2nd 9 (9) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won first two starts for this yard (1m2f/1m4f) last September; had a tough first handicap assignment and he may have found it all a bit much; sent off favourite for return at Newmarket 12 days ago and was bang there over 2f out before weakening (finished behind Ernst Blofeld); dropped 3lb and reunited with Rossa Ryan; looks set to leave that run behind. |
9/1 |

7th 1 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Promising third on last May's debut for Andrew Oliver then won first two starts for this yard, novices at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy) and Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in September; slightly underwhelmed with midfield finish in November handicap (1m4f, heavy) next time but retains bundles of potential ahead of this reappearance. |
5/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Finished third of ten behind Scandinavia on his Navan debut (1m2f, good) in May and made a successful debut for this yard at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy; 10-11) three weeks ago; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and strong claims under his penalty. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bumper and pretty useful hurdle winner, including at Haydock in the prestigious 2m Swinton 18 days ago when tongue tied for the first time; Flat career of just four races, latest when fourth of eight from the back when joint-favourite on Flat handicap debut at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; has more to offer in this sphere and is one to note. |
7/1 |
|
1st 9 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
In good form over hurdles last spring, winning at Stratford and Hexham (both 2m, good to soft); he's only 2lb higher than for the second of those wins, and a recent run on the Flat after six months off should have blown away the cobwebs; impossible to discount in first-time tongue-strap. |
33/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner in bumpers and a four-time winner over hurdles; below his best over hurdles last time but he has shown promise in this sphere, including when third of seven in a Ffos Las novice (1m4f) last August, and is interesting on this Flat handicap debut. |

Became disappointing over hurdles for Harry Derham and well beaten on the AW and over hurdles for current yard; hood tried. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Became disappointing over hurdles for Harry Derham last year and was down the field when returning in 1m4f AW handicap for new stable in March; opposable. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Relegated into a seller and he has form claims, having finished runner-up on two occasions this year; however, he did run desperately only ten days ago. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-6 over hurdles but ran well when close second at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month and is probably still on a workable mark after 1lb nudge; good chance. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten favourite when only seventh at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month and now 0-5 over hurdles but stayed on from poor position for second at Plumpton (2m, soft) two starts ago and may still have potential. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded before landing a handicap here over 1m5f in November; good places at Lingfield in two of his three starts since, bouncing back to be beaten a head over this trip in first-time cheekpieces 22 days ago; now 2lb higher but he should have more to offer over this far. |
7/4 |

9th 7 (4) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well held at big prices in three novice events (1m2f/1m4f) but he shaped like a stayer when third of five at Epsom last month and is a possible improver now upped to 1m6f on handicap debut; needs watching in the market. |

12th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y |
9st 9lb |
First seven runs were on AW; placed in three of five Dundalk outings for this stable, including a 3l third over this trip at Dundalk in March; made little impression at Limerick on turf debut; better ground may help. |

10th 8 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |

Rated 71 after seven starts on the AW; placed in three of five runs for this stable including a 3l third over this trip at Dundalk on latest; place chance if acts on turf but more needed to win. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden but he finished well to go very close over C&D (11-2) in January; only 1lb higher after a short break and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two fair efforts over 1m since handicapping, including when fourth of ten over C&D in November; form dipped slightly at Lingfield last time but he's not fully exposed and far from ruled out. |

9st 10lb |
Placed in all three novices including two over 1m4f on Polytrack, but failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) nine days ago; return to AW may help, but she has something to prove after that latest effort. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Richly bred 3yo, out of dual German Group 1 winner who's bred some classy winners, including Farrh; has kept good company in three qualifying runs on turf and the AW (1m2f and 1m4f), showing promise each time, and has to be of great interest in her most realistic assignment so far. |
