28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Confined to good ground for all eight races; a bumper and two-time novice hurdle winner who has been running well in staying handicap hurdles and he may well improve for going chasing, as did his useful dam. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Good ground for all seven of his races; won in small fields for a maiden (here) and a novice hurdle; ran creditably in 3m/2m7f handicaps on last two outings, seemingly needing some respite from the handicapper, who's not made much of a reaction, but this field may offer him a better chance. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Never progressed for Ben Pauling but has run well in three of his four starts for current yard and he did well to floor the higher-rated favourite in a 2m3f Warwick maiden hurdle last month (good); if taking to fences, he can run better than he did in his two handicaps over hurdles. |

Irish point form is nothing to crow about and he was 250-1 and 300-1 when beaten 70l in his two hurdle races (2m3f/2m4f). |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-13 in points and 0-8 under rules; seemingly aided by headgear (cheekpieces then blinkers) when running well on both starts last month (2m3f/2m) but probably needs to find something extra in first-time visor here and is not entirely straightforward. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had wind surgery prior to posting one of her better efforts last time (2m4f) but isn't guaranteed to build on it, being an inconsistent maiden; again out of the weights. |
