24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Very unexposed 4yo who won Wincanton maiden (1m7f, good; first-time hood) comfortably in March on British debut; managed only third when odds-on to follow up at Chepstow in April and needs to learn to settle better but moves into handicaps with significant potential and Freddie Keighley looks very good value for his 8lb claim against other conditionals. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up on debut in France last summer and won very comfortably when reappearing for Paul Nicholls at Wincanton (1m7f, good; first-time hood) last month; could easily have a lot more to offer and makes obvious appeal. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made the frame in four of his six chases for the Greenall/Guerriero stable last season and reverts to hurdling for new yard on a workable mark but others appeal more all the same; tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two seconds and a third over fences for this yard, from 2m to 2m4f; had a couple of blips as well but he was too free last time at Southwell and now goes in cheekpieces (tongue tied last time); possibilities. |
3/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Just one blip in four starts for this yard and it was a solid effort when third of 11 at Ayr (about 2m, soft) three weeks ago; previously twice a runner-up over this sort of trip and now the tongue-tie goes on; respected. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Longstanding maiden but has run some solid races in handicaps, including on her last four appearances (new yard on last two starts); handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so looks sure to be heavily involved. |
9/4 |

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win over hurdles (0-11) but shaped better than the bare form suggests when a rallying third at Stratford (2m, good; hood discarded) 11 days ago on second start for the stable and may have more to offer; worth considering with Theo Gillard back in the saddle. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Struggled to get competitive in three maiden/novice hurdles for Fergal O'Brien in the spring; makes stable/handicap debut from a lowly mark but still needs last month's wind op to have made a big difference. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Flat-bred 5yo who was well beaten in a bumper and two hurdles (1m7f/2m3f) last season; needs addition of tongue-tie to make a massive difference. |

Beaten at least 34l when consenting to jump off over hurdles, often refusing to settle; couldn't put maximum faith in him, even before factoring in a mark which looks stiff even judged on his peak bumper efforts. |
