7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Comfortably justified short odds in small-field Stratford novice (2m, good to firm) in July and is now 4-7 over hurdles; faces tougher opposition on this handicap return but we don't yet know the limit of his ability. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Appeared unlucky to go down by under a length at Ascot in March (traffic issues), but didn't enjoy himself in the Summer Hurdle on sole start since; still early days in handicaps, and no ground issues. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Lightly raced winning hurdler in France; had a wind operation prior to posting career-best form when a fast-closing second at Ascot in March; up 4lb but has his age allowance now tackling his elders and also the assistance of Harry Cobden. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Won Listed handicap at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding to soft) for Willie Mullins last November, but ended last season with some below-par efforts and was well beaten on both starts for new stable this summer (2m1f/2m7f). |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Had four starts for Tom Lacey, winning a pair of 2m hurdle races and perhaps better again when a front-running third in a handicap at Cartmel (second run in cheekpieces); obvious claims with his main rival also doubly penalised. |
5/4 |

3rd 4 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who is 2-3 in maiden/novice hurdles for new stable this season, the latter win gained by 18l at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time hood) 11 days ago; faces tougher opposition on this British handicap debut but still commands respect. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |
7/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
8yo who has form figures of 221 for his new stable this year and that win was a dominant display at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) three weeks ago after a break; up 7lb but that was a personal best and he may have more to offer. |
