18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Contrasting performances at Newton Abbot last month, winning well but then finishing last of four; cheekpieces fitted for this much tougher test. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made it four wins since joining this yard with a wide-margin success in a higher grade over 2m1f here nine days ago, achieved in little more than a canter; well treated under his 7lb penalty and he's versatile regarding ground; leading contender. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Second in consecutive 2m handicaps (one here) in February/March but wasn't quite in same form when well-held third on latest start and is now 0-9 over hurdles; unexposed at around 2m4f but needs to find something extra. |

3rd 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
French Flat winner in 2024; maiden hurdler who is proving hard to place in handicaps, albeit his latest defeat, over C&D last month, came at the hands of one who'd dropped a long way in the weights; needs more. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten at short odds (well clear at one point) over C&D in January 2025; has fared better since, earning an RPR of 99 when runner-up at Fakenham (2m, soft; 4-1) latest; this lacks strength in depth, so he should have key role to play. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-17 over hurdles but went close when runner-up at Market Rasen in January and again in a Cartmel seller in May; well below that level on both starts since, including when well held on the Flat 18 days ago; not ruled out if bouncing back. |
7/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
1m AW winner for Tom Clover who has been mostly hurdling for this yard; went close in January and again in Cartmel seller on penultimate start; didn't shape with much promise in two turf handicaps (1m/1m2f) in between but his Flat mark has come down quite sharply. |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Still a maiden after 16 starts over hurdles, though he has plenty of placed form and looked set to score before being caught close home in a Cartmel seller (2m1f, good) 17 days ago; requires more back in handicap company but has solid place claims. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to win C&D (good) selling handicap for George Bewley in May, her tenth hurdling start, and also ran well when third here (2m6f, good) on last month's stable debut; this drop back in trip is probably the right move; ought to make her presence felt. |

3rd 9 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Having her 32nd career start when finally off the mark in a selling handicap over 2m1f here recently (good); only 4lb higher and new trainer James Moffatt has booked Brian Hughes; has to be of interest despite blatant stamina reservations. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Had some fair form for Michael Wigham but well held in 2m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Fakenham this term after a long absence; hard to make a case for in his bid to gain a maiden success. |
20/1 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced maiden who left his previous yard for 3,500gns; at 16-1, he was struggling a long way out on stable debut at Uttoxeter (soft). |

Won a bumper for Rae Guest but has no form claims on what she's achieved over hurdles, including three handicaps at Fakenham; first-time blinkers are now applied along with hood. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile bumper winner for previous stable, but has struggled over hurdles and beaten 21l+ in three starts, latterly in a hood (retained); makes handicap debut aided by Jamie Gambin's 10lb claim, but has plenty to prove and others make more obvious appeal. |
16/1 |
