9st 6lb |
Three wins on AW, but 0-21 on turf; did well at Dundalk over the winter and carried that form through to soft-ground contests in the spring; second over 7f at Naas and fourth over 1m2f here in April (strong form); not so good since; likes to come from off the pace, and there wasn't enough on when he was fourth (only 7-2) at Killarney on Monday. |

Three wins from eight AW starts, but 0-20 on turf; did well at Dundalk over the winter and carried that form through to soft-ground contests in the spring; second over 7f at Naas and fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown in April (strong form); not so good lately; likes to come from off the pace. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed promise for Andrew Balding last year but he's struggled in last two runs, including when last of nine on recent stable debut at Kempton (6f, AW); mark is falling but he's now 0-8 and has questions to answer. |
25/1 |

9th 9 (5) |
16th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Some promise for Andrew Balding last season but his two runs this year have been underwhelming; sold for 26,000gns in May; best watched on stable debut. |

5th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Debut was on turf (well held); 7f novice winner on Tapeta and better was presumably expected when odds-on third for handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f); retains plenty of potential and kicks off his 3yo campaign now gelded. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Came good at seventh attempt, with cleacut success at Wetherby (7f, good) last month, and didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on third behind all-the-way winner at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; remains very much of interest. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (5) |
3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Justified favouritism at Wetherby (good) three weeks ago, proving suited by the drop back to 7f and opening his account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but remains unexposed at this trip; shortlisted. |

8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer; has shown promise in three runs over shorter, beaten under 4l when the cheekpieces went on at Kempton last month (7f); bred to stay and could have more to come. |
5/1 |

5th 10 (9) |

29th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
230,000euros yearling; 9-1, he was beaten just over 3l at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) despite getting no cover and running green; could easily improve on that. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

2nd 3 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |
11/2 |

4th 1 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Had an excellent run in 1m turf handicaps this year, winning the first three, including over C&D, and losing nothing in defeat against a fellow improver at Newbury (heavy) 22 days ago; edged up 1lb but has much better claims than most. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Similar type to Atlantic Gamble, being a productive gelding who has a high strike-rate (5-8) in handicaps; close fifth off this mark last time (1m, AW) and remains in form; versatile ground-wise on turf. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 11lb |
Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft). |
25/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Well held in his two previous handicaps as a jumper but has since won a Cork novice and a staying handicap on the AW; others are a bit more intriguing, however; cheekpieces removed. |
20/1 |

7th 1 (9) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer. |

Took his C&D record to 2-2 with a success in January and posted a solid effort at Southwell in most recent Flat outing; took advantage of a handy hurdles mark since; respected. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
In good form over hurdles without winning this term before scoring on the Flat at Kempton in January; he must enter calculations back in this sphere. |
11/1 |

2nd 4 (12) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
4-13 on the Flat; narrow winner over 2m at Kempton and it wasn't his first below-par effort at Lingfield 20 days ago; handles this surface and better can be expected. |

14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Ninth of 16 in a 7f AW novice in August but behind on his other seven starts, the last three in handicaps (7f, 6f and 5f); visor now joins his tongue-tie. |
