11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Flat and hurdles winner but already a far superior chaser; jumped well in front (although sometimes to the right) when completing a handicap hat-trick at Doncaster (2m, soft) six weeks ago by 17l; firmly on the up and deserves his chance in this higher grade. |
9/2 |

1st 3 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner but he's looking a far superior chaser; bumped into a very smart novice on his chase debut and has since won two handicaps, the latest over C&D by some 8l (soft); an 8lb rise could have been worse for one firmly on the upgrade. |
7/4 |

1st 3 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; very solid form at Newbury (2m, good to soft) since switched to fences, finishing a good second (behind subsequent Grade 2 scorer) prior to going one better in a race that is working out nicely; may well have more to offer in this sphere and warrants major respect. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner in these silks for Richard Hughes and promising second of ten on his Warwick hurdle debut (2m, good to soft) for Olly Murphy 24 days ago; entitled to improve and the one to beat. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four-time AW winner at up to 2m on Flat for Richard Hughes, reaching an RPR of 85 (has shown a similar level of form on turf); remains with same owner; has the potential to become a fairly useful hurdler. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m AW Flat winner for Tom Ward; unexposed as a hurdler, best run when 13l third in a Hereford novice in March (2m3f, good; wore a hood); wasn't suited by the drop back to 2m when pulled up on handicap debut last time; cheekpieces now tried again (no improvement with them on the Flat). |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has taken time to come to hand over hurdles but his recent third over 2m4f here last month represented by far his best effort, appreciating the better ground; opening mark is no gift, but he remains capable of better in this sphere; interesting contender. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat performer who was bought for 32,000gns; at least completed when hooded here last month but he was well beaten; has raced only on soft/heavy as a jumper and these conditions should suit him better. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden; reached the frame in three maiden/novice events but he's been well held in three handicaps including in two runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he weakened when upped to 2m at Kempton last time and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden who made no impression over 1m6f most recently; chance of winning depends on how well he reacts to first-time headgear and going up further in distance. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has shown considerable promise; no threat on either start this season, most recently his handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f) on final run for Raphael Freire; remains in same ownership; needs something extra now up in trip (not bred for it) but not written off. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this. |
11/2 |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Formerly with Harry Charlton; won over 1m4f (AW) on yard debut last winter but nothing good to take from his subsequent races. |
50/1 |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won on stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November but finished down the field on his next two starts; needs to get back on track on this first outing of the year. |
