24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Some promise in brief Flat career but he hasn't shown much in his four runs over hurdles; had wind surgery before penultimate start. |

Showed promise on the Flat for Karl Burke, but hasn't shown much in three runs over hurdles, including on first run after wind surgery last time; this better ground may suit but plenty to prove. |

16th Jul 2025 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well held at big prices in a bumper, a hurdle and three starts on the Flat (good to firm); much better is needed on handicap debut. |

10st 2lb |
Struggled at 150-1 on bumper debut in Ireland in December 2023; pulled up in Bangor maiden hurdle (2m, good) on comeback last month and was tailed off when switched to the Flat at Doncaster (1m4f novice) on Sunday; can only be watched. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Unusual profile, having been pulled up in a Tabley point-to-point last May before reappearing with three quick qualifying runs on the Flat (1m-1m4f, good/good to firm) this summer in cheekpieces; worth putting on market watch now up in trip for handicap debut. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Registered a first Flat win when scoring over C&D in January and it was a creditable effort when chasing home St Faz at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) six days ago; work to do if he's to turn the tables but still one of the more likely ones. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Recorded his first Flat success when scoring at Southwell in January (1m6f); he has run to a similar level in defeat since and he should remain competitive. |

4-22 over hurdles but just 1-15 on the Flat, the win coming at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in January; only 1lb higher, though, and should make his presence felt. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on softer than good when on turf; made immediate progress when switched to AW in the autumn, completing a hat-trick in a 1m4f novice and 1m4f/1m6f handicaps; perhaps in need of the race (albeit joint-favourite) on reappearance last month and fifth of 12 at Newmarket (1m6f) four weeks later was respectable, but settling him was an issue; suitability for a slog over 2m can therefore be questioned. |
4/1 |

5th 8 (7) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Made immediate progress when switched to AW in the autumn, completing a hat-trick in a 1m4f novice and 1m4f/1m6f handicaps; perhaps in need of the race (albeit joint-favourite) on reappearance four weeks ago, but now needs to show that he can serve up his best on turf. |
8/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Immediate progress for switch to AW in the autumn, especially in handicaps on last two starts when a ready winner over 1m4f at Newcastle, then held off a subsequent improver at Wolverhampton (1m6f); up further 3lb; James Doyle rarely rides for yard now but 10-41 overall; can do better again. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles but that could change now he's into handicap company; market confidence would be welcomed. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Has failed to shine in two attempts over hurdles and may be more interesting in handicaps shortly; otherwise retains potential judged on Flat record (2-4; best RPR 85). |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Dual novice winner who was second (no match for the winner) in a C&D Racing League handicap before not appearing to stay 1m6f at Haydock (Class 2); remains of interest. |
4/1 |

4 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in July on second start and followed up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); no match for Circus Of Rome on handicap debut at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) recently but did well to beat the remainder and is 9lb better off with the winner this afternoon; could be suited by the step up to 1m6f and he's one to consider. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Made debut in June and won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) on second start before following up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); this well-bred Frankel colt has potential off his opening mark; player on AW debut. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Made his debut only last June and has had just four races; long odds-on for 1m4f novice win in August and best form when second of six to Sing Us A Song on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, again good to soft; came from the back) in September; probably still a work in progress at that stage and he starts 2026 (for in-form yard) with significant potential. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for June's debut (1m2f) when second and recording a very useful RPR at Doncaster (also good to firm) the following month; wasn't overly impressive when off the mark at cramped odds at Ffos Las (also 1m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago but did look better the further he went and this step up in trip is surely a positive; handicap debut. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (3) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved for June's debut run at Sandown when upped in trip and going close at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month; his dam was a Group 3 winner and he holds leading claims for his top yard. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten over hurdles last time; has taken Flat form to a new level since switched to AW, finishing second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last September then going one better at Chelmsford (2m) in January; open to further progress back in this sphere, provided he takes to new headgear. |
11/4 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Back from a break to get off the mark on the Flat last month (sixth attempt), albeit in a low-grade 2m handicap on the AW; has the stamina for hurdling and Sean Bowen is booked, but others are still preferred. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of five on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces, kept since) in August but posted an improved effort when second at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) 145 days ago, shaping as if this longer trip would suit; off since but needs a second look. |
