19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very productive on AW this year and also scored over hurdles in the spring; suffered a heavy defeat on most recent attempt in this sphere but remains well treated judged on Flat form. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May on third hurdle start and scored on the Flat at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) four weeks ago; in view of his Flat ability he has potential off this opening hurdle mark. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Resurgent on AW in early part of this year, winning six times including over C&D; opened hurdling account in May and he had an excuse on slow ground when returned to the Flat at Hamilton in June; now drops back in grade after a break and he needs a close look returned to AW. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; has slipped to 6lb below his last winning mark (1m4f, Lingfield) and wasn't beaten far when having the run of the race under Rose Dawes at Wolverhampton (1m4f; third of seven, 7-2) last week; foolish to discount. |

Has seven wins on AW and is now 6lb lower than for the last of those last September; doesn't look ready to take advantage though. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-25 on the AW, with one of the wins coming on his only Chelmsford start; creditable third of ten at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 19 days ago and the second from that race has won since; stamina not assured over the longest he's tackled but can be very competitive from his mark. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (5) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-24 on the AW with six of those wins coming at Lingfield (1m2f/1m4f); no joy in three turf runs in May/June but he didn't get much luck back on AW at Wolverhampton last month; now only 1lb higher than for his C&D win in April and he's in the mix back at this track. |
15/2 |

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
7-23 on the AW with all wins coming over 1m2f/1m4f on Polytrack, six of them at Lingfield; 0-7 on Tapeta, but runner-up on four occasions so he isn't easy to dismiss. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last four efforts leave plenty to be desired but has dropped 2lb lower than for the latest of two wins at Nottingham (1m2f) last July; respected if the first-time cheekpieces bring about a resurgence. |
12/1 |

9th 1 (10) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Bit to prove back at 1m but is otherwise interesting returned to Nottingham, being 2-2 here, namely a 1m2f double last July; 0-10 elsewhere. |
20/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won twice at Nottingham last July (1m2f, good and good to soft); just 1lb higher than for the second of those victories but she ended 2025 with a poor run and may not want the ground too lively. |

9st 4lb |
Won three times in the summer of 2024, including twice over C&D; several good runs in defeat last year and he starts out for George Baker (same owner) off a competitive mark; one to consider. |

Record is 3-35; couple of third-place finishes since wearing blinkers, latest at Newbury when stepped back up to 2m (usually races over middle distances); could go well in the retained headgear. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
1m4f winner on good ground; drew clear to win a Leopardstown maiden in March (2m, soft to heavy) but found wanting in handicaps since then, proving disappointing when sights were lowered at Killarney 20 days ago. |
7/2 |
|
6th 4 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Handicap win over 1m4f (good) at Chester was the highlight of a five-race British Flat career; off the mark hurdling at fourth attempt with an easy Leopardstown victory (2m, soft to heavy); well beaten in a Fairyhouse Listed Leopardstown (2m, yielding to soft) contest last time for handicap debut; this is easier; non-runner 5.20 at Chester on Friday. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had a consistent year and has won twice over 1m4f; slowly away when beaten 4l at Lingfield (AW) two runs back and soft ground was a first when running no race last time; could go well. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Opened her account when scoring over C&D (good) from 10lb lower in July; followed up off 6lb higher at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) ten days later; fairly consistent since and not ruled out back here. |
9/1 |

7th 10 (8) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Epsom (1m4f, good) and Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month; creditable second in hat-trick bid at Newmarket but she was a well-held third at Ffos Las last time; still unexposed at this trip but this is competitive back on AW and she needs to find more to defy this mark. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Five-race maiden who has finished out of the frame in both handicaps, albeit she was poorly drawn when fifth of 13 at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month; has been well backed before her last three starts and interesting to see if she again attracts support. |
12/1 |

In the frame in her first two starts for this yard at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) and Nottingham (1m2f, good) in the summer, but was very disappointing on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack; 3-1) last month; interesting to see if her backers return. |

Placed in maidens at Kempton (1m) and Chelmsford (1m2f) in February/March but hasn't fared so well since, including in two handicaps; been gelded and mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game at this new trip. |
