12st 0lb |
Had a spell in the doldrums for previous yard, so was well treated on debut for this one at Hereford (2m5f, good) in May when having a match in safe keeping from a fair way out; that form amounted to little (second well below best then and since) but this one has gone back up just 2lb and should stay this first attempt beyond 2m5f under rules. |

12st 0lb |
Struggled last season on final three runs for the Newland/Insole yard; however, he won off 4lb higher at Bangor (2m4f, good) last April so has a handy mark to work with if a change of scenery has prompted a revival; new yard is enjoying a good month; remains in the same ownership. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Defied a double penalty when completing her hat-trick over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) 18 days ago; connections wasting little time in switching to fences for handicap debut and she looks to have been crying out for this longer trip; on a workable mark and could improve again. |

11st 12lb |
Followed up her Hereford win over C&D 16 days ago, though had to work hard to do so; shoulders a double penalty and she probably has greater potential over further, but she's still the one to beat. |

12st 0lb |
Has left his hurdle form behind over fences and he beat the odds-on winner with the pair clear at Stratford last weekend (2m3f, good to firm); carries a penalty for that in what looks a winnable contest. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
0-9 as a hurdler but only his fourth run over fences when making light work of The Gypsy Davey over C&D (add 23yds) six days ago; penalised accordingly but Paddy Hanlon's claim takes care of 5lb of that. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
13-race maiden, including three runs over fences, but showed more when travelling well for a long way last time, failing to stay 3m2f; needs to build on that and the drop back in trip is a plus; usually claimer ridden but not today. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten on last month's stable debut at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) but made a lot of the running before fading into fourth over that C&D (good to firm) in refitted cheekpieces and a first-time tongue a fortnight later, and it's worth remembering that his only career win came in this race in 2024; goes in just the tongue-tie today; interesting. |

1-12 over fences; below par for a while now, including on recent stable debut; new headgear combination. |
