23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn; well beaten again on stable debut in March but, after wind surgery, he returned to chasing with a good second at Fakenham (3m, good) 19 days ago; has possibilities if he can build on that but his last win was in 2023. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn and was again well beaten when returning for new stable in March; given a wind op since and reverts to chasing on a workable mark but still looks risky. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Best known as a chaser these days and was tailed off back over hurdles on his final run for Gordon Elliott, whom he left for £30,000; on a good mark but there's much to prove on first sighting since October. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
With James Owen for 18 months (Scottish National fourth in April) before joining this yard; Borders National win at Kelso (4m, soft) in December was his best form for nearly two years and he kept jumping to his right, so reverting to a right-handed track today may well help; back up 5lb but shortlisted. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Only 1-10 (hurdles win) during his spell with James Owen but ran respectably in the Scottish National on last appearance; sold for £24,000 since; headgear removed; heed the market signals. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Won over hurdles in December in a first-time visor, which he also wore next time and returns today; well held with first-time blinkers in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham one month ago, taking sixth in that 3m2f race for the second year running; new trip but he's not persuasive. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Appreciated eased in grade at Bangor (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago, winning readily by 10l; contests deeper race here but probably still on workable mark after 5lb rise, and quicker ground also suits. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Exposed ex-Irish gelding who has yet to score for Dan Skelton (0-10); however, he has been contesting stronger races and was going nicely in clear lead when falling six out in major handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, soft; fine on good) in January; his subsequent Ascot run needs forgiving but that was a Class 1 race. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Record of 0-9 for current yard but he ran well over hurdles on this card last year; still going nicely in clear lead when falling six out in major handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, soft) most recently; shortlisted. |

Running well until blowing out on his final run in November but remains a maiden and he's debuting for a new yard after 131 days off. |

3rd Aug 2023 Yielding 2m 6f 111y |
11st 5lb |
Five-time winner and very consistent over flights; no match for Joyeux Machin in a 3m hurdle at Wexford; respectable debut over fences when second in a beginners at Kilbeggan; should improve for that and be a factor here. |
