Acts on good and soft ground; dual novice winner (2m4f/2m1f) in 2022-23 season and remains lightly raced but he returned after 666 days off with a heavy defeat at Stratford in February; tongue-tie is now added and he needs to bounce back near best. |

Useful novice hurdler for Gary Moore in 2022-23 season, winning two of his six starts; given good chance by the handicapper before this stable debut but difficult to evaluate after 900-day absence; market helpful. |

Two solid performances at Sandown (2m4f) since switched to handicap level, winning narrowly in February then close second (clear of remainder) in the EBF Final; looks the type to improve further; commands respect. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Maiden/handicap wins for Anthony Honeyball; long absences a feature in his profile but there were positives at Uttoxeter last month (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) where he ran well for a long way; stays this far; chance if the wheels can stay on. |
15/2 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Anthony Honeyball; pulled up on his stable debut following a year's absence at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) three weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces go on but hard to fancy. |
25/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Maiden winner here who returned from 718 days off to score on handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last January; there was some awkward jumping that day and again when creditable third in this race next time; absent since, has changed hands and left Anthony Honeyball; it may not be enough even if he returns in peak form. |

Hasn't lived up to market expectations since switched to handicap hurdles; not bred for fences but he must be thought capable of better and this isn't strong; cheekpieces tried after one run in blinkers. |

Yet to play a serious part in four handicaps, despite being a short price for the latest two; interesting to see if his supporters keep the faith now blinkers are added; 8lb wrong. |

Has not finished closer than 13l to a winner in his eight starts and was pulled up over fences here (3m2f, good) two weeks ago; was always behind in that race and he has a lot to prove; 2lb out of the weights. |

17th May 2023 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Unplaced all seven starts, the latest on last month's chasing/handicap debut at Exeter; young enough to improve but now takes a major step up in trip, which is not certain to work on pedigree. |
