20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has only won a novice when aged two; has threatened in handicaps from 7f to 1m3f but now has to get himself back on track after three lesser shows. |
20/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win was in a Haydock novice two years ago; plenty of good runs for new yard this season but he was disappointing at Windsor on Saturday and needs to bounce back on this quick turnaround. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat on good/good to firm ground, rated 90; some top runs in defeat over hurdles; beaten a short head at Navan in September and third behind the classy Talk The Talk at Limerick next time; soft ground likely against him at Cheltenham in November; positive return to action on the level at Leopardstown last time when second; big player. |

2nd 2 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Twice a winner over slightly shorter in Bahrain winter before last; bought for 55,000gns last summer and campaigned over hurdles so far by new connections notably touched off in Navan maiden (yielding), too keen and didn't get home on soft at Cheltenham when last seen in November; yard going well, not one to rule out. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent 5yo; lurks on a dangerous mark but usually runs over middle distances nowadays and was well beaten on last month's seasonal debut. |
20/1 |

13th 7 (9) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Useful for Ralph Beckett but nowhere near that level for this yard last year, albeit placed twice over 1m2f at Doncaster off his reduced mark at the end of last summer; off six months; the betting should help guide to expectations. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best, superior to stablemate Ribba Hill; ridden out to win at Taunton (2m, good) after a break and the winner got away from him (he was beaten 12l) when he was penalised here over 2m4f; can be given another chance despite another 2lb, especially back in trip. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best; didn't show much in first four hurdle runs but he really got his act together when landing a gamble in a Taunton handicap (2m, good) last Tuesday; has a penalty but that was a convincing win and he's respected on this step back up in trip. |
11/4 |

1st 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best but lost his way in that scene last May/June and has made a quiet start over hurdles; 33-1 and upped to 2m5f when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut last time. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close third here (7f, soft) on debut in July and fifth of eight over today's C&D (good) last month in a race that has worked out well; seemingly has his limitations but can give another good account. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Slowly away and came under early pressure before keeping on for close third on last month's debut here (7f, soft); could have learnt from that experience and the step up to 1m looks the right move; he's one to consider. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful in his younger days and has found his level again for Ian Williams latterly, albeit he's been expensive to follow; two wins and a close third from four runs round here and remains consistent, so enters calculations for his new yard after three months off. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins have come at Wolverhampton over further; arrives in form, third to Poetic Force at Wolverhampton (8.6f) before finishing a close second at Newcastle last week (7f); should remain competitive. |
