3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner in 2024; returned from one-year absence with low-key hurdle run for new stable in July but shaped with a lot more promise at Perth last month and should now be at concert pitch for this return to fences. |
10/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles after a year off and he's likely to be back chasing (dual winner) sooner rather than later. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
0-16 but this 6yo has finished second on two of his last three hurdle starts, most recently at Kelso in September; mid-race unseat on chase debut since; each-way chance back hurdling. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Shaped okay at massive odds (never-nearer third, 150-1) on last visit to Plumpton in December 2024; occupied same position when last in action at Cartmel (2m1f, good; beaten under 10l) last July; easing mark, with Charlie Maggs taking over in saddle. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Ridden by Izzie Hill last seven starts; well beaten in his first two handicaps; back to form when 25-1 fifth of seven at Worcester (2m, good) on third attempt but needs to build on that. |
9/1 |

5th 4 |
18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Placed at triple-digit odds in Plumpton novice (2m, good to soft) in December but well beaten in both handicaps this year (2m3f/2m); not the most obvious answer. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed at Catterick (1m6f/2m, good) on first two outings this year but this 10yo needs to shrug off a lesser run over 1m6f here 19 days ago |
10/1 |

9th 13 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Placed at Catterick (1m6f/2m, good) on both appearances this season; back up in grade today but won this race off today's mark a year ago (soft ground); shortlisted. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
10yo who snapped a losing sequence at Carlisle last June and reappeared with a good second here (1m6f, good) last month; she should be fine back up in trip and can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Not beaten all that far in 2m6f/3m1f handicaps on last two starts but he was a weakener late on; others appeal more. |
16/1 |

7th 6 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |

20-race maiden under both codes and did plenty wrong when pulled up last time at Warwick (2m5f); opposable. |
12/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Yet to get her head in front after 12 attempts and recent efforts don't suggest she's about to make that breakthrough here, despite a 2lb easing of his mark. |
14/1 |

6th 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden who made it 0-11 over hurdles when a well-held fourth in Ffos Las handicap (2m4f, good to soft; 25-1) ten days ago; others preferred. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Uttoxeter in October and good third at Newcastle later that month; however, he's been well beaten on his last two starts and needs to turn things around now in blinkers; cheekpieces were given a go last time. |

Ran well to a point when fourth in C&D selling handicap won by Alvesta in May but was beaten about 19l in the end and has been safely held in two subsequent chases; 3lb wrong today and now 0-40 under rules. |
20/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden who often races freely and he's 3lb out of the weights for this second run over fences; he was well held in the first. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Bits of promise before he won a seven-runner novice contest at Bangor (2m, good) six weeks ago in his fourth handicap, in clearcut style despite interference and being 4lb out of the handicap proper; had wind surgery one week later; up 7lb today but the chief concern is that he was soundly beaten in all five starts on softer than good. |
5/2 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Shaped well before fading into fifth in two Market Rasen handicaps (both 2m4f, good) last summer and may not have been suited by the soft ground when a disappointing favourite at Sedgefield in January; returns from another break and is 4lb wrong today but still considered. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

0-19 and she was last to finish in a 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen last month; others more persuasive. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Struggled to get competitive in second half of last year and returns from break with overall strike-rate standing at 0-35; 4lb wrong; overlooked. |
