8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
5yo who won twice in novice company this spring before making all in a match at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in July; held in second of five there last time but that was another creditable effort and he still has potential in this sphere; key player. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Improving 5yo who won twice in novice company this spring and made all in C&D match (also on good ground) when back in a handicap last month; contests a much deeper race today but still commands respect. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Well beaten in latest handicap (March) and now 5lb higher but was a dual winner back in novice company this spring (2m/2m2f, good); evidently in good nick and has obvious claims in this small field. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Combination of handicaps, a wind operation and this headgear has made a different, delivering form figures of 132 in 2m5f-3m handicap hurdles before faring less well after 97 days off at Wetherby; hard to be confident on the back of that but no surprise should he run well now his attention is turned to fences. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Maiden prior to showing improvement with solid performances (132) since having wind surgery and wearing cheekpieces, most recently beaten only narrowly at Ascot (2m7f) three months ago; that form has been franked by the winner since; goes well fresh and holds strong claims returned to the scene of his October win. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up in 2m2f novice races on good ground at Stratford, latterly only 4l behind an improver when fitted in a tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added after a wind operation and can see him going well. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Remote when second of three on stable/chase debut but ran well for a long way before weakening into third at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and could be better suited by the forecast dryer ground here. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Good-ground hurdles scorer for previous yard; no match for the winner at Doncaster (2m3f) on chase/stable debut and return from absence but shaped as if this drop back in trip will suit; may progress. |
11/2 |

2nd 3 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Proved a reliable hurdler for Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies, scoring at Newton Abbot (2m2f) in August and signing off with a very good second in 2m Hereford handicap; changed hands for £24,000 after and he's not without interest now going chasing for his in-form new yard after a layoff. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Kept on well to score at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2-7 over hurdles; that looked a modest race and she's 6lb higher here but at least we know she's in good nick. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
40-1 when making a successful handicap debut last summer and probably better again when beaten 2l at Plumpton the final time (3m1f, good); off since September which is a slight concern, but this race has no depth. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Evidently suited by hike up in trip when causing 40-1 surprise on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; subsequent Worcester fourth (2m7f, good) was perfectly respectable and further progress remains possible. |

10st 10lb |
Probably didn't achieve a great deal when second in two four-runner points in April (3m/2m4f, good) but has joined a good stable for her rules career and market support will bring her into the equation. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Four wins for Andrew Balding (including over C&D) but was pulled up on hurdling/stable debut in June and has finished tailed off back on the Flat (2m) in last two runs; on dangerous mark on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival. |
25/1 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Second to Moel Arthur over C&D in January (trained by Andrew Balding) and 3lb better off with that rival today; jumped poorly on her stable/hurdle debut at Stratford in June and then tailed off at Kempton (2m, AW) seven weeks ago; better than that but she does have something to prove for now. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Didn't take to hurdling on stable debut at Stratford three weeks ago but she ran some good races on the Flat earlier in the year for Andrew Balding and is not ruled out now back in this code. |
