0-22 in points and now 0-18 under rules (0-14 over fences) after finishing a tailed-off runner-up in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
0-22 in points and 0-17 under rules; placed a few times off lowly marks in handicap chases in 2023/24 and also in points this year but another minor role is probably his best hope. |

Soundly beaten when 200-1 for run-of-the-mill Worcester maiden (2m, good) on recent hurdle debut; moves up in trip. |

Tailed off in Newton Abbot bumper last September and returns to racing under rules after well-held second in two-finisher point last month; look elsewhere. |

Struggled when a 200-1 outsider for first two hurdle runs, the latter over C&D three weeks ago. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made an encouraging start on bumper debut last March, but has gone backwards since and was tailed off on all three subsequent starts; offered little on last month's hurdling debut here (2m1f) after a break, and this longer trip needs to spark a major turnaround. |

11st 13lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but easily landed gamble in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in March, and did not need to be at same level to justify skinny odds in Uttoxeter novice (2m7f, good) this month; has a big penalty but should still be hard to beat. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives. |

2nd 4 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer. |

Completed for first time in five-race career when second of two finishers in three-runner maiden point last month but still can't be recommended on this hurdling debut. |
