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. |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
An improving 5yo and it was never in doubt when making all for a wide-margin win at Worcester last month (2m7f, good; under Jamie Neild); whacked up 10lb for beating an exposed veteran but he has the wind in his sails. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good over hurdles at seventh attempt, drawing clear by over 6l at Ludlow (3m, good) in April; 5lb higher here but still only a 5yo and open to further improvement this season. |

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. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed in maidens (2m1f-2m5f) for Willie Mullins but tailed off in two staying handicap hurdles for current yard; dropping back in trip may help but she's unconvincing. |
12/1 |

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. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner; launched hurdling career with two disappointing runs last season but his third at Warwick (2m3f, good) in May was much better and he ought to have further improvement to come in handicaps; good chance. |
7/2 |

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. |
8/1 |

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. |
