12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won a three-runner Sandown novice (2m, soft) last season; well beaten in two 2m4f handicap chases in the autumn (blinkered last time) and now reverts to hurdling in cheekpieces; tricky to weigh up. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Promising in bumpers and again when winning a 2m novice hurdle at Sandown (soft), after which he pulled up at Punchestown; goes chasing with an unexposed profile and he's had a wind operation. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Useful novice two seasons ago, last win over 2m here in March 2025; below his best on both starts last season; cheekpieces now tried; needs to bounce back. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won a Wetherby novice (2m, good to soft) and a Hexham handicap off 6lb lower (2m, good to soft) last season; pulled up at Bangor in November on only start this term; unproven at this trip but an interesting contender. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won the second of two starts in Britain, a maiden at Fontwell (about 2m2f, good to soft); has been off for over a year since and makes handicap debut in a tough race but a market move would be interesting. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Showed promise in his second hurdle start, at Sandown last February, but he's been pulled up in both handicap chases (2m4f and 3m) this winter; shaky claims for now. |
10/1 |

5th 2 |
3rd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Thrice-raced 6yo; showed improvement (fourth over 2m) at Sandown most recently and is bred to do better still, being the first foal of a multiple winner for his connections; interesting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
His dam was useful and it's very early days, but he was soundly beaten in his sole bumper (good to soft) and it was the same story on last month's hurdle debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy); lots of improvement needed. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has shown a modest level of ability in his bumper and for current stable on two hurdle runs, all on soft; needs to find improvement for the longer trip but the better ground could help. |
33/1 |
|
5th 3 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Down the field in Newbury bumper on sole run for Alan King and tailed off at 100-1 on last month's hurdle and stable debut at Exeter. |

13th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Beaten just under 20l in a Newbury bumper 12 months ago (soft) having raced keenly; has since left Alan King. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Unexposed 6yo; modest hurdler; well beaten at Market Rasen on Boxing Day on chase debut (3m, good to soft) but reportedly bled from the nose so that run best overlooked; hard to weigh up. |
7/2 |
|
6th 5 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
38,000euros foal, 72,000euros 3yo; fifth foal; closely related to bumper/2m6f hurdle winner Del La Mar Rocket (RPR 129); dam twice-raced sister to 2m3f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Tribal Dance; makes debut in a race lacking depth and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
