prominent, went second from over 4f out, ridden over 1f out, soon edged left and lost ground, rallied inside final furlong, kept on and led towards finish |

16th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
155,000gns yearling buy, by No Nay Never; dam unraced sister to winners Deauville (US 1m2f Grade 1) and The Corsican (1m3f Group 3); stable has had an excellent season with juveniles and he is well worth a market check on debut. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Produced two similarly promising efforts over 1m (good to firm and heavy) as a juvenile, including here; since gelded; will have a bit to prove trip-wise over this far but could be involved if he sees it out. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
15-race maiden but has competitive form on the Flat and in maiden hurdles; beaten 18l when ninth of 20 in a Down Royal handicap three weeks ago, which wasn't that bad a run; this is far less competitive. |
5/1 |
|
9th 1 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |
11st 13lb |
Some fair Flat form and fourth in a pair of maiden hurdles last year; burst blood vessel at Cheltenham in November; soft ground was against him on last month's handicap debut. |
16/1 |
|
12th 3 |
2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |
11st 6lb |
Twice runner-up on the Flat in Britain; has managed a couple of decent efforts over hurdles; made no impression on the all-weather at Dundalk when last seen; market will guide on handicap hurdle debut. |

3rd 1 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Tapeta winner in March (1m4f), and fair effort against a pace bias back on turf latest; no chances taken with initial hurdles mark (peak RPR 78 to date), but yet to encounter a sound surface in this discipline. |

27th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner for Marco Botti (7f/1m); bumped into very progressive rival when second at Southwell (1m) in March then changed hands for 17,000gns later that month; player if still in same form for new stable. |
7/1 |
|
