23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten all four hurdle/chase runs since returning from long absence for new stable last September but has slipped to a basement mark and might appreciate getting away from soft/heavy ground; dangerous to ignore. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Has won over fences but two disappointing runs after an absence included a heavy defeat behind Esperti and his struggles continued back over hurdles here last month; has dropped to a good mark but with questions to answer now. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten on stable debut in September but that came after a long absence and he's well handicapped on old form for Tim Easterby; gained both wins on good to soft ground but can handle soft; market may guide. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Irish point winner (soft ground); placed on good to soft in both a 2m novice hurdle and a 3m novices' handicap chase at Market Rasen; well beaten and pulled up in two further starts; still early days and not written off from a workable mark. |

21st May 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Eight-race rules maiden who needs to jump much better than when down the field at Ayr in February last time out; however, prior to that he was a fairly encouraging second on his chase and stable debut at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and he's not ruled out. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Jumped well when scoring on his stable debut at Warwick (2m4f, soft) in late 2024 but he hasn't recaptured that form in three runs following a year's absence, pulling up on his last two starts. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Jumped well when scoring on his stable debut at Warwick (2m4f, soft) in late 2024 but he hasn't recaptured that form in two runs following a year's absence, latterly when found to have an irregular heartbeat back at Warwick in January; cheekpieces back on but risky at present. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-11 under rules; kept on well for second over fences at Fakenham (3m, good) in April and didn't run badly on soft ground last month, but makes only limited appeal on this return to hurdling; 1lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fell on his first two attempts over fences, but had the race at his mercy at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft; from 3lb higher) on the second occasion; has failed to sparkle since - usually labouring in rear - although there was a glimmer of spark at Fakenham over Easter. |

1st Apr 2024 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Unlucky not to open his account at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) just under a year ago and ran well when fourth at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day, after a layoff, but was struggling from fairly early stage at Chepstow in January and can't be supported with any confidence after that. |

In second place when falling four out at Warwick (3m5f) last month; opened his chase account with a 5l win over C&D (soft) the time before and that form has been boosted since; respected. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly promising fourth on hurdle debut in March 2023 and this lightly raced 8yo is one to watch in the betting following an absence; however, he made no impact when sixth late last year in his first two handicaps. |

11st 8lb |
In the frame in two Irish points in 2021; mainly modest form over hurdles, including on handicap debut here in November (2m4f, good to soft); stable in fine form and he's likely to fare better now upped in trip and switched to fences. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |
10st 0lb |
Bounced back to form when adding a fourth chase win at Punchestown in June (3m1f, good to yielding); another good run at Cartmel last time when beaten a neck; reverts to hurdles now off a much lower mark, but hasn't been able to take advantage of it in the past; 2lb wrong. |

2nd 7 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
None too consistent but he was back over fences at Punchestown 20 days ago (3m1f, good to yielding) and ran on well to prevail in a big field; that was his fourth success as a chaser and big shout if he can hold his form. |
4/1 |
|
1st 9 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
10st 13lb |
Three-time chase winner, twice over this distance at Ayr on soft; pulled up on last chase run at Down Royal and below-par hurdles at Sligo 25 days ago; put two decent runs back-to-back prior to Down Royal effort and chance if bouncing back; enjoys soft ground. |
12/1 |
