10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Bidding to emulate stablemate Handlethekettle, who took the same C&D 0-140 as him last year before going on to add this race; 4lb rise for that latest win leaves him with nothing in hand on peak RPRs and he could still jump better, but there's nothing halfway as progressive in opposition. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Joined Jamie Snowden after winning Irish bumper in October and is 2-3 over hurdles this spring, the latter win gained at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm); tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap debut and ideally needs to brush up his jumping but it's hard to gauge the limit of his ability. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Joined Jamie Snowden after Irish bumper win in October; made underwhelming stable/hurdle debut in March but justified odds-on favouritism in five-runner Exeter maiden (2m, good) last month and is open to significant further improvement over this longer trip; leading contender. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Longstanding maiden but in good nick for his new stable, fifth of 13 in 2m Ludlow novice in November; no forlorn hope after a break. |

2nd 11 |
14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Is 0-16 over hurdles but some good runs in defeat recently; finished 3l behind the winner at Clonmel in June (2m1f, good to yielding); likely didn't handle the softer conditions at Killarney following that but posted another good effort in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time when a 2.25l third of seven (2m, good to yielding); cheekpieces go on now; he is not discounted and is due to be raised 4lb in future. |

11st 4lb |
The most experienced of the field is 0-17 but has run well in defeat, including a 3l second in a Clonmel handicap hurdle off 96 in June (2m1f, good to yielding); well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time (2m1f, yielding to soft); could do better back on good ground. |

Got back on the up with a breakthrough success in 2m4f handicap at Ffos Las 22 days ago; she must enter calculations back up 2lb. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish mare who is 0-11 under rules and has been beaten about 15l in her two handicaps; unwise to rate her subsequent placed form in maidens as improvement; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
7yo who has been beaten 24l or more in his five starts including three over hurdles; this is more realistic on handicap debut but he's taken a strong hold in his last two starts and he needs improvement with hood added. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; hooded and tongue tied when a remote third of eight in 2m2f novice here for his new yard recently; lots more is required. |

3rd 2 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
It wasn't a desperate run when beaten 24l behind a useful horse in a Tramore maiden hurdle in October (yielding); new trainer fits new headgear and lowers this 7yo's sights. |
