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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Gained a second win over hurdles in 2m4f handicap at Worcester three weeks ago; pulled up over fences there previously but had shaped encouragingly when fourth on his chasing debut (2m4f) so he's no forlorn hope back in this sphere. |
7/1 |

1st 9 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won off lowly mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in spring 2025 and was second over C&D (good) on next two outings but returned from layoff with disappointing chase run here in June and has been off for another three months since; others have more pressing claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Improved to win off lowly hurdle mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May last year; made satisfactory chase debut when fourth over C&D (good) last September but has been off since; this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

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. |
25/1 |

8th 3 |
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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Just two wins from 43 starts and was well held at Southwell (2m4f) two weeks ago, but he justified favouritism over C&D (good; 6-4) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run with a breakthrough victory over fences in 2m7f handicap at Stratford last month; back up 5lb but still a likely player with Sean Bowen again in the saddle. |
9/4 |

1st 7 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Regularly makes the frame and was a respectable fourth over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) 17 days ago, but his strike-rate is now 1-41 and others appeal more for win purposes. |

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. |
