11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Pulled up when 100-1 for hurdling debut in January but the ground was heavy that day and he fared much better when fifth of ten here (2m, good) in July; now needs to take another big step forward over today's much longer trip. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Didn't achieve much when third in his first bumper and forgettable since, latterly on hurdling debut (100-1). |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Went close behind Nana Noodleman in bumper here (2m, good) in June on second start and again finished second on last month's hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good); strong candidate. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Came from off the pace to go close in a Worcester bumper (good) but it wasn't much of a race; likely to need plenty more on this hurdling debut but that's feasible. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 |
7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Weakened to be beaten about 20l into fourth at Stratford (good) and will need to find plenty on that form. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Failed to build upon fairly encouraging debut (2m4f) when well-held sixth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July but represents a top stable and ought to be capable of better at some stage; back up in trip today. |
9/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Too green to do himself justice when 16l fourth of eight on debut at Southwell (2m4f, good; 11-4); showed a bit all things considered. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-6 over fences; returned from break with two good-ground wins last month, the latter gained in fairly good style over C&D; unseated rider mid-race here recently but has strong claims if all goes to plan this time. |
13/8 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
7yo who made it 3-5 over fences when beating 11 rivals in a C&D handicap (good) 12 days ago; up another 7lb but that was a comfortable success and he's open to more progress in this sphere; key player. |
3/1 |

1st 5 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
His 2m2f course success in October was very fortunate (looked held in dispute of third when left to finish alone at the last) but there was no luck involved when returning from a break to land a second chase win at Exeter (2m3f, good) 17 days ago; a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Went close in just one of his five points and it's been a very quiet start over hurdles. |

5th 3 |
6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Showed some minor promise in Irish points in the spring but was pulled up on stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |

Changing hands for only £6,000 says plenty about his point form in Ireland and only four ran last time; could improve for new scenario. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Hurdle winner at Uttoxeter in July (2m, good); modest form on last month's Flat debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft); big step forward needed. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Second in a bumper and won his third hurdle start a month ago at Uttoxeter (2m novice, good); may lack the gears for this. |
10/1 |
|
6 |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Second in a bumper and would have been placed on hurdling debut but for a late fall; he was safely held when back at Worcester last month and reservations on the back of that effort. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Irish point winner who built upon his promising rules debut when clearcut winner of Perth maiden hurdle (2m4f, good) last month; below that form when dropped back to 2m for latest run and not sure to be favoured by the forecast rain here but probably still has potential. |
4/1 |

7 |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dead-heated in an Irish point; looked as though she needed further than this trip when a fairly close fourth at Worcester in June but didn't look short of pace when justifying favouritism over 2m4f at Perth, beating one of Gordon Elliott's; should have every chance of following up in this company. |
5/4 |
|
10 |
3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
1-4 in Irish points, the win a dead-heat in a good-ground maiden in April; came from off the pace for very respectable fourth on recent stable/hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) and can improve over today's longer trip; major player. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Just 1-8 over hurdles but returned from break with creditable second behind in-form stablemate at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month and remains on a workable mark; respected. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Improved to win good-ground Worcester maiden (2m, good to soft) in September and subsequently made the frame in two 2m Huntington handicaps (good/good to soft); returns from four-month break on workable mark but riding arrangements suggest Trust House is the stable's main hope. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who has improved with experience over hurdles and was seemingly relaxed by first-time hood when winning a Worcester maiden (2m, good to soft) last month; that form has recently been given a good boost by the runner-up and this fellow could have a lot more to offer in handicap hurdles. |

Brian Hughes rides but there aren't many other positives to draw on; well behind Top Flight Century when tried in a tongue-tie last time. |

10st 12lb |
Nothing more than minor promise among her qualifying races and beaten about 17l when ninth of 15 at 50-1 on last month's handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); the first-time tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

Poor maiden hurdler on balance who unseated her rider at the first in 2m6f Stratford handicap nine days ago; others appeal more. |
50/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Well beaten at triple-digit odds in three Uttoxeter novice hurdles (2m-2m4f) this season; has more realistic chance to get competitive in this handicap but still needs to take a big step forward. |
25/1 |
|

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Not far away in two of her runs but the form lacks substance; 250-1 when well beaten here last month. |
66/1 |
