21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |
12st 3lb |
Ended his time with Fergal O'Brien with back-to-back hurdle wins at Taunton and Chepstow in March/April 2024; after a long absence, had two Flat runs (including a satisfactory display at this venue) before being sent back over hurdles at Sligo nine days ago; made all and has a good chance despite 5lb rise. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Last hurdles win came in April 2024 when trained by Fergal O'Brien; came back from a long absence for a new yard in the spring and not a bad Flat run last time, so looks a player with cheekpieces added. |

5th 9 (10) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Useful 120-rated hurdler with five wins to his name, the last two gained back-to-back for Fergal O'Brien in April/March 2024; after a long absence, was entitled to need the run at Navan in April on his stable debut. |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Twice a runner-up late last year and came back to some form after some lesser efforts when just over a 3l second to Jongleur d'Etoiles at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) last month; remains competitively treated if backing that up. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Southwell (2m4f/3m, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, he's gone off the boil on his last three runs and has to raise his game. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Six-time hurdle winner who hit a personal best when scoring at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January but his form has slumped in two subsequent runs; has bit to prove again and this is competitive on this drop back in trip. |
14/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Showed career-best form when comfortably winning from Bourbali at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January and a subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground there is not viewed harshly; has been ridden by a good 7lb claimer lately, though, and might find others better handicapped. |
9/2 |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Has done very well over 2m3f here in recent months, winning twice and second in between; those results were achieved on good/good to soft and today's much deeper ground is a slight concern given he's been below par on both hurdle outings on heavy. |

Runner-up five times last season but not at best when well-held fourth at Taunton (2m, soft) in March; pulled up after a bad early mistake at Kempton last month. |

11th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Yet to score for his current yard and he comes here on the back of a below-par fifth of eight in 2m handicap at Newton Abbot 20 days ago; cheekpieces go back on with more required. |
