11st 4lb |
Scored off 6lb lower at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last autumn but returned from break with substandard run in May and it's questionable what he achieved when second of three behind 2-9 favourite in tactical C&D (good) race in June; off for another 104 days since; others have less to prove. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by new cheekpieces when placed twice at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in the autumn; has claims if judged on those efforts but finished tired on soft ground last month and is now 0-11 over hurdles. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Ten-race maiden who is struggling to gain a foothold in handicaps and these aids when worn separately have offered little previously. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle starts for Micky Hammond last season and tailed off for new stable at Stratford (2m, good to firm; tongue-tie added) last month; needs this much longer trip to show her in a much better light. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Maiden who has had a few chances now in handicaps and she was on the retreat when departing two out at Southwell (3m, good), where Shorten Sassy ran third; not wildly appealing at the minute. |
6/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

0-9 over hurdles but has finished second or third in handicaps on all four starts this season; this trip/ground fine and she's likely to go well again. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |

0-8 over hurdles but placed on all three appearances this season, most recently when second to a well-backed improver at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft) last month; likely contender again here. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Beaten about 5l in his first handicap (3m, good) and was 13-8f when double that distance behind the winner at Southwell (2m4f); may need further, though he has undergone a wind operation; might yet be capable of better. |
4/1 |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who posted a pretty good effort when third here (3m, good) on handicap debut in October; not seen again since but should be okay back at 2m4f and is open to further improvement if fully tuned up. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has dived 19lb in just four months since arrival from Ireland; jumping frailties again all too evident at Taunton latest (2m3f, heavy). |

8th 10 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts on all four hurdle/chase starts for new stable since the autumn, and it takes a leap of faith to support him here. |
25/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) a year ago; well beaten over hurdles on seasonal/stable debut in October and pulled up in two subsequent chaes; may yet come good for Evan Williams but has a lot more to prove than some of these; tongue-tie added. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won comfortably under Ned Fox at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and also ran well when fourth there (2m4f, soft) later that month; below that level on latest outing (2m5f), though, and current mark demands a career-best effort. |
6/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Unraced on fast ground and best form was her second on soft ground at Exeter in January (2m5f); however, ran okay after a break at Chepstow (2m, good) and returns to a better trip here. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came good with wide-margin success at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in November and was placed twice on slow ground after the turn of the year (2m5f/2m4f); might find 2m a bit sharp on this first run since February, though. |

Pulled up in two handicap hurdles for Sam England last winter and made a low-key chasing debut in the spring; reverts to hurdling and sports first-time cheekpieces on debut for latest new stable. |

8lb wrong for handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, good) and finished well behind in first-time blinkers; off correct mark this time and tried in cheekpieces, but easy to have reservations. |
