16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two near-misses in Irish points but he found plenty when winning a Hereford bumper on yard debut; mixed fortunes over hurdles but he was a convincing winner of his third handicap, here (2m, soft) latest, more so than the 1.5l winning distance suggests; up 5lb; obvious potential on chase debut. |

1st 3 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won his sole bumper but he's 0-5 over hurdles; ran creditably when a 3l third on handicap debut here (2m4f, good to soft) in December but he was disappointing at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) last month; has a bit to prove after that and not sure this drop back in trip is ideal. |
9/2 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Second in two Irish points last autumn and battled well to go one better in Hereford bumper (good to soft) on rules debut in February (runner-up won next time); makes hurdle debut here; features prominently in calculations. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Had wind surgery since failing to convince over 2m4f in the EBF Final on this track last time on stable debut; return to 2m looks a plus but he's still seeking first rules win away from Hereford. |
33/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Hasn't progressed as expected since Hereford win (2m, good) in the autumn and finished only fourth in handicap there in January; hopes rest on a change of trainer (same ownership) and the fitting of a tongue-strap. |
16/1 |
|
1st 7 |
22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner; beaten about 7l at Aintree and then only a length here (good to soft) behind his market rival who had shown ability in points; has the best form and the benefit of course experience, so clear claims. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in a Hereford bumper (good to soft) and maiden hurdle (about 2m4f, good; kept on) last year; didn't build on latter effort when sixth in novice (2m, soft) back at that track in January; still early days. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
0-10 but she ran well when second here (2m3f, good) in March and rallied for a respectable fifth at Taunton (good) three weeks ago on her first crack at 3m; shaped last time as though today's extra yardage could be in her favour and she might be in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden but she's a reliable sort, runner-up at Hereford (2m4f, good) last time, and looks worth a crack at this sort of trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Not beaten far in any of her hurdles, latterly in two handicaps, shaping better than the bare result on both occasions, latest at Taunton (2m3f, good) in December when losing her pitch leaving the back straight before staying on again; one to consider off 3lb lower. |

11st 11lb |
All eight races on good/good to soft ground; runner-up at Market Rasen (2m7f) in December on second handicap start and faded into fourth here (3m2f) last time; possible player back down in trip, provided conditions suit. |
15/8 |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Stable jockey rides their other one but this gelding has been ridden by Tristan Durrell in all his four races; beaten 10l and 18l in two novices and this looks stronger again. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Hasn't made any striking progress since winning his maiden in October but it wasn't a bad run off 2lb higher here last time; shouldn't be far away. |

4th 7 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won a Fontwell maiden (2m2f, good to soft) in October but he's not gone on from that and was pulled up in a Taunton handicap (2m3f, good) in January; still has low mileage but some questions to answer and others are preferred. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has produced two respectable efforts since switching to handicaps this season, most recently when fourth over 2m4f at Aintree last month, though that did appear to stretch her stamina; dropping back in trip should help, but she does appear to be on a tough mark. |
16/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Outran 80-1 odds when second in run-of-the-mill Worcester maiden (2m, good) in August and was running well before falling on both subsequent outings but today's race is much stronger. |

12th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
French-bred 5yo; outpaced in closing stages of tactical race at Taunton (good to soft) in November but still displayed significant promise there (finished fourth); likely to make his presence felt here. |
3/1 |

90,000euros 3yo out of a dam who was placed over fences in France; of obvious interest for his leading yard. |
