24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won a Listed bumper here last season; tends to travel too strongly for his own good (races keenly) and can finish weakly, as was the case when a beaten favourite on recent hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m); however, a first-time hood and the possibility of a solid gallop to chase means he can't be discounted. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
It wasn't a strong Listed race that he won here in November (good; coped with softer in points) but he had loads more in hand than the narrow margin would suggest; turned over since at odds-on at Huntingdon but a blind eye can be turned to that as he was far too gassy off tepid fractions; could be seen in a different light here should they crack on at a solid pace and top trainer has been talking up his chances. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
1-8 over hurdles, up in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December; with two major backward steps since, a lot seemingly depends on his subsequent wind surgery and today's first tongue-tie. |
6/1 |
|
8th 9 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who was suited by the step up in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December on his third handicap start; merely mid-division at Newbury (3m, good to soft) since but not written off in view of the promise shown on his penultimate start. |
8/1 |
|
9th 8 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Opened his hurdles account in similar event at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last time; remains unexposed at this sort of distance and bumper form suggests he has the potential to do better still; shortlisted. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner who hasn't been out of the first two over hurdles and his defeat two runs back was at the hands of a useful horse; odds of 1-4 last time and that win told us little, but he brings momentum into this handicap debut. |
5/2 |

1st 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A fairly useful dual bumper winner who has made a promising start in this sphere, landing C&D novice in February before advancing his form when second of five under a penalty at Bangor (2m) 16 days ago; holds major claims. |
4/7 |
|
2nd 1 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won two bumpers and also ran well in a Listed race at Cheltenham; narrowly denied on his hurdle debut here (soft) but comfortably went one better as an odds-on chance at Doncaster (good to soft); talented and going the right way. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y |
11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner last year was disappointing on hurdling debut at Navan recently coming back after a long absence; however, he should improve from that and be more competitive today. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 165y |
11st 12lb |
Won bumpers at Ballinrobe and Roscommon in the early stages of last season; could manage only fourth of six when favourite for a Listed bumper at Cheltenham last November; ready to run on the Flat at Gowran recently, withdrawn after refusing to load; beat a subsequent Listed bumper winner at Roscommon, merits respect. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner; never competitive against smart rivals in first two chases, but was running with some credit when exiting two out both times; a clear round the obvious priority now. |
20/1 |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 2lb |
Bumper winner; 1-8 over hurdles and rated 112; was a long way behind when unseating two out on chase debut in the Wexford novice won by Workahead; likely up against it again here. |
12/1 |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Bumper winner took a 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle last autumn but was then poor twice after; his yard is in better form now but he has plenty to find on chasing debut with some of these rivals. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed on bumper debut in 2024 for Fergal O'Brien; struggled in four novice/maiden hurdles for Max Young last year but makes stable/handicap debut off a lowly mark and it will be very interesting to see what Ben Pauling can do with him. |
2/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

A well-beaten outsider on all three hurdling starts for new stable this season (twice over C&D); cannot be recommended. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Promising third on bumper debut here last July but has gone backwards since; tailed off/pulled up on his two hurdle outings. |
