13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ran really well in defeat in some strong Cheltenham handicaps (2m4f-3m1f) during the first half of last season and his Kempton effort in February wasn't too shoddy; what needs forgiving is his Ayr run after a wind operation as that was underwhelming; still looks dangerous. |

He hasn't quite been at the top of his game on his last two starts; however, he's had wind surgery since and is certainly of interest on his two third-place finishes at Cheltenham in the autumn (3m1f/2m4f, good/soft); top trainer has won five of the last eight runnings of this race. |

Thrice-raced gelding whose clear best 1m effort came on debut; bred to be suited by this step up in trip and looks open to improvement in handicaps; interesting. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Hereford (extended 2m3f, good) in April but seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m1f next time and fell at the first when favourite over 3m on latest outing; may yet build on that win. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gained a first handicap success at Hereford (2m4f) in April but seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m1f when third of five in novice at Cartmel in May; this daughter of Jukebox Jury remains one to be interested in over this much longer trip. |

15th Jul 2024 Good 2m 2f 165y |
11st 3lb |
No wild price for a Listowel bumper on debut but folded rather tamely; likely to step up another notch but difficult to see her worrying the big guns. |

Fourth foal; half-sister to hurdle winners Tullyveery Lad (2m4f) and Joanna I'm Fine (3m); dam 2m-2m4f hurdle winner out of 3m chase winner; yard 1-13 in these races recent seasons; worth a market check. |
