16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly promising fourth on hurdle debut in March 2023 and this lightly raced 8yo is one to watch in the betting following an absence; however, he made no impact when sixth late last year in his first two handicaps. |

In the frame in two Irish points in 2021; mainly modest form over hurdles, including on handicap debut here in November (2m4f, good to soft); stable in fine form and he's likely to fare better now upped in trip and switched to fences. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Maiden over hurdles and fences; back hurdling for his last three starts and has to raise his game; the cheekpieces may help. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden over hurdles and fences; two good efforts in small-field Fakenham chases last year but his placed form over hurdles since back from a break suggest he'll be pushed to get off the mark today. |

0-18 but he posted a solid third of nine back hurdling in 2m Huntingdon handicap 17 days ago; considered off a 2lb lower mark. |

Longstanding maiden under both codes but he was running well when crashing out two from home at Taunton 17 days ago (3m, good); enters the reckoning. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Didn't fire on latest outing but began handicap hurdle career with encouraging thirds at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and Fakenham (2m7f, good); 4lb lower now and Philip Armson claims 3lb today; could have a say. |
12/1 |

6th 8 |
3rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair stayer on the Flat (albeit a maiden); third in both handicap hurdles, more recently when upped to 2m7f at Fakenham (good) a fortnight ago, but needs to find something extra here; cheekpieces refitted. |

Yet to win and has a regressive profile, with recent form figures of PUP hardly a ringing endorsement; wind surgery, coupled with the fact that he competes from a lowly mark at a realistic level, are the positives; others preferred. |

10st 7lb |
Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; has had some struggles in a light campaign this season but he showed signs of a revival at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and has possibilities if he can build on that. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden over hurdles but has placed form and he won six on the Flat; made a bright start over fences in January but didn't fancy it at Huntingdon and refused early; the cheekpieces are off but wouldn't be a surprise to see him run well. |

Tailed off at Hexham (2m, good) last month on final run for Ollie Pears and sold for 2,600gns since; however, he was a fair third of six at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) in October; each-way shout if back on song. |

Fifth foal; closely related to 2m4f chase winner Thunder In Milan, half-brother to very useful chaser Kiltealy Briggs; dam unraced sister to Grand National winner Ballabriggs; likely to need longer trips to be seen to best effect and probably best watched on debut. |

Consistent spell last winter included a 2m3f win at Catterick (good to soft); not having such a steady time of it this winter but he hadn't been brushed off when coming down two out in the race won by The Paddy Pie at Sedgefield last month; in the mix if shrugging that off. |
