and beaten 21l+ in three starts, latterly in a hood (retained); makes handicap debut aided by Jamie Gambin's 10lb claim, but has plenty to prove and others make more obvious appeal. |
