2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who had disappointed over hurdles until a step back up in trip brought about the necessary improvement to get off the mark in this sphere at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month; should be suited by this further step up to 3m and is a leading player. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Good-ground bumper winner; disappointing over hurdles, though his handicaps have been at 2m and when he tried this trip once before he was 66-1 in a maiden; could easily be a factor. |
7/2 |

7th 5 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Good-ground bumper winner two years ago who's generally struggled over hurdles and has been off for a little over a year since an underwhelming handicap debut; dropped 7lb in the interim but would want to see some market interest. |

11st 5lb |
Well beaten in two 2m3f handicaps towards end of last year and has now been unplaced in all six hurdle starts; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up on debut in bumper in April 2024; no impact on his four starts since, three of them over hurdles, but this handicap debut provides a more realistic opportunity and he's one to watch in the betting. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came good over hurdles at fifth attempt, with clearcut success at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) in January; well beaten (albeit in better race than this) last month, though, and may not be ideally suited by this quicker ground. |
10/1 |

5th 8 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Looked good in winning at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) but found nothing for pressure when beaten 7l off this 8lb higher mark at Plumpton; that was disappointing. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had his Lingfield handicap (2m3f, soft) in the bag from a fair way out last time and, still lightly raced, could prove himself worth an 8lb rise; solid contender. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Just the one blip in five runs since joining Henry Oliver and ran his usual honest race when going down narrowly at Hereford in January (2m, soft; effective on drier); the winner of that race has failed to frank the form but this 7yo could still be in the thick of it here. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice for the Newland/Insole stable in the autumn of 2024; creditable efforts in three of his four runs for current yard including when a close second in Market Rasen handicap (2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; up 3lb but he went down fighting last time and that was behind a major improver; respected. |

11st 4lb |
Eyecatching fifth at Warwick in his sole bumper but was pulled up at 125-1 on hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) last month; cheekpieces worn last time are now removed. |

10th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Possibilities in his pedigree and his running-on fifth of 11 in bumper at Warwick (2m, good) in April showed clear promise; he wandered that day and cheekpieces are now fitted; should improve but he's probably one for later. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In excellent form for new stable in the spring, winning three in a row under Fern O'Brien (2m4f-3m) on good ground; has fitness to prove after 116-day break and latest 10lb rise asks quite a lot of him but further progress is possible. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon (20.5f, good) in April and followed up in a four-runner contest at Ludlow (3m, good) last month with Galway Reel 13l back in second; up 7lb and holds strong claims once again. |
8/13 |

11th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Mid-race unseat over fences on stable debut in March and got up late to win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) three weeks ago when back hurdling; there's every chance the step back up in trip will suit and he could have more to offer for this yard. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Dual winner in this sphere but has been operating below his best for a while and is best left alone at present. |

9th 8 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn (three attempts) and he's looked out of sorts over hurdles lately; will appreciate this ease in grade but still needs huge boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Potentially well handicapped but he tried chasing earlier this season and hasn't offered a lot back over hurdles; it looks significant that regular rider Sam Twiston-Davies has turned elsewhere. |

20th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Won his first two bumpers for this yard under Cameron Johnstone-Baker (good to soft/good) before disappointing in a Grade 2 at the Grand National meeting; could easily be up to this on his hurdling debut. |

14th 12 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |

1st 1 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Left behind an underwhelming debut when making all to win a Southwell (good to soft) bumper for new stable and ridden by Cameron Johnstone-Baker in December 2024, posting a useful RPR; key player if ready to roll after a 477-day absence. |
