15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-17 under rules and yet to convince in four runs over fences; on the plus side his handicap mark continues to drop but he doesn't look ready to win. |
7/2 |

3rd 10 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
0-8 over hurdles and 0-3 as a chaser; well behind At The Oche at Uttoxeter last time when the new cheekpieces made little difference. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Became disappointing for Harry Fry; competitive form over hurdles and fences for current yard but he bled three runs back and couldn't hang in there at Exeter (2m3f, good) last time; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-8 over fences and is untried at this trip. |
8/1 |

11st 12lb |
Became disappointing for Harry Fry; competitive form over hurdles and fences for current yard but bled two runs back and then ran no race at Bangor. |

1st 1 |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won by 5l on switch to fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) and ran okay when beaten 7l over C&D under a penalty two weeks ago; 1lb higher now with Toby McCain-Mitchell again up top and this is a weak race. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 3 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Only hinted at ability in seven hurdle runs and had been well held in handicaps, but took a marked step forward when an easy winner on chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month after a three-month break; 2lb well in under a 7lb penalty and Toby McCain-Mitchell's 3lb claim is another plus; open to further progress. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (good) in April, his ninth start over hurdles; still unexposed over this sort of trip but was a shade disappointing when well-held third at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month and probably won't be favoured by any rain. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
His first run beyond 2m when ridden out to prevail over 2m3f at Warwick last month (good; 6lb lower) and he might well improve again for going further this afternoon; has a lot less to prove than his rivals. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
1-11 over hurdles in Ireland; 0-8 over fences but made a promising start for this stable when a staying-on third at Bangor (3m, good) two weeks ago; this step back up in trip could help and he's one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won over hurdles in Ireland in 2024 but was 0-7 over fences there; sold for 11,000euros and a well-held fourth in first-time blinkers (now removed, as is tongue-tie) in May; market helpful before this stable debut. |
