25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer; runner-up on first three hurdle starts (all 2m) before cruising clear in four-runner Ascot maiden (2m3f, good) last month; could easily have more improvement to come in handicap hurdles; interesting. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who then won two Flat handicaps for Ralph Beckett; he's getting there over hurdles judged on his near miss at Taunton (2m, good) and this longer trip could trigger the improvement he'll need to trouble West Hill Verde. |

2nd 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper winner who then won two handicaps on the Flat for Ralph Beckett, the latest at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in October; runner-up on both starts over hurdles, last time finishing 10l second at Kempton (2m, good; third has won since); contender. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
0-9 but was runner-up on handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) last month and he filled the same position behind an odds-on rival in a maiden at Ascot (2m3f, good) last time; needs to find more at this new trip but he still has potential and is a half-brother to a 2m7f chase winner. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has something to find on all the figures with West Hill Verde but this eight-race maiden probably ran his best race yet in a Haydock handicap (2m3f, good to soft) and the winner is an improver who has followed up; effective on good ground so should give his running. |
5/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Went close in his final two bumpers last season but has been set some stiff tasks and looked a work in progress over hurdles; step up in trip should help and a better effort could be in the offing now handicapping. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in three Irish maiden hurdles (2m1f-2m5f) for Willie Mullins in the autumn but safely held on both starts for new stable this spring, latterly when upped to 2m7f for handicap debut at Fakenham (good); upped in trip again; needs to raise her game. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Placed in three Irish maiden hurdles (2m1f-2m5f) for Willie Mullins in the autumn but probably didn't achieve much when remote third of four on stable debut a fortnight ago (2m3f); up in trip for this handicap debut; needs that recent outing to have brought her on. |

3rd 5 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Runner up in a bumper and two maiden hurdles for Willie Mullins (on good and soft) and the Cork maiden in which she was a remote third in December (final run) was dominated by good horses; while she's up to winning races for her new connections, she may have to wait for another day. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Landed bumper around here last October but has cut little ice in his two starts over hurdles; this looks easier but he needs to start producing. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Warwick bumper winner on good ground and was then best of the rest behind a runaway winner when penalised at Ascot; 5-1 for hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f) and reportedly bled from the nose after pulling up; retains potential but this is no easy race in which to bounce back. |
10/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won a bumper at Warwick (2m, good) in October on second start and 11l second of five under penalty at Ascot (1m7f, good) next time, when the winner was gifted a clear lead; brings potential to this first hurdle start; player. |
