15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
0-8 over hurdles and has a tendency to race too freely but ran by far his best race for Iain Jardine when very close second at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March, and remains well handicapped on older Irish form. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Ex-Irish; beaten 30l and more over hurdles in first four British starts but back to life for a short-head defeat 13 days ago (second run after wind surgery); now returns to Flat, in which sphere he's 1-9 having won a maiden in 2023 and been second in a 1m5f handicap last July; needs a second look. |

Touched off in maidens at Cork and Ballinrobe; not quite at his best at Leopardstown last month; back to 1m should suit and sets a decent enough standard. |

Promising debut at Cork in April (1m, good to yielding) but failed to build on it in four further runs for Willie McCreery; betting to guide on stable/AW/handicap debut. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Ran just four times last year, winning on three occasions (1m, good/soft), and back on the scoresheet at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago on his second start of the season; did it cosily last time and a 4lb rise may not stop this thriving 6yo. |
11/1 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Completed a hat-trick last summer with the first two legs coming over C&D (good ground); promising third at Ripon on his seasonal return two weeks ago, keeping on well from 2f out having earlier clipped a rival's heels as the race was hotting up; still has more to offer and the drying ground is the only imponderable (unraced on faster than good). |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Made it 3-3 for the year (1m, good/soft) when winning at Ascot last September; well beaten at Doncaster in October but on heavy ground; this is his first run since and he could still have more left in the tank. |

A long time since he showed his best form; the most recent of his two wins was in 2023; towards the rear in three outings this season; 6lb out of the handicap, can be ruled out. |

23rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Promise in his first two starts but well below form in two runs since including handicap debut last week; first-time blinkers may help him get back on track and there's speed in his pedigree. |

Holy Roman Emperor gelding; cost £25,000 as a yearling; dam French 1m winner, closely related to 7f-8.6f AW winner The Firm; worth a look in the betting but this looks tough for a newcomer. |

3rd 8 (1) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Scored over C&D in December (off 3lb lower) and at Chelmsford in February; has run respectably since, including when beaten favourite at Bath last time; remains on a competitive mark and won't be far away. |

3rd 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously. |
