24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was tailed off when 66-1 for last month's handicap debut over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces); huge improvement needed. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Pretty poor in points and three runs over hurdles from 2m to 2m4f; handicaps are now a better option and he goes in cheekpieces, but there are plenty of risks to consider. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Very smart when at his best on the Flat but doesn't look the force of old and pulled up here in June on handicap debut over hurdles. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Makes handicap hurdle debut looking well treated on best Flat form, albeit with recent evidence (including under this code) suggesting he's not the force of old. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart at his best on the Flat; made low-key start to hurdling career during the winter but positives can be drawn from his fourth at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and he ought to be better suited by the faster ground here. |

Made the frame four consecutive times over hurdles in early part of last season, once over C&D (good to firm) off his lowly handicap mark; absent since September and not favoured by the weights today but might collect another minor prize. |

Won a Flat race in 2023 but is 0-21 over hurdles; tailed off on last two starts, admittedly in a maiden last time after four months off but he does not look a solid option; tongue tied first time. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in all three bumpers last year; did not get competitive in first three hurdle races but his fifth at Perth (2m, good) in May was more encouraging and he's open to significant further progress in handicaps. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Maiden (0-12); runner-up three times, including when chasing home Belvedere Bhoy at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) early last month; took a sharp backward step at Kelso subsequently, so it's tough to have confidence; added cheekpieces may eke out a fraction more. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles and has rather mixed record this season but ran big race in defeat at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) 16 days ago and has obvious claims if in the right mood again here. |

2nd 3 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |

Lacked fluency on last month's chasing debut and now quickly reverts to hurdling; has claims if judged on his second off today's mark at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in December but his record is rather mixed. |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 11y |

Maiden has been dropping down the handicap this year; best run came when beaten just over 7l at Fairyhouse last time over 2m; down 2lb and needs to find more up in trip. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won four-runner Irish point (good) last April but made no impression when sixth of ten finishers on hurdles debut at Perth (2m, good; 33-1) the following month; steps up in trip but has plenty on here. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Displayed improvement to win four-runner Irish point last month (good ground) but the close second was a modest maiden hurdler under rules and the form is not worth much; makes stable/hurdle debut today. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won three in a row at Perth last May-September (2m, good; two of them handicaps) and has run with credit in defeat in Graded races on last three starts, the first two over 2m/2m1f (good to soft) and the latest at 3m (soft); he might not be far away. |

3rd 11 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has steadily progressive form, albeit mostly at about 2m and his latest effort (in Aintree Grade 1) is open to question as several hurdles were omitted; something to prove back up markedly in trip. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |

Progressive 5yo judged on his hat-trick of wins on good ground at Perth, doing it readily in handicaps on his last two starts; has considerably more on his plate at this loftier level and softer ground could be an issue for him. |
