24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m but over this far he ran well for a 125-1 chance to be beaten about 10l in a big-field handicap at the Grand National meeting (under Daire McConville; finished ahead of Sir Galahad); this is not quite so demanding. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |

Campaigned mostly at about 2m and isn't crying out for this return to further; furthermore, he suffered a heavy defeat at the Cheltenham Festival most recently and this is another difficult task. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

Front-runner; convincing Newbury win (2m) under Daire McConville in November before 11l third off this 10lb higher mark behind two well-handicapped rivals at Doncaster (2m, good to soft again) in December; off since; needs better. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
A prolific winner in points, he got off the mark under rules at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher but looks the type that can go in again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

Remains winless under rules but he was a multiple points winner after leaving Paul Nolan in Ireland and has started well for his new yard, a strong-travelling second of 11 in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Exeter 23 days ago; can go one better here. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Off the mark at the 22nd attempt in a Plumpton chase (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie and visor) last December; avoided a penalty and successfully followed up at Fontwell (2m3f, heavy); matched that effort at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) latest; acts on good; each-way player. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Excelled since swapping usual cheekpieces for a visor, winning at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) and Fontwell (2m3f, heavy; 8lb lower); departed early here on Boxing Day when 100-30 to bring up his hat-trick; has to be feared. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 |
26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 7lb

0-19 but respectable efforts the last twice, beaten about 5l here over 2m3f and a bit further at Southwell (2m4f); still early days over fences and there's a race in him off this mark. |

Five-time Flat winner; 0-8 over hurdles but having only his third race for Charles Byrnes and better was expected of him when last seen in October (2m2f, good) as he went off favourite; would be of strong interest should his backers return. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 80y |
10st 10lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles with two of those coming over 2m1f at this track; bounced back from some underwhelming Flat runs to win here last time (yielding to soft); on a career high mark now but he has only run ten times over hurdles so there is likely still improvement to come and he clearly likes the course. |

Enjoyed a fine spell of form between August and November last year, winning twice hurdle and Flat handicaps at Navan and Dundalk; left with lots to do on recent Listowel comeback run (behind a stablemate) so expected to come on for that with Billy Lee taking over for local yard. |
