Related to a couple of hurdles winners but still brings a stamina doubt to debut in this sphere, having gained sole Flat win over 6f; left Stuart Williams since last run; fitted with hood. |

Disappointing on the Flat for William Haggas; ran well for a long way on hurdling debut at Fontwell (2m1f, soft) for Gary Brown in December but looked held before falling heavily at penultimate flight; returns from six-month absence for another new trainer. |

11st 5lb |
Won over 1m on the Flat in Ireland in 2024, but Olly Murphy was unable to get a win out of him in five runs over hurdles and two on the Flat; sold for 5,500gns to join new yard last month; best watched on stable debut. |

Gained his Irish win on AW; posted an encouraging effort, keeping-on third, at Lingfield (1m4f) returned to this sphere on seasonal debut; interesting. |

Sole win was at Dundalk (1m, AW) in September 2024 and he's been well held in five hurdle runs for current yard; has something to prove back on the Flat and this is competitive; cheekpieces removed. |

Dual 1m6f AW Flat winner for Joseph Parr; didn't jump that well when pulled up on hurdles debut; should improve. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won two low-grade 1m6f AW handicaps for Joseph Parr when fitted with cheekpieces in February; changed hands for 8,500gns in May; goes without headgear on stable/hurdle debut but will be fine stamina-wise; market may guide. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Point winner was fourth in a Stratford maiden hurdle on debut (jumped poorly); was better when a 13l runner-up at Ballinrobe (jumped left); has ability but jumping is a concern and might be better going right-handed. |

11th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 218y |
11st 6lb |
Won a 2m4f point-to-point (good) in Britain in May; jumped poorly when a 6.25l fourth of 9 in a Stratford maiden hurdle early last month; this trip more suitable and he is open to improvement; not discounted. |

Half-brother to very useful Flat racer Temple Church and to stable's useful jumper Hallowed Star; led close home to make winning debut in five-runner maiden point in Wales (2m4f, good) in May; rules debut today. |

Ex-Irish 4yo; opened his account with hurdles win in July when last seen (stable debut); interesting off current mark back on the Flat. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

0-14 on the Flat and 0-6 over hurdles when based in Ireland but was close third in 13-runner Cork handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) in May and will be hard to beat if somewhere near that form here; recently changed hands for 20,000euros; drops back in trip for stable debut. |

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. |

2nd 3 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

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. |

Capable Flat performer who ran okay in maiden hurdles during the summer before losing her way; had wind surgery but others look safer. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Fair Flat racer who made the frame in two of her first four hurdling starts for new stable this year, more notably when third over C&D (good to firm) in July; below form last time, though, and has a point to prove on this handicap hurdle debut. |

Fair Flat racer who has made the frame on two of her three hurdling starts for new stable this year, more notably when third at Stratford (2m, good to firm) in early July; well beaten when back on the Flat last time but still enters calculations here. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won Irish point in spring 2023 but showed only minor promise in four novice/maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m5f) for Sam Thomas/Sara Bradstock since; given another wind op (his second) before this stable/handicap/chase debut; tongue-tie refitted; considered only if lively in the betting. |
