18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made a quite promising debut in a Market Rasen bumper in June 2025 but failed to build on that next time and hasn't been seen since pulling up lame on hurdle debut in August last year; probably best watched back from an absence. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Out of a half-sister to high-class Irish jumper Sharjah; made quite promising debut when third of five in good-ground Market Rasen bumper in June but suffered a heavy defeat last month (stopped quickly) and is probably best watched on this hurdling debut; hooded for first time. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Progressive in three outings in Ireland, winning under a penalty at Ballinrobe (soft) and subsequently changing hands for £100,000; however, he ran no sort of race in a Listed event at Newbury (heavy; 12-1) on his debut for current yard and this contest is even more competitive. |
33/1 |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Won on good ground at Wexford before defying a penalty on soft at Ballinrobe where he quickened up smartly for a 5.5l verdict; previous and subsequent exploits of the runner-up gives that form substance; since recruited for £100,000; hard to dismiss. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in 2024 on first three 2yo starts (7f/1m, good to firm/good to soft) before easily making all in 7f AW novice; off since, with gelding/wind ops in the meantime; it's a hefty absence to defy but he has potential off his opening mark if retaining his ability; the betting will be interesting. |
8/1 |

1st 6 (6) |
8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in all three starts, showing strong form when second in the Convivial maiden at York's Ebor meeting (7f, good to firm) on second occasion; beaten at odds-on back at York last month (1m, good to soft) but the winner has franked the form and underfoot conditions may not have been ideal; strong claims back at 7f; AW debut. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Four-time winner (all 1m4f on a sound surface) with three of those in blinkers, latterly at Catterick (good; made all) on his penultimate start; overdid it in the lead before beating one home at Goodwood 12 days ago but could bounce back; cheekpieces (second on all three attempts) are reapplied. |
8/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progress 4yo; won at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April and added to that success at Catterick (1m4f, good) 29 days ago, making all under Poppy Scott; can't be dismissed off this 2lb higher mark. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
A modest maiden at best on the Flat; sent off 125-1 and beat only two on his hurdling debut in 2m Uttoxeter novice in July; lots more required here. |
100/1 |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Mostly well held in all his Flat races, especially in the two for current yard (1m6f, cheekpieces; 1m4f, visored); limited appeal on hurdling debut. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-13 on the Flat for two different stables but showed some fair form at up to 1m4f; has realistic each-way claims if he takes well to hurdling for latest new trainer. |
20/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden; respectable fifth over 1m3f at Kempton 17 days ago but Sonnerie Power and Voix De Bocelli were ahead of him; first-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are now replaced by blinkers. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Edging down weights for new yard; first three of those four runs were here and the second piece of form (2m, good; unraced on softer) gives him a chance. |
11/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Edging down the weights and the return to a more galloping track could help, but his claims aren't compelling based on what he's shown at Chester this year on his three starts for a new yard. |
