2nd 1 (2) |
7th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Broke more alertly to make all on stable debut at Ripon (1m4f, soft) in April when returning from an absence and wind surgery; never seriously involved, though, when 33-1 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good; unraced on firmer) 17 days ago; appeared to stay 1m6f when fourth at Goodwood in 2021 but this is his first go at 2m and he steps out of handicaps. |

9st 10lb |
Broke more alertly to make all on stable debut at Ripon (1m4f, soft) in April, when returning from an absence and wind surgery; enjoyed the run of the race and this is much hotter, but it remains to be seen how far he can go for this yard; has won on good ground, unraced on faster. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Plenty of good runs to his name since his last win in September 2023 and he raced freely after a break when behind Miss Maverick and Sir Galahad here 22 days ago; better can be expected this time. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Has made the frame several times since his last win in September 2023; returns from a winter break on a career-low mark and not out of this if he is ready to roll. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Scores good marks for his consistency for Fergal O'Brien since last autumn but is yet to win for this stable and appears to have very little margin for error off current mark. |

8th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a low-grade AW handicap in April and minor honours over C&D for new yard in his two starts switched to hurdling recently; needs to find extra and the tongue-tie he wore on last six Flat starts is restored; he also wore cheekpieces in those Flat runs but that remains absent. |

19th Sep 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won a low-grade AW handicap in April and was very respectable third over C&D (good) on stable/hurdle debut three weeks ago but will need to build upon that performance today and the forecast rain is a worry. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f course winner in early part of last season; returned from five-month break with low-key run here 18 days ago but is versatile regarding ground and his current mark is workable; can feature if that recent outing brought him on. |
7/1 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All of his three victories have been at Fontwell including two chase wins over an extended 2m5f (good to soft); beaten 9l when runner-up here in December but that was behind an improver and he's still lightly raced in this sphere; respected back in trip on his return. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Course hurdle winner last summer (2m1f, good), having made most of the running; held up in rear and never looked dangerous when fourth of six on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (2m3f, good) but that was his first run since the autumn and a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light here. |

Modest on the Flat and over hurdles and he's 0-19 across both codes; needs to improve for the switch to fences if he's to win this. |

Point winner in May; bought for £2,000 the following month and he's been tailed off in two hurdle runs this summer; hood worn in last three starts is now removed. |

Fair on the Flat in his prime (seven wins) but badly lost his way in that sphere, and was tailed off here when 150-1 for recent hurdling debut. |

Multiple winner for Richard Fahey but lost his way after winning on debut for his previous yard and recently changed hands again for £3,000; not overly appealing in new headgear. |
