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. |

Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps in 2024 at Roscommon and Galway (off 70); came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown last summer and ran well in novice events both starts afterwards; returns from a further 9 months' absence but goes well fresh. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps on the Flat last year; came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown and a fine effort in a Listed novice at Galway since, both approx' 2m; should appreciate this longer trip and be involved. |
4/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Decent Flat handicapper, scoring over 1m4f at Roscommon and here last season; returned from 298-day absence to land 2m1f Bellewstown maiden hurdle early this month in good style; should handle this step up in grade. |

The last of his four wins came in a C&D premier handicap in June 2024; some cracking runs in defeat since, including a close sixth in this race last year and runner-up over C&D in June; not as good behind Kalir last time. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |

Last win came in a valuable C&D handicap in June 2024 off 88; best run for almost a year came in the same event here last time in first-time blinkers (retained), with 3l back to Playin Cool; 5lb rise for that is perhaps a tad harsh but winner ran well twice at Galway; firmly in the mix. |

19th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; attracted some support on his stable debut at Kempton four weeks ago (1m4f) where he finished a creditable fourth of the ten runners; needs more to defy the same mark but his best run for Johnny Murtagh came over 1m2f on good ground and new cheekpieces could help. |
