21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Typically for new recruits for this yard, he hit the ground running; however, he has struggled the last twice after surging up the weights; others appeal more. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Heavy defeat at Worcester last time was his first blip for this yard and reportedly unsuited by ground that was considered softer than the official good; won his previous two races and still on a competitive mark if back on song. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Improved to win off lowly hurdle mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May and has remained in good form since; no surprise if he makes his presence felt on this chasing debut. |
9/1 |

5th 9 |
31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Got off the mark at Southwell in July and creditable second in two handicaps here since, all on good ground over about 2m5f; well worth a go at this longer trip and has strong each-way claims again. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 |
17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Got off the mark on his penultimate start, when getting racing early at Southwell (2m4f, good) and seeing it out well; tactics were similar when, after a 5lb rise, he was almost 5l second in a C&D (good) conditionals event recently; should be thereabouts. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made an eyecatching bumper debut over a year ago but after a fair start over hurdles it's not really happened, including in handicaps the last twice; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts and has the services of Sean Bowen today but made rather underwhelming handicap debut over 2m3f six weeks ago and is not bred to benefit from this step up in trip. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |
15/8 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Sole success came when wide-margin winner over hurdles at Fakenham just under one year ago but he's finished runner-up on 12 occasions, including five times in succession over fences between September and November; had wind surgery after heavy defeat over hurdles at Windsor over five months ago; market might guide on this return. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in June and was runner-up in two chases last month, latterly behind King Of The Story at Warwick (2m4f, good); also ran well back over hurdles at Fakenham on Friday, but the forecast rain is a worry. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Mostly soundly beaten after three bumpers and ten hurdle races over a range of distances; wore cheekpieces last time; flimsy claims. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Didn't run badly off her lowly handicap mark here (2m4f, good) last month but looks exposed after nine hurdling starts and faces a tough task on these terms; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made all to open account over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers ten days ago, his 11th start over fences; drew nicely clear of the others with the runner-up that day and was only raised 3lb; could be hard to catch. |
9/4 |

1st 7 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Can make mistakes but mainly consistent over fences for this yard; pulled up at Warwick after an error last time but 2m and ground that was likely faster than good were probably not ideal; that brought his record to 0-18 but he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers back up in trip. |
7/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Held up and was never that threatening when beaten just over 7l into fourth at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft); that's two pleasing enough runs since the visor went on and this 17-race maiden has each-way claims. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hampered early last time, but unlikely judged on this year's struggles for both her former and current handlers that this would have cost her significantly better; cheekpieces hurriedly replace the visor. |
25/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Safely held on both recent starts for new stable (2m2f) and now 0-12 over hurdles; faced fairly tough assignment when third of five from out of the weights last time but still needs a boost from the new visor here. |
20/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Left Dan Skelton after some below-par efforts this spring/summer and was tailed off on stable debut at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; 12lb out of the weights and has a lot to prove. |

Flat-bred 4yo who never raced for Tom Dascombe and was sold on for 3,500gns; now gelded, had wind op and tries a tongue-tie; best watched. |
