17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Not entirely straightforward but a sharp improver over hurdles, making it 6-9 when disposing of two rivals at Sedgefield (2m1f, good); 4lb higher now; clearly a contender. |

1st 1 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Last of three on the Flat last time but had been a sharp improver over hurdles, making it 5-8 when completing a hat-trick at Perth (2m, good); just 2lb higher now and has major claims. |

3rd 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 109y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Big improver over hurdles and he made it 5-8 in that sphere when completing a hat-trick at Perth (2m, good) two weeks ago; looks interesting off dangerous mark on the Flat and he won over 1m7f in France as a 3yo. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Lowly rated maiden maiden who was well beaten in 2m Hexham novice last month and has now been unplaced all ten hurdling starts; goes beyond 2m4f for first time here; difficult to enthuse over. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 5yo wasn't discredited when fifth of ten in 2m novice hurdle here eight days ago; he needs considering now going into handicaps up in trip. |
5/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Placed twice over hurdles last autumn when with Lucinda Russell (2m/2m1f, good); weakened quickly when tailed off behind Pergamon when back from a break on stable debut at Kelso last month (2m, good, 7-2); better than he showed there; interesting. |
6/1 |

6th 3 |
25th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Well beaten in his sole bumper (soft) but much better to take minor honours over hurdles at Perth (2m, good) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in the autumn; has since left Lucinda Russell (same owner); admittedly beaten 17l by the Coltherd-trained favourite last time but this brother to high-class chaser Funambule Sivola should be in the mix if returning on song. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has finished a well-beaten fourth in a maiden at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) and last week in a novice at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; bled from the nose); best watched for now. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
He's lower in the weights than when winning twice towards the end of last year (2m4f/3m, good/soft) and he returned to form when fourth at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) recently; capable of building on that latest effort and he's one to consider. |

4th 6 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Scored twice over hurdles (at up to 3m) late in 2025 but has struggled to recapture that form over fences and hurdles this season; now on a good mark but not easy to make a case for on recent evidence. |
12/1 |

6th 6 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Scored twice over hurdles (at up to 3m) late in 2025 but has offered little in both codes this season and was pulled up in 3m2f handicap chase at Sedgefield 11 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Untested beyond 2m1f and her form dipped at Market Rasen last time but she was progressive previously, winning on handicap debut at Bangor (2m, good) two starts ago; retains potential and no surprise if she bounces back. |
8/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Novice winner who didn't have too much trouble in defying a 5lb lower mark at Bangor (2m, good); whether she'd want soft ground is questionable but good to soft would be okay. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Just did enough to justify short odds at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in May but found a 40-1 outsider too strong when warm favourite to follow up in modest race at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month; may still have potential but will need to up her game to overcome top weight on handicap debut. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Modest hurdle form for this yard, albeit he was returning from 343 days off when third at Hexham last month; had fair Flat form in Ireland in his youth but does come with risk attached. |

3rd 4 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed significant ability on the Flat and over hurdles for Jim Bolger in Ireland but started off for current stable with two disappointing hurdle runs last summer (2m/2m4f; had wind operation afterwards); returns from 343-day absence with tongue-tie refitted. |

Maiden stayer on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes; 8,000gns purchase in November; 2.75l third to Pergamon (3lb worse off) at Kelso on second run over hurdles last time (2m, good); each-way chance. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Improved to cause 40-1 shock over C&D (good to soft) on stable debut in June; pulled up on next outing but steadied the ship with very respectable handicap run here in August and has big role to play today. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Made a winning start for his current handler in novice over C&D but she was pulled up in similar company at Cartmel later in June; she needs to get back on track. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Pulled up on both hurdling starts for Nicky Richards this spring, but displayed a huge jolt of improvement to cause a 40-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft); likely contender under penalty. |
