29th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Went close off 1lb lower at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month; also suited by this track but now 0-33 over hurdles; others appeal more. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Ran fairly well for fourth at Hexham (2m7f, good) but that made it 0-35; not hard to take on. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when fourth from out of the weights in quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in March but was well beaten when tried in a visor in April (2m4f) and is now 0-31 over hurdles; sports refitted cheekpieces here; not the percentage call. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-12 as a hurdler but he won comfortably on his recent stable debut over fences here (3m, good) and well handicapped on that run being only 4lb higher, and 5lb lower than new chase mark; has placed form in this discipline. |

1st 3 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Sole success in six attempts over fences came in this race last year off 8lb lower; ran well when a close second to Huckleberry Sting over C&D in July (Ribeye fourth) on his final start for Ian Williams, ridden by Sean Bowen; returns from nearly three months off but meets the winner on 12lb better terms and looks capable of a bold bid on debut for Olly Murphy. |

2nd 5 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
1-5 over fences and went close in December on final chase start; another second over hurdles next time and he just never went a yard in his final race; has a big effort in him if bouncing back. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In excellent form for new stable in the spring, winning three in a row under Fern O'Brien (2m4f-3m) on good ground; has fitness to prove after 116-day break and latest 10lb rise asks quite a lot of him but further progress is possible. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon (20.5f, good) in April and followed up in a four-runner contest at Ludlow (3m, good) last month with Galway Reel 13l back in second; up 7lb and holds strong claims once again. |
8/13 |

11th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Mid-race unseat over fences on stable debut in March and got up late to win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) three weeks ago when back hurdling; there's every chance the step back up in trip will suit and he could have more to offer for this yard. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

No wins in 11 but was close up over C&D (soft) in January and 3m3f perhaps stretched him next time; possible. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-10 but he achieved his closest finish yet when third at Wetherby (3m, soft) recently; wears first-time cheekpieces and might not be far away. |

3rd 9 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Well held in two starts since a break but he is beginning to slip to a more workable mark now; if handling softer ground than of late, he may be able to get more competitive. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Still 4lb above the mark for last July's Worcester win (2m7f, good) without progressing further; 19l behind Cinderello on recent Fontwell return, and have to hope cheekpieces help tease out his resources longer. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |

Rallied well to open account at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer and was placed off today's mark on next outing; not yet fully exposed but absent since disappointing run in October. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |

Has found his level in handicaps, winning at Worcester and then digging deep for a close third at Uttoxeter (again at about 2m7f on good); respected. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
2-4 since her wind op in the spring, the latter win gained on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; well beaten after racing too freely there a few days later but has had a longer break this time and the hood is refitted; leading contender if back on song. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
After a wind operation she was first and fourth in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps for previous yard; joined this one for £3,000 and coped fine with the drop back to 2m when a clearcut winner here 11 days ago; raised 8lb but she's clearly turned a corner. |

1st 12 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Left behind previous efforts when winning at Market Rasen (2m6f, good; hooded) in May after wind surgery, her fourth handicap start, but never figured over 3m there the following month; bought for £3,000 since and, despite the drop in trip not being an obvious plus, she can have a say. |

1lb beneath the mark he defied at Stratford last July (3m3f, good) but there's not a lot to shout about since, with breaks a feature in his profile; now returns from another. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Just 1-21 overall but is back on the mark he defied at Stratford last July (3m3f, good), and he'd only just missed out in this corresponding race immediately beforehand (C&D record reads 2225); not out of this. |

Safely held in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Kelso (2m2f, good) last month and has now been unplaced all nine hurdling starts; difficult to enthuse over. |

Eight-race maiden who has struggled in his four handicaps (2m-2m7f) and was well held in a Market Rasen novice last time; cheekpieces are now added and he needs improvement back up in trip. |
