9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won soft-ground course bumper in December and began hurdling career with two promising runs at Taunton (2m3f) this year, the latter a clear second on heavy ground last month; today's quicker conditions won't be a problem; respected. |
9/4 |

2nd 3 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won good-ground point bumper last season and built upon fairly encouraging first run under rules when winning Plumpton bumper (soft) in December; promise when fifth of 13 on C&D hurdle debut (good to soft) last month; open to improvement. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won good-ground point bumper last season and built upon fairly encouraging rules debut when winning run-of-the-mill Plumpton bumper (soft) last month; has a future over jumps but probably needs to improve here. |

11st 5lb |
Irish point winner; 5-4 when floored by a 300-1 chance (well held since) here in December but the front two were clear and heavy ground might not have been ideal; should have every chance. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won on Irish point debut (3m, soft) in April 2024 before being sold for £140,000 later that month; returns after 563 days off but yard won this with a well-backed runner last year and he's an interesting contender. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner who landed his second race over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; shapes as though he'll be suited by this step up in distance; respected. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
2m maiden hurdle (good) winner here in January; disappointed on heavy ground over C&D after but bounced back when a staying-on third on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m, good) last time, suggesting he'd be worth another try at this trip; respected back in a novice with Chad Bament claiming 7lb. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bumper winner who was well on top late on to win a Taunton maiden on good ground in January; highly likely that heavy ground didn't float his boat when tailed off back there under a penalty; doesn't look hurled in for this first handicap but he wouldn't be exposed yet. |

Showed a bit of promise in bumpers, especially behind good horses in the middle one; others have shown more, however. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
22,000euros foal, £25,000 3yo; fifth foal; half-brother to point winner Bally Free; dam placed 2m3f hurdle, closely related to useful 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Indian Castle; yard 23% in bumpers last season and interesting to see how he figures in market. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January and followed up at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy), both under Rian Corcoran; when third at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) it maybe came too soon, just six days after the Wincanton win; 7lb higher mark has now kicked in but he may still have more to offer. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps and deployment of Rian Corcoran, the pair obliging at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) and Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) with something in hand each time; unpenalised for the latter, and obvious case assuming the six-day turnround isn't too quick. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well-held fourth in his first three runs over hurdles but he found improvement when justifying support on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a convincing win under Rian Corcoran and he's open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Second in a point and his bumper run wasn't devoid of promise; however, has stopped quickly in two maiden hurdles, with and without a tongue-tie. |
14/1 |

2 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up on sole start in a point (2m5f, good) last March; showed some promise on rules/stable debut in an October bumper, but pulled up switched to hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in January, reportedly hanging right, still early days for respected connections. |
8/1 |

6 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up on sole start in a point (2m5f, good) in May and rules/bumper and stable debut in October wasn't without promise, albeit weak in the market; this longer trip should suit now switching to hurdles and he's worth considering. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
3,500euros foal; third foal; brother to point winner Ted The Thief; unraced dam out of half-sister to winners Cooldine (bumper and high-class 2m2f-3m hurdle/chase) and Fists Of Fury (useful 2m2f hurdle/3m1f chase); could be a longer-term prospect and is probably best watched on debut. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |

Runner-up at Newton Abbot and Lingfield but put firmly in his place in Listed race at Cheltenham in between; needs a great leap forward. |

2nd 8 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Fifth foal; brother to 1m4f winner Looking Dandy (RPR 66); dam German 1m4f winner, sister to bumper and 2m2f/2m4f hurdle winner Shanandoa, half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up The Giant Bolster; rare bumper runner for yard these days and market should guide. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Improved for the step up to 2m5f when storming home for fourth at 150-1 in the Turners at Cheltenham (good to soft) last month; he doesn't have the Cheltenham hill this time and his stablemate Bossman Jack would probably have beaten him at the Festival had he jumped the final flight proficiently, but this 5yo is unexposed at this sort of distance and could be a contender. |
7/1 |
|
4th 18 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Made a winning debut over hurdles here (about 2m, soft; first-time tongue-tie) in November; readily brushed aside by Hurricane Pat at Sandown the following month, however, and probably flattered to get closer to that rival when soundly beaten at Haydock last time; up in trip with work to do. |
50/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Built upon point/bumper promise (including on good to soft ground) to win on hurdle debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November; another good run when Listed runner-up at Sandown (2m, soft) since and he's 5lb better off with the winner Hurricane Pat, although that rival had plenty in hand. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |

Flattered to finish a length behind the trailblazing Bass Hunter at Ascot and he was then a disappointing favourite at Windsor (again on soft); no maiden has ever won this race. |
66/1 |
|
6th 8 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Some promise on Newton Abbot debut in October and he belied his 40-1 odds with strong-finishing second, clear of remainder, in Listed grade at Ascot (soft) last month; should be open to further improvement and likely to go well. |
