24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Kicked off for this yard with three wins in handicap chases and added a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester; not sure what happened back there last time in a handicap hurdle but it wasn't his true form; does have to carry a penalty. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Looked promising when winning a bumper on her debut in August 2023 but it took her an age to get going over hurdles, eventually winning a Uttoxeter maiden last September; hasn't gone on from that in three subsequent runs and returns following a break. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
0-11 over hurdles but did little wrong before succumbing to an improver at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July and has now finished second three consecutive times; versatile regarding ground, and a leading contender on today's terms. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
10yo whose form has been mixed this season but he's edged back down the weights and his Newmarket yard is 3-6 here; capable of a big run. |
10/1 |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Most consistent win or lose over either obstacle for this stable until finding a brush hurdle series final at Worcester all too much last time (2m4f, good); swimming in calmer waters again on this return to fences, albeit still above any class he's ever won in. |
3/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Consistent over fences and hurdles for new stable this season, winning once under each discipline; suited by this C&D but may find less exposed rivals better handicapped today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Winning pointer; 0-13 over hurdles; has placed form to his name and cheekpieces could be an interesting addition as he did some hanging at Chepstow last time. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
About 21l behind Inion Tiogair when sixth of 11 over C&D (soft) six weeks ago and now 0-11 over hurdles but ought to be much better suited by the less testing conditions today, and is now only 1lb higher than when second in a big field over C&D (good to soft) in the autumn. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-10 over hurdles and not yet proven on soft/heavy ground but was very unlucky to come to grief on last two appearances and remains just 3lb higher than when second of 16 over C&D (good) in November. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Did not look straightforward and was well beaten when 100-1 for C&D maiden on last month's debut (hooded, as today); can only be watched. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

First foal of a mare who achieved little in points and over hurdles; wears hood on debut; market instructive. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Poor form in bumpers and this headgear combination made no difference last time; very limited appeal on hurdling debut. |
