Kim Bailey Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of one of his three starts and currently rated 125 over hurdles. Off the mark in a novice hurdle at Ludlow (2m) last week when beating Grey Spirit seven lengths.

Trainer says

He won nicely the other day at Ludlow and I feel he is a horse that will only go on improving with time. He has a handicap mark of 125 which I think is quite comfortable for him and I'm quite happy with him. He's is only 16 hands so hurdling would be where he is at the moment.

Form profile

Best effort in two runs in bumpers when third, beaten three and a half lengths, to Tile Topper at Exeter on New Year's day.

Trainer says

He is entered this weekend and is a possible runner. He ran well in a bumper first time out but the ground was horrendous when he ran the second time and I think you can discount that. I am happy with him and he is a horse that should win his hurdle races.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 4 starts and currently rated 120 over hurdles. Off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Bangor (2m) in September when scoring by half a length from Maninsane.

Trainer says

I was pleased with his win at Bangor and that was impressive really, as he came home with quite a nasty cut on his leg. It has meant he has had to miss out a bit but he is a very nice horse and I think he is progressive. He is another three weeks or a month away from being ready and will carry a penalty somewhere.

Form profile

Winner of two of his four starts and currently rated 141 over hurdles. Winner of both of his hurdles this season scoring by seven and a half lengths from Zarrar at Ludlow (2m 5f) this month and following up with a four and three quarter length victory from Midnight River at Cheltenham (2m 5f) last weekend.

Trainer says

I was very pleased with his performance the other day at Cheltenham and obviously he is still an immature horse - he was very green the other day when he hit the front. I hope there will be plenty more to come out of him but we will have to see where we go. There is a possibility he could go back to Cheltenham and there are another couple of races for him and he certainly won't be running in handicaps.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 13 starts and currently rated 142 over fences. Much improved form this term and was gaining his third handicap victory from four starts when scoring by two and a half lengths from Aye Aye Charlie in a novice event at Hereford (3m 1f) last week off a mark of 137.

Trainer says

He is very much a good ground horse and he has had a fantastic autumn. I would say we are slightly limited now until we know where we will get the ground. His long term aim would be the bet365 Handicap Chase at Sandown in the spring.

Form profile

Winner of two of his five starts and currently rated 142 over hurdles. Gained his last success in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton (2m 4f) in January when beating Earth Moor six and a half lengths off a mark of 132.

Trainer says

He runs on Sunday at Huntingdon and he is a big horse who is very much a chaser. I was always surprised by what he did over hurdles and he will start over fences on Sunday.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 15 starts and currently rated 148 over fences. Won four times over fences in novice company last season and ended his campaign with a six length success from Rollerruler at Carlisle (2m) in March.

Trainer says

He is a difficult horse to place as he needs right handed tracks and heavy ground. There is a race for him at Ascot at the end of next month and it will be fingers crossed that it is soft enough for him. He had a phenomenal season last year and he has a very patient owner who has been supportive and I admire him, as the season before last he only ran once as he never had the ground.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

She is due to run at Warwick in ten day's time. She has a good pedigree and has pleased us at home so hopefully she will run accordingly.

Form profile

Winner of one of his four starts and currently rated 139 over hurdles. Finished fourth, beaten three and a half lengths, to Indefatigable in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m 4f) in March off a mark of 137 when last seen out.

Trainer says

He runs at Stratford on Thursday and I have been very pleased with the level of his work so far and he had a good level of form last year. He runs in a novices’ chase at Stratford today (October 29) and hopefully he will run well and progress from there.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts. Finished runner-up, beaten a length and three quarters, to Born In Boris in a novice hurdle at Wincanton (2m) in March when last seen out.

Trainer says

She won her bumper very nicely first time out and we probably went back to the well too soon next time at Market Rasen. She never showed any form whatsoever and we gave her a long break and brought her back over hurdles and she ran really well. The idea was to run her again over hurdles but the lockdown stopped that. She is a few weeks away from running and she will return in a novice hurdle somewhere.

Form profile

Winner of five of his nine starts and currently rated 157. Scored by three and a quarter lengths from Galvin in a Listed novices handicap chase at Cheltenham (2m 4f) in March off a mark of 143 when last seen out.

Trainer says

He delighted us with his win in the Listed novices' handicap chase at Cheltenham and we are trying to work out where we go. The plan is to go to Carlisle on Sunday but we will have to see what the ground is like.

Form profile

No wins from five starts and currently rated 119 over hurdles. Finished fifth, beaten 24 lengths, in a handicap hurdle at Bangor (2m 3f) on Monday off his current mark.

Trainer says

He disappointed me at Bangor on Tuesday and, hopefully, he can put that run behind him when he runs again. It was awful ground at Bangor.

Form profile

No wins from three starts. Finished sixth, beaten 27 lengths, Ask A Honey in a novice hurdle at Wetherby (2m 3f) this month.

Trainer says

He behaved like a child when he ran at Wetherby and he didn't know whether to pull, to jump or what, and was totally immature. He will probably need another couple of runs to make up his mind as to what is required. He is a big horse and future chaser but he showed a good level of form in bumpers and like a lot of horses from bumpers he ran over hurdles like a horse who hadn't seen a racecourse before.

Form profile

Winner of both of his bumpers in December 2018 and finished third, beaten 13 lengths, to Master Debonair on his hurdling bow at Ascot (2m) in November of last year.

Trainer says

He wants soft ground and is ready to run. It's a question of finding the races for him and he will remain in novice hurdles this season.

Form profile

Winner of four of his eight starts and currently rated 142 over fences. Won his first two novice chases last season including when beating Ardlethen four and a quarter lengths in the Grade 2 Towton Novices' Chase at Wetherby (3m) in February.

Trainer says

The long term plan would be something like the Welsh National. He had a good season and was probably lucky to win the Grade 2 Towton Novices' Chase at Wetherby but even so it was a nice race to win and he ran well enough at Cheltenham. He has had a wind operation since last season and that might help him. He is a huge, huge horse so time is of the essence with him.

Form profile

Winner of one of his six starts and currently rated 110 over hurdles. Best effort over hurdles last season when runner-up, beaten six and a half lengths, to Penny Mallow at Wetherby (2m 3f).

Trainer says

He goes to a novice handicap chase at Kempton next week. He disappointed us last year and it's probably because he is such a big horse and it has taken a long time for it to come together. Hopefully he will be better over fences.

Form profile

Winner of two of his six starts and currently rated 129 over hurdles. Off the mark over hurdles in a maiden event at Exeter (2m 1f) this month when scoring by 23 lengths from Wargrave.

Trainer says

I could believe he got beaten in his previous three starts but he did and he won very easily at Exeter the other day. His form is pretty good and the main opposition at Exeter fell but I think he would have won anyway. He is a progressive horse and a horse who doesn't like soft ground so we will run him again in about three weeks’ time.

Form profile

Winner of three of his six starts and currently rated 121 over hurdles. Made a winning reappearance in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m 4f) in September when beating Smith's Cross seven lengths and added to that in a similar event at Warwick (2m 5f) last week when beating Perfect Predator 14 lengths.

Trainer says

He won very nicely at Uttoxeter but the second horse ran again and finished nearly last and it probably wasn't as good as they thought. I think the race at Exeter where he finished third might turn out better than we thought and the other day at Warwick I thought he would have won anyway when Bryony (Frost) came down at the last. For a 10,000 kickout he's now won three races and been placed nearly every time he has run and he's not a bad animal.

Form profile

Winner of her point-to-point in Ireland in January.

Trainer says

I like her and she is about three weeks away from running. She is a soft ground mare and she will run in novice hurdles.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 6 starts and currently rated 115 over hurdles. Came closest to victory in three runs over hurdles last season on her reappearance at Warwick (2m 5f) in November when third, beaten four and three quarter lengths, to Winter Getaway.

Trainer says

She runs at Hereford on Monday and she had a disappointing season last time. I hope she can put that behind her now we are sending her chasing.

Form profile

Winner of one of his three starts and currently rated 126 over hurdles. Off the mark over hurdles at Stratford (2m 6f) this month when scoring by nine lengths from Barbados Buck's.

Trainer says

He won nicely at Stratford the other day and he seems to have a preference to going left-handed. I hope he might progress from what he showed the other day.

Form profile

Winner of one of his three bumpers. Off the mark with an eight lengths success from Mister Watson at Hereford last March.

Trainer says

His bumper form is rock solid and he is a lovely looking horse who jumps very well. He is three weeks away from running and he will compete in novice hurdles.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

He is a nice horse and he is a big baby who will run in about three weeks’ time and will probably stay in bumpers this season.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 11 starts and currently rated 146 over fences. Won three of his four starts over fences last season and landed a Grade 2 Novices' Chase at Warwick (3m) in January before going onto to finish runner-up, beaten 17 lengths, to Copperhead in the Grade 2 Reynoldstown Chase at Ascot (3m) in February.

Trainer says

He runs at Wetherby on Friday in a really competitive handicap chase. He had a great season over fences last year and we will see how he's progressed and whether he looks well handicapped or not.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 10 starts and currently rated 161 over fences. Prolific winning chaser who made a winning reappearance in the Grade 3 Sodexo Gold Cup at Ascot (3m) in November when beating Royal Encore five lengths off a mark of 151 and subsequently fourth, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to The Conditional in the Grade 3 Ultima Handicap at Cheltenham (3m 1f) in March off a mark of 159.

Trainer says

He runs at the weekend - probably at Wetherby and then we will see how he progresses from there. He has been a star for us and he won the Sodexo at Ascot last season after undergoing a wind operation. He ran a cracker in the Ultima at Cheltenham under top weight and there are other big races in him.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

I liked him last year and he was due to run before lockdown. He didn't summer very well but is now finally pulling himself together and he will run in bumpers this season. I don't think we will see him out until the end of November.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 13 starts and currently rated 154 over hurdles. Not seen out over hurdles since beating On The Blind Side nine lengths in the Grade 2 Select Hurdle at Sandown (2m 5f) in April 2019.

Trainer says

He has an entry in the West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby and whether he runs depends on ground otherwise he will go to Kempton for a Pertemps Qualifier under top weight.
