12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Jumped well when winning his second chase start at Warwick in September (3m, good to soft) and was reportedly struck into next time at Chepstow, which was a hot novice handicap; retains plenty of potential. |

11th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Sound jumping was a feature in his recent 3m win at Warwick (second chase start; good to soft); up 8lb in a race that will take appreciably more winning but with fitness on his side he's hard to dismiss. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Likes Market Rasen and he kept digging (after getting outpaced) to be close up on his chase debut there last month (3m, good); ran well here over hurdles and, off an untouched mark from last time, he should be in the thick of it. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
A dual winner (at about 3m) last April but he's not been seen since coming in a well-held third of five in 3m2f handicap chase at Newton Abbot ten months ago; he needs to hit the ground running. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed twice off higher marks over C&D (good) for Fergal O'Brien last summer but was pulled up after weakening quickly on stable debut in May and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Bumper/chase winner but 0-10 over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien; sold for 8,000gns since last run; drops in class off a workable mark based on best form. |

10st 11lb |
Low-mileage 11yo with 2-8 strike-rate in points, the latter win gained in 2020; pulled up in her last two points and makes very limited appeal on belated rules debut. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three sound runs since cheekpieces went on in February, winning at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) and Taunton (2m3f, heavy) and finishing second at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); interesting despite stepping up both in grade and in trip. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Cheekpieces went on when he won his handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) and followed up off the same mark over C&D (heavy; by 8l from Talap) 11 days later, both under Fern O'Brien; 9lb higher this time but surely has a big shout in what looks a weak race. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Rallied after being headed to lead again towards the finish and make a successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (extended 2m4f, good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 11 days ago; escapes a penalty and is 7lb well-in compared to his future mark. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in soft-ground Irish point debut in December but was soundly beaten in two 2m3f maiden hurdles in March (good to soft/soft); needs the added cheekpieces to make a big difference here. |
25/1 |

23rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Odds-on when runner-up in an Irish point, then bought for £20,000; weak in the market ahead of hurdling debut at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) and finished tailed off. |
33/1 |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Out of a half-sister to smart jumper Tarxien; clear second to a subsequent dual hurdle winner on Irish point debut in December (soft ground) and joined up-and-coming stable for £20,000 the following month; fitted with tongue-tie for rules debut; interesting to see how he fares. |

6yo by Royal Anthem; half-brother to a point winner; dam unraced half-sister to three smart hurdle/chase winners; wears a hood on debut; quite interesting. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Showed only minor promise in two bumpers for David Pipe last year but returns to racing under rules after winning maiden point by 15l in April; subsequently changed hands for £4,000; market may guide on stable debut. |
8/1 |

21st Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Just over a length behind Ted's Gift when fourth on last month's C&D debut; sported a hood and tongue-strap then but just the latter now. |
