Won both a bumper (heavy) and maiden hurdle at Hexham last season; returned in November and well held both starts in novice company; not a bad effort when fourth on handicap debut at Leopardstown. |

10st 2lb |
Close second at Newcastle (2m7f Class 5) last weekend but looks far from certain to go one better; out of the weights in this better race and 0-17 since debut win. |

Bumper winner; yet to win over jumps but fair fourth at Ayr last time (3m, soft) on first run after wind surgery; should go well again. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in spring 2023 and made quite encouraging return from 575-day absence in C&D race won by Man Of Action in June, albeit looking held before falling heavily at the final flight; not ruled out. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Registered sole win at Cartmel (2m6f) two years ago; returns from 19-month absence; the betting may prove best guide to expectations. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just 1-8 over hurdles but was placed on seasonal debut at Haydock (3m, good to soft) and his subsequent Uttoxeter fifth (2m4f, soft) was perfectly respectable; probably won't be far away |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A very lightly raced 10yo who has been competitive in all his handicap hurdles from 2m3f to 3m and Haydock last time was a higher-grade race; dropping back to 2m4f is probably a good thing. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
24th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Very lightly raced 9yo who won a bumper here on debut in 2021 and returned from a long absence to score on his handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, heavy) 65 days ago; up 5lb but could have plenty more to offer. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
A couple of fair efforts on AW in early 2023 but form went the wrong way subsequently; tailed off at Pontefract in June after an absence. |
40/1 |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Nearly three years since Irish win; far from solid on his form for current yard and lacks recent match practice (absent for eight months). |
50/1 |

9th 7 (6) |
9th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has generally struggled since a couple of absences and this summer's work was poor under both codes; would be a surprise winner. |
