3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten in three runs for new stable (Flat/hurdles) this spring; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival; blinkers return and visor is removed. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten on both starts for new stable last month (hurdle/Flat); might be aided by refitted visor and/or first-time tongue-tie here but has lots to prove. |
33/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner during busy summer for James Owen last year but well beaten (over hurdles) on stable debut on Tuesday and returns to the Flat with quite a bit to prove. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Multiple winner but hasn't become easy to predict and followed two modest runs over hurdles with a pull-up on his return to fences at Ludlow; others safer. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Found Class 2 race at Newton Abbot slightly too hot last time but is now only 2lb higher than when winning here (2m4f, good to soft) in June, and today's longer trip probably suits him better; one to consider. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on well to assert at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) when back over hurdles in June, his fourth hurdling success, and does not look harshly treated by a 3lb rise for that but moves up from 0-115 company today and others in this line-up look stronger. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Three-time hurdle winner (including on heavy) who has run a couple of fair races since joining this yard in the autumn, but this 10yo was tailed off at Ayr (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago and his losing sequence continues. |
16/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
10yo who has not won since January 2024 but he's reached the frame in two of his three runs for current yard; now 2lb lower than when third of 14 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November and he could be in the mix back at this trip. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) in October and followed up in a chase here over the same trip later that month when finishing alone; form has dipped since, over fences and hurdles; needs to bounce back. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) before returning to fences at Ludlow (3m, good) where he finished alone; form has dipped since, over fences and hurdles; on a perfectly good mark if he can bounce back to form. |
9/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) before returning to fences at Ludlow (3m, good) later in October where he finished alone after being left in isolation three out; tailed off in a Hereford chase on latest start and absent 107 days since; back hurdling on a competitive mark but with more to prove on worse than good to soft. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Placed on final three outings last season, most recently when third of ten at Taunton (3m, good) in March; remains on career-high mark for this reappearance but won't be far away if fully tuned up. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back on track with two good seconds this winter, the latter at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, and ought to handle the faster ground here; can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who got back on track with a second at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft) in December and the first three pulled well clear in that race; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he's still unexposed as a stayer. |
7/2 |
