24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Only a respectable fourth of five at Sedgefield a fortnight ago, extending his losing run to 33; has a first-time visor added to his regular tongue-tie now. |

Wasn't beaten all that far over 3m at Musselburgh last month but that extended his losing run to 32; others preferred. |

From out of the handicap he's 2lb higher than when running well in fourth of 15 (good to soft) in this race 12 months ago; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game more recently and is now 0-31. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won a chase over 3m in September and nearly won another two runs back; produced a solid effort in defeat on his return to hurdling here last week and Sean Bowen rides again. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Gained a breakthrough win over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in September and posted a good second in handicap chase at Leicester (2m7f) when last seen out in December; proved reliable over hurdles so rates a player back in this sphere off a reduced mark. |
2/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Got off the mark on his third chase start at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; third to Grillon De Monty on his previous outing but he may have improved since. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In excellent form for new stable in the spring, winning three in a row under Fern O'Brien (2m4f-3m) on good ground; has fitness to prove after 116-day break and latest 10lb rise asks quite a lot of him but further progress is possible. |
7/4 |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon (20.5f, good) in April and followed up in a four-runner contest at Ludlow (3m, good) last month with Galway Reel 13l back in second; up 7lb and holds strong claims once again. |
8/13 |

11th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Mid-race unseat over fences on stable debut in March and got up late to win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) three weeks ago when back hurdling; there's every chance the step back up in trip will suit and he could have more to offer for this yard. |

No wins in 11 but was close up over C&D (soft) in January and 3m3f perhaps stretched him next time; possible. |
8/1 |

5th 7 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |

0-10 but he achieved his closest finish yet when third at Wetherby (3m, soft) recently; wears first-time cheekpieces and might not be far away. |

3rd 9 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Well held in two starts since a break but he is beginning to slip to a more workable mark now; if handling softer ground than of late, he may be able to get more competitive. |

11st 2lb |
Rallied well to open account at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer and was placed off today's mark on next outing; not yet fully exposed but absent since disappointing run in October. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |

Has found his level in handicaps, winning at Worcester and then digging deep for a close third at Uttoxeter (again at about 2m7f on good); respected. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Rallied to regain lead on run-in at Worcester (2m7f, good; front pair clear) in July, opening his hurdling account at the fifth attempt; not proven on ground slower than good but may have more improvement to come. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently when pulled up in soft-ground handicap on stable debut in January; combination of wind surgery, first-time hood and return to good ground could plausibly prompt a better performance here, though; worth a glance in the betting. |

Won over a similar trip at Stratford last summer (on good ground) when only 1lb lower; hasn't kicked on but might be better for a break. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |

Twice went close before off the mark at Stratford (3m2f, good) but hasn't kicked on from there and this trip might be on the sharp side. |

Eight-race maiden who has struggled in his four handicaps (2m-2m7f) and was well held in a Market Rasen novice last time; cheekpieces are now added and he needs improvement back up in trip. |
