25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Irish point winner in October 2023 (3m, good to yielding); made most to win a Ludlow novice on hurdles debut in February 2024 (2m, soft); was then off for 595 days and was a fair fifth to a subsequent winner on his comeback at Perth last month (2m, good); unexposed likely improver who should go well. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Very unexposed 6yo who won on hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m, soft) in February 2024 but has not raced again since; watch the market for clues. |

7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Came good in Irish points at third attempt, winning on good to yielding ground in October, and was bought for £40,000 the following month; second favourite, beaten 24l when third of four in bumper at Haydock at end of December but heavy ground may provide an excuse. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
None too consistent this season but he did win in small fields at Ffos Las (3m, heavy; made all) and Wetherby (3m, good to soft) last month; this field is much more demanding company on his first venture beyond 3m. |

Inconsistent but easily got off the mark over fences at the third attempt in three-runner handicap at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) recently; this is a stronger race but he could have more to offer in this sphere; not ruled out. |

Won two chases and two hurdles on good/good to soft in 2025, including over this C&D last February; wasn't at his best in the autumn but wouldn't rule out completely. |

Did very well for new stable in first half of this year, winning two hurdles and two chases; unseated rider in a chase this month, after a break, but could plausibly still have more improvement to come; respected. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who was returning from a long absence when second on his handicap debut at Hereford a few months ago; has since been taken out on account of soft ground, so the better spell of weather won't have hurt; considered off the same mark. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 |
12th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Unexposed 5yo who displayed clear promise in three 2m novice hurdles last season (good to soft/soft), notably here in December behind a smart one; that was on soft ground and yet he's bypassed two recent handicaps on account of the ground being too slow; his form claims are up there at this level. |

11th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Hasn't shown much in three runs; strictly on that evidence he looks harshly treated but has better to come now entering handicaps. |

7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
16-1 for a Chepstow maiden hurdle in October, where he finished remote but was found to be lame; 12-1 at Taunton (2m, soft) one month ago on second start, making some late headway from well off the pace into 11l fourth of 13; essentially looks a longer-term prospect, with lots to learn, but this looks such a weak race that he could have claims. |

Two of dam's siblings were useful jumpers; 16-1 for racecourse debut in a Chepstow maiden hurdle in October, where he finished remote but was found to be lame; early days yet. |

Close up in two Irish points last autumn but little to show for his runs since in two points and four hurdle races; tailed off with cheekpieces on handicap debut (2m4f) last time; has since had wind surgery. |

Unplaced all six hurdling starts, most recently when pulled up at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) last month; upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for chasing debut; may benefit from the return to good ground. |

Minor promise in two Irish bumpers; 150-1 for British debut in a Listed mares' novice hurdle at Taunton (2m, good to soft) and not surprisingly finished a remote last; down in class but no solid claims. |
