18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Quite a lively 9-1 shot when he went in at the first time of asking for Mac Gayveur's trainer Tom Weston at Chepstow (good) last March; picked up for £95,000 the following month and has joined a top stable; contender under a penalty on this reappearance. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Second in a bumper and third, albeit a remote one, to Sober Glory on his hurdling debut (good to soft); pulled up over C&D in November but the ground was soft and he's since had wind surgery (now wears a tongue-tie); he's not the obvious answer but can no doubt do better. |

Fourth foal; half-brother to winners Martha Willow (bumper) and Gamaline (French 2m hurdle); dam 1m4f-1m7f AQPS Flat/useful Irish 2m hurdle winner; stable 33% with bumper runners here in recent seasons; newcomer of note. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good) in November; found to have bled when well held next time and played up at the start (deemed a non-runner) at Exeter eight days ago; wore tongue-tie on those last three appearances and cheekpieces at Exeter, but has neither today; unexposed handicap debutant. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in November; found to have bled when well held at Doncaster since, which is a concern, but would have obvious claims if back to best with cheekpieces added. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Favourite for two of his three bumpers (good to soft or good), winning the first and on the latest occasion finishing third under a penalty at Chepstow where they didn't go much of a gallop; others in here have superior form but he's a likely improver over hurdles. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair form when placed on all three hurdling starts, most recently when well-held third behind very useful rival at Chepstow (2m, soft) in February; should be okay on the faster ground here and is bred to be suited by the step up in trip; respected. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
About 28l behind Bossman Jack when third on seasonal/hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, soft) last month but bettered that performance when close second there (2m, heavy) a fortnight ago and can improve again if/when he learns to settle better. |

Not far behind good horses when fifth at Chepstow 14 months ago, though they did go very steady; has since moved yards; likely best watched. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Useful form when second in his first bumper and some hanging didn't help; inferior form here in March but they did go very steady; open to lots of improvement now sent over hurdles. |

16th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |

Hung his chance away at Uttoxeter in November but it was an encouraging debut all the same; should be more streetwise with the run behind him and he's a strong candidate. |

16th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
