18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up here a month ago; opposable at this level. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all, winning unchallenged in a Catterick claimer (2m, good) in March, changing hands for £12,000; failed to beat a rival on the Flat at Southwell (1m3f) on first start for this trainer the following month, and pulled up on chase debut next time; returning to hurdles is a sensible move. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Can do too much in front but no alarms when making all in a Catterick claiming hurdle for Jennie Candlish in March (1m7f, good); out of a half-sister to a minor chase winner, but not bred for this job otherwise. |

Won by 10l last week at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in a race she also won the previous season, when beating Masked Dance on similar terms to today's; clear claims. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
7-27 over hurdles, including a good-ground C&D win; not firing on all cylinders since last autumn but wasn't beaten far when fifth of seven in refitted cheekpieces at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month and continues to slip down the weights. |

11st 13lb |
Sole hurdles win at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; from 8lb higher) in October 2024; consistent this year, without necessarily looking ready to win again; third to better-fancied stablemate Cosmic Soul at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) nine weeks ago. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024, but he's drawn a blank since and has struggled on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; has plenty to prove and yard also runs Evelyn's Phoenix. |
16/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and has been well held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last three starts; bit to prove and he needs a big turnaround back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two low-grade Flat wins in 2024 (7.5f-1m); well beaten on recent Market Rasen hurdles debut (2m, juvenile maiden; 150-1); connections waste no time by dropping him into a claimer; difficult to identify a positive angle. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but was unable to justify his market prominence when safely held on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in December and struggled in a Catterick claimer on Wednesday; 1lb wrong here; needs a good boost from the new blinkers. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; no impact whatsoever from a lowly base for handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f; seventh of eight, beaten 21l) in December; off for 83 days since; rates as an unlikely candidate. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Poor form in bumpers/over hurdles; wears cheekpieces for Flat debut; Geordie Mackem looks the stable's main hope. |

Fifth and about to post one of his better efforts when falling at the last behind Bunker Bay latest (C&D), not his first spill over hurdles; work on from further out of the weights today even with a clear round. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Last of five here (2m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now 0-27 under all codes; effectively on same mark from out of the weights today; blinkers (worn once on the Flat in 2024) are given another try. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
8-59, although his last win came in a two-runner affair at Carlisle (2m1f; 2-5 favourite; all out) in December 2023; latest Carlisle sixth (beaten 15l; 50-1) not overly inspiring; others more obvious. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has won six times over hurdles, the latest a two-runner affair over C&D (good to soft) in December 2023; a couple of fair runs for this yard last year but pulled up when last seen out in January (reportedly never travelling); others appeal more. |
20/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
On a long losing spell and form figures of 246 this term reflect that a turnaround of sorts is required; admittedly appears well treated if that resurgence materialises, being 7lb below last winning mark. |
