12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Ludlow maiden winner in November; mark remains the same after respectable efforts in his first two handicaps (2m4f/2m6f); should have some say but perhaps vulnerable once more. |
6/1 |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Yet to add to his 2m Ludlow maiden hurdle win but has run with credit since, most recently on handicap debut at Market Rasen when staying on over 2m4f after racing wide; likely to be involved off an unchanged mark if stamina holds up over this longer trip. |
7/2 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Just did enough to win 2m Ludlow maiden in the autumn and was a very respectable third of six in novice event over that C&D (again on good) last month; moves up in trip for handicap debut; should have more to offer. |

11st 11lb |
The recent Warwick win (2m3f, good to firm) came out of the blue but she was positively ridden in making all; only 3lb higher. |

1st 3 |
22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won off this mark at Taunton (2m, good) in April but she's struggled on her three starts since, for this yard on the last two occasions; a major turnaround is needed. |
9/1 |

8th 2 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Taunton winner in April (2m1f, good) but signed off for Tom Lacey on a low note and ran fairly miserably on last month's stable debut. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Catterick novice last December (2m3f, good to soft) and two fair runs with headgear in handicaps on last two starts (13l third over 3m at Ludlow on final start); a possible. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won a novice at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December; finished lame when pulled up on handicap debut at Kelso (2m7f, heavy) in February and he bounced back with a fair fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f; cheekpieces added) last month; looks worth another try at this sort of trip and he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers. |
13/2 |

4th 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Lame when pulled up on last month's handicap debut at Kelso (2m6f, heavy); won on hurdle debut at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December before no match for two useful sorts there (2m3f, good to soft); could bounce back with good run in first-time cheekpieces now back on better ground. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
5yo who showed clear promise in maiden hurdles in April-July; has had two falls in chase handicaps this autumn but he's still unexposed and his peak hurdling form puts him firmly in the picture; respected back in this sphere. |
9/2 |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Unexposed 5yo who showed clear promise in maiden hurdles in April-July; fell at first fence on last month's chase/handicap debut but could still have significant chasing potential. |
9/1 |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
0-5 under rules but ran his best race when second of five at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July over hurdles; makes chase/handicap debut and could well be an interesting prospect over fences. |
9/2 |
