13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well beaten in first two handicaps (2m4f, soft/heavy) but combination of better ground and first-time tongue-tie enabled significant improvement at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) last month, where she kept on too strongly for the odds-on favourite; further progress is possible. |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has struggled badly in three starts on soft/heavy since finishing third of 12 in a mares' maiden hurdle at Wetherby (1m4f, good) a year ago; could be interesting if the ground dries out with a tongue-tie given a go. |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Signs of promise in a bumper and maiden hurdle; still early days but she was tailed off on handicap debut at Carlisle in November (2m4f, soft; 12-1) and needs to be an entirely different proposition this afternoon. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Came good under rules at Huntingdon (2m3f, heavy) in February, her second handicap; found one just too strong when odds-on to follow up at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) last month but was given a wind op soon afterwards and now moves up in trip; probably still has potential. |

2nd 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Stable debut at Leicester in January landed her amateur rider in hot water, but she made no mistake under Sean Bowen at Huntingdon (2m4f, heavy) last month; up 8lb and it remains to be seen if testing ground is important to her, but she remains unexposed; should be hard to beat. |

1st 5 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner; picked up for £15,000 in October after heavy defeats in non-handicaps for previous yard; favourite for stable debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) after an absence but never got involved for a jockey having her first ride under rules; plenty to find with After Many Days on that run but Sean Bowen now takes over. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't fire over hurdles at Perth a fortnight ago and is now 0-13 in that sphere but he's generally pretty consistent and will be suited by the trip-and-ground combination on this chasing debut. |

13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Consistent but continues to seek first win (0-12); produced another decent effort when runner-up at Fakenham (2m4f, good; 11-2) five weeks ago; that form took a slight hit when third-placed Coolkatie was a well-beaten favourite at Uttoxeter subsequently. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
11yo who belatedly opened his account here (2m2f, good) in September, his 21st start over hurdles, and has remained in good form since; probably won't be far away but younger rivals have more potential. |
7/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Course regular who is 1-27 under rules, though the win came over C&D (good) in September; still 8lb higher and more exposed than most, but should still run his race back from a short break. |
4/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Ran well when third (albeit well held in the end) at Stratford (2m2f, good) in July and had excuse for subsequent poor performance (irregular heartbeat) but he's 0-20 over hurdles now; others preferred. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
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. |
33/1 |
