14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Landed his second race over hurdles when scoring at Doncaster (2m, soft) in November; has been a beaten favourite on two starts since but is still quite unexposed and should run well. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

2-4 over hurdles, the latter win gained in Doncaster handicap (2m, soft) in November; slightly disappointing when upped to 2m3f at Haydock in December but may still have potential and remains of interest. |

Soundly beaten when fifth of 12 at 9-1 on debut in Hereford bumper (2m, good to soft) in December but that run gives him something to build on and his yard is in fine form; market check advised on hurdle debut. |

Below par at Wincanton in December and turned over at odds-on at Ludlow last month, following wind surgery; however, she's not ruled out in view of the promise she showed on her first two hurdle starts in November. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced since French Flat win in 2022; close up in three of his four races for Venetia Williams and back from a long break when narrowly denied at Hereford (2m, good to soft) on latest, albeit by a 16-1 chance who hadn't shown much previously; thereabouts. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1-9 on the Flat in France (RPR 105) and showed ability in two starts over hurdles on a soft surface at Ludlow (2m) in February, his latest third of 12 catching the attention of the stewards; has looked highly strung, but he gives the strong impression he has a much bigger effort in him and this isn't a deep race. |

Hooded the last twice; went off a bit hot when beaten under 4l in a 2m novice at Ludlow (soft) the last time; needs to settle down and perhaps best watched for now. |

Improved upon sole bumper run when third on hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft) in December in a first-time hood (retained); he was no match for the front two but they look useful and this son of a Listed hurdle winner is open to further progress; respected. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton. |
9/1 |

11th 5 (1) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten 11l when fifth in a maiden hurdle at Hereford three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for his win at Chepstow (1m4f, good) last May but will likely find this trip on the sharp side on his switch back to the Flat (all wins over 1m2f or further). |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

0-5 over hurdles and absent since June but shaped well before fading into third in C&D (good) maiden on that latest outing and could plausibly still have a bigger run in him on this handicap return. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Promising hurdles debut when fourth of nine at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in February, but has regressed badly in three starts since including on his return/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) in September; hood now added, but still has plenty to prove. |

Won on the Flat for Hughie Morrison in 2024 but was soundly beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles for Sheila Lewis in 2024-25 season; makes stable/handicap hurdle debut after 462-day absence; could be considered only if lively in the betting. |
