3rd 1 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has improved for patient tactics, winning at Haydock (1m7f, good) before going close in the always-strong Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (good to soft); raised 3lb for that but this former smart Flat performer should be seen to good effect around here. |

2nd 5 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it four wins from his eight starts over hurdles (various ground) when returning to form to score at Haydock (1m7f, good) two months ago, when ridden more patiently; 5lb higher in a better race today and needs a career-best but he's unexposed under hold-up tactics and is not written off. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Talented Flat performer (stayed 1m6f) who won three novice hurdles this year (2m4f/2m, various ground) before finishing fourth of 14 in novice handicap final at Sandown (2m, good) in April; could have more to offer now back up in trip and trainer has won the last three runnings. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Admirably consistent handicapper who didn't run too badly when midfield in the County Hurdle last month; however, this is a step up the ladder for him and regular rider Jack Kennedy evidently prefers the chances of The Yellow Clay. |
10/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Big improver in recent months, winning strong 2m Leopardstown handicaps at the Christmas meeting (yielding) and at the Dublin Racing Festival (heavy); will need to improve again to complete a hat-trick of big-field successes but that can't be ruled out in his current mood. |

1st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Steady improver put up his best effort when winning over C&D last time; is 8lb higher in a tougher race so will have to progress again, but is possible he could do so. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise when beaten 30l+ in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m-2m4f) during the winter and seems rather harshly treated for this handicap debut but, nevetheless, he's open to significant improvement if he takes well to fences. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very respectable fourth over C&D (soft) on hurdle debut in January and looked set to finish third here (heavy) before penultimate-flight fall in February; each-way claims if tuned up after 250-day absence. |

11th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Posted her first piece of worthwhile form when 100-1 second of six behind easy winner at Carlisle (2m1f, good) last month; that was a weak race and further improvement is needed today, but she's in good hands to progress. |
