8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Had wind surgery since last run (stable debut) and now reverts to hurdles; defied a 4lb higher mark over C&D two years ago, albeit in a weak contest. |

Two hurdle wins at Perth (2m4f and 3m) in spring 2023; was running well over fences and hurdles there in the summer but pulled up on final start for Stuart Crawford; sold 3,000gns since; bit to prove for now. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Has modest 2-30 strike-rate under rules but kept on well for second at Aintree (2m4f, good) in May and has now filled that position twice since his wind operation in March; could plausibly still have untapped potential over 3m; no surprise if he features. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has a modest strike rate of 2-30 but ran his best race over fences when beaten a neck at Aintree (2m4f, good) five weeks ago (with Genois pulled up); holds claims if able to build on that run off 1lb higher. |
9/2 |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |

Back from wind surgery he bumped into one well handicapped at Bangor (2m4f, good) and it was a strong race in which he struggled at Haydock; he's no forlorn hope on that penultimate effort. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 7lb |
Point-to-point winner; 0-14 over hurdles but loads of placed efforts to her name, including off 92 in a C&D handicap on penultimate; should go well but rated 95 and likely vulnerable to less exposed rivals; new headgear combination tried. |
4/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-15 pointing in Ireland but 0-16 under rules; placed nine times, including on latest start when 14l second in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle (2m6f, good to yielding); ran another creditable race when fourth over 3m2f here on previous start (good to soft). |
9/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Exposed mare; has won one of her 15 points but yet to win in 12 starts over hurdles, although has been placed on six occasions; only gave way late on over 26.5f at Perth nine days ago; should give her running again off lower Irish mark. |

Won two 3m points last year but this year's pointing form is not as inspiring as his recent form-figures might suggest, and others in this line-up look stronger. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Unable to threaten on his four starts in Ireland and he's held by stablemate Bleu D'Enfer judged on their clash at Navan last month; however, he's shown ability and this race is easier than the ones he's been contesting; could give a good account. |

Following wind surgery he took a step back in the right direction when 11l second over 2m at Ayr this month; needs to build on that latest performance but it's possible the step back up in trip will be a plus. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both wins over fences came over C&D in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's generally struggled in the last 12 months and was last of seven over C&D (good) when last seen in May; plenty to prove and all of his wins have been on soft or heavy ground. |

Not in flying form earlier this year but all three career wins have been at Cartmel, the last two over fences; the concern is the conditions as he does enjoy significant cut underfoot. |

27th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dead-heated in an Irish point in April last year; has shown very little in three novice hurdles, the latest after wins surgery; would barely warrant a glance on chasing/handicap debut but represents top team at the track so impossible to dismiss out of hand. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Pulled up/tailed off on his two hurdle starts; however, he won a point and was second in a bumper last year, and having had wind surgery since his last run it's possible he will return to form; not ruled out each-way. |

11st 8lb |
Not seen over fences since two disappointing attempts in spring 2024 but in good form over hurdles, notably when winning at Hexham (2m7f, good) in May; reverts to chasing on a lower mark; player if able to find some fluency. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Raced too freely and was slightly disappointing when fourth here a fortnight ago but battled well for narrow C&D (good) win last month and is still on a workable mark; player if he settles better this time. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Rediscovered a spark, scrambling home over C&D (good; 12-1) 18 days ago; a 4lb rise takes him back to a triple-figure mark (traditionally struggles from that position) but he isn't one to write off, with this track tending to bring out the best in him. |
