8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Superbly bred, being a half-brother to Douvan and Jonbon; not in their league but doubled his career tally with Southwell maiden success (2m, good to soft) most recently and looks likely to progress further; respected. |
11/4 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Perth bumper winner in April (2m, good to soft; Joeybottles 3.5l back in third); the better of two runs over hurdles when second at Ayr (2m, soft; 5-6) last time on first run after wind op; obvious contender. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Clear runner-up behind useful rivals on two of his five hurdling starts; unseated rider when short-odds favourite last time but has a big role to play if all goes well on this first venture beyond 2m. |
6/4 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Best hurdles efforts when clear second at Sandown (behind useful opponent) in November and over C&D (behind main market rival) latest start, both on good to soft ground; the form pick. |
4/9 |
|
2nd 9 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up in Uttoxeter bumper (2m, good) last March; best hurdles run when second at Sandown (2m, good to soft; winner and third have both won since) in November; well below that since but chance on the earlier run. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well in a bumper here last April on debut (good to soft) and, having had wind surgery, he made a winning handicap debut at 9-2 at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; did it easily and a 10lb rise may not stop him. |
3/1 |

1st 7 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
All runs on good to soft or soft; third in a bumper and has been showing enough to believe he'll pay his way in handicaps, last time finishing just ahead of Titanium Ring at Ludlow; likely contender after wind surgery. |
100/30 |
|
5th 4 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
All runs on good to soft; third in a Perth bumper and left his first run over hurdles behind when fourth in a 2m maiden at Southwell (fitted in a first-time tongue-tie); doesn't have compelling claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Showed improved form on his handicap debut when a short-head second to a previous winner at Bangor last time (2m3f, good); chance on that run. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Hasn't looked devoid of ability in bumpers or over hurdles and could take a step forward now into handicaps. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Modest form in five runs over hurdles, pulled up in handicaps on last two; first-time tongue-tie worn last time is persevered with, joined by first-time blinkers; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Modest form in four starts over hurdles, latest when pulled up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March on handicap debut; first-time tongue-tie is now fitted on this step up in trip; hard to fancy. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Yet to make the frame in a trio of runs over hurdles, seventh in 2m Hereford novice four weeks ago; needs this switch to handicaps to spark some progress. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Quite useful on the Flat at his best; always behind on first two hurdling starts and didn't achieve huge amount when well-held third in slowly run Southwell maiden (2m, good) last month but is still worth a glance in the betting before this handicap hurdle debut; tongue-tie refitted. |

3rd 4 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for David Menuisier but yet to fire for his current yard, including in two hurdles; can't make a case for. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
In excellent hands but he's yet to show any form of note, pulled up in 2m Southwell novice last month; significantly more is required on his first go in handicap company. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Modest form in two bumpers for Paul Webber; no improvement in two 2m4f hurdle runs at Fakenham for this yard; needs to improve for drop in trip. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |

Showed nothing in two bumpers for Paul Webber and a similar tale on stable/hurdle debut here last month, despite being only 7-2; lots to prove. |
