17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Still a maiden but is attractively treated on best form and less exposed at this trip than shorter; interesting, especially with useful and in-form amateur Eireann Cagney booked. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Fairly treated on a couple of pieces of form during the summer, but recent efforts not amongst his best and now 0-15; others preferred. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Good third at Hamilton (good) in July and he bumped into an improving filly when a modest second at Ripon (also about 1m, soft) one week later; form has dipped the last twice but he's not totally dismissed from this career-low mark reunited with Oisin Orr; first try at 1m2f. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 65y |
11st 5lb |
Dual AW winner in Britain; money arrived for him on handicap debut at Clonmel (2m, soft) and he scored by a length under a hand ride; up 10lb. |

1st 9 |
2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |
11st 1lb |
Dual AW winner in Britain; some promise on hurdle/stable debut when fourth at Fairyhouse, raced keenly; made little impact at Thurles and Naas but could be a different proposition on handicap hurdle debut for shrewd connections; monitor the betting. |
10/1 |

8th 17 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |

Dual AW winner in Britain for William Knight with a rating of 68; some promise in his hurdling/stable debut, 14.5l fourth of 12 at Fairyhouse; ran keenly that day; hooded at Thurles last time when a much bigger price and ran like it; others preferred. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Couldn't quite seal the deal having led over 1f out at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f); decent claims on that, though not sure it was solely the draw which contributed to a moderate effort on Nottingham's turf before that (RPR of 45 in his division versus Glitter Code's 62 in his). |
4/5 |

10th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten a nose and a head into third of eight on his reappearance/handicap debut at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in April and had possible excuses when well held at Nottingham (1m, good) nine days ago; respected back on AW. |
5/1 |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gelded after final 2yo start and well-backed second favourite for handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) on return, hanging over 1f out but doing his best work at the finish in a close third; 1m looks sure to suit and another step forward is likely if he proves effective on turf. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
A 7f AW winner as a 2yo but just minor form in handicaps at 6f to 1m6f for this yard since April 2025; others are much higher up the list. |
33/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
7f AW win as a 2yo for Philip Makin; generally struggled for current stable though and steps up markedly in distance with a point to prove. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Struggled for this yard in 2025; down in the weights and should appreciate returning to Tapeta but still not an obvious winner. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-6; posted her best effort when third of 11 at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May but she failed to beat a rival home at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) 23 days ago; drops back to 7f in the first-time visor on the return to turf, which could be a positive. |
12/1 |

5 (2) |
10th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well held in first four starts over 6f/7f (three on the AW), but much better when third of 11 at Carlisle (7.7f, good to firm) last month; races off the same mark and each-way claims if as effective back on Tapeta. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (7) |
19th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back on turf having shown promise in novice company over 6f; 5l eighth of 13 when stepped up to 7f on handicap debut at Kempton last time and needs to improve for this further step up in trip; stable in form. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Minor form since handicapping at 7f-1m1f in the spring (hood added latest, now discarded) but it's not impossible on pedigree that she'll cope with the big step up in trip; still has something to prove. |
25/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Out of the frame in all six starts over 6f-1m1f on turf/AW; down another 3lb but needs to benefit from the fitting of a hood. |
12/1 |

2 (6) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Close sixth at 150-1 in Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) in March but down the field since in her first two handicaps (7f/1m, AW/good to firm); needs to raise her game. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Maiden prior to posting form figures of 1133 in last four appearances, close third at Doncaster (1m) on seasonal debut latest; upped in grade but may remain competitive. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 13 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Scored twice (around 1m) at Leicester and Lingfield last summer but not seen out after a solid third in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap in September; she has gone well fresh though so can't be discounted. |
8/1 |
|
2 (1) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had showed winning potential before coming good at Leicester and following up at Lingfield (1m AW), again with a bit in hand; raised a collective 7lb but could deal with that. |
