17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
0-9 but he's run well in defeat in handicaps on his last three starts (3m/2m5f, good to soft); his latest second at Taunton has been franked by the winner and he could be firmly involved. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A maiden after two bumpers and six hurdles races; second over C&D last month, when he didn't give up his lead lightly, and not disgraced when third back down to 2m5f at Kempton on latest start; more to prove on worse than good to soft; otherwise he has clear each-way claims. |
3/1 |

3rd 11 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Looks sure to find a race judged on a good show at Taunton (3m, good to soft) recently, where he didn't give up his lead lightly, but this sharper test in a race which may take more winning could test him. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

A prolific winner in points, he got off the mark under rules at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher but looks the type that can go in again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

Remains winless under rules but he was a multiple points winner after leaving Paul Nolan in Ireland and has started well for his new yard, a strong-travelling second of 11 in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Exeter 23 days ago; can go one better here. |

11st 11lb |
Consistent thus far in very short career, beaten about 11l when third of nine at 9-2 on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); improvement needed today but he's lightly raced and in good hands. |
15/2 |

3rd 5 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Third in an Irish point and placed in two staying novice hurdles under rules, last time finishing 17l third of four at Uttoxeter (good to soft); completely unexposed and worth a market check on handicap debut. |

12st 2lb |
Tailed off at Chepstow in December on sole run this season and could do with settling better (2m7f, good to soft; attracted market support on that handicap debut); however, he readily made all under Ella Herbison in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last April and retains potential. |

1st 6 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Point winner who has made an encouraging start to his hurdling career this year; no match for short-odds winner when second here (2m6f, heavy) in February and ideally needs to learn to settle better, but he's a contender. |

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. |

Another C&D winner (November) but could have run a lot better on last two outings, latterly only five days ago when tried in a visor; the blinkers return but this is a quick turnaround. |
14/1 |

6th 8 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |

Much better could have been expected at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December last time but he won here (2m7f, good to soft) in November and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a good run now back here in a first-time visor (replacing blinkers). |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Returned from layoff with 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) last autumn and was also in good form when last seen in the spring; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers on this reappearance outing; major player if fully tuned up after latest break. |

Runner-up twice for Dan Skelton in the winter (2m3f/3m1f) but left that stable after a disappointing run in March and was pulled up after performing poorly for new yard three weeks ago (2m3f); back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |

4l runner-up on handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and similar outcome in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this unexposed 6yo could continue to progress for his top stable and he's a possible player. |

11st 6lb |
Tailed off at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December on sole outing this season; something to prove on that back of that but this very lightly raced 7yo is with a good yard and has shown promise previously; wears first-time cheekpieces and he's not written off. |

24th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Unexposed 6yo who was placed in a soft-ground bumper last spring and has also shown promise in three novice hurdles this season (2m-2m4f); untested on ground quicker than good to soft but should have some improvement to come in handicaps. |
11/4 |

8th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in the second of his two bumpers and he ran well for a long way when a 7l sixth on hurdling debut at Exeter (2m, soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; didn't build on that when fifth at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last time but it's still early days and he should have more to offer; one of two runners for Paul Nicholls. |

Won at Galway (2m, good) in July 2024; downhill thereafter, ending time in Ireland competing on the Flat; third of five at Exeter (2m; 33-1) on second start for this trainer but tough to fancy on strength of his other two efforts. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Hurdle/chase winner in Ireland but on a losing run now and, although he ran better when third of four finishers at Exeter recently than he had on his yard debut there, a few more pounds off his back wouldn't go amiss. |

Awarded a point in February 2024 (3m, heavy); encouraging third on hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in November; took backward step there ten days later (2m4f, soft) but now goes handicapping following a second wind surgery; interesting contender, especially if attracting market support. |

Didn't appear to stay 3m5f at Bangor two starts ago but fared little better when pulled up at Exeter last month back at a trip that should have suited; had been in good form prior to those runs and would hold at least place claims if able to rekindle that earlier spark. |
