14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Stays 2m but below-form seventh in the 2m5f Queen Alexandra in 2022; well treated today on best of his Group-race form for Aidan O'Brien and, switched to hurdling this year, he breezed home in front in a Bangor maiden (soft) for new yard ten days ago; case can be made. |

106-rated Flat performer for Aidan O'Brien, 2nd in Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris and 3rd in last year's Curragh Cup among his best performances; close 4th in a Down Royal Listed last month on his stable debut; an adequate round of jumping might be all that's needed here; handles any ground |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Maiden who has inconsistent chase form (P2P3) but looks one of the likelier players provided he backs up latest effort, namely creditable third at Warwick (3m); runs off the same mark. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Pulled up in two of three chase starts, the latest at Bangor after some guessy jumps; had run well when runner-up at Hereford (2m5f, good) in March, however, and should do better at some stage; tongue tied this time. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Placed effort over hurdles (3m1f) divides his two chase runs and was a 3l runner-up at Hereford last time (2m5f, good); more appealing than a good many. |

Generally disappointing last season but showed the benefit of a wind op when making the frame on final two appearances (2m/2m4f); begins new campaign on a workable mark and will be suited by the ground; a possible. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
13-race maiden; ran better than eventual 36l defeat suggests when today's headgear combination was used at Hexham (2m4f, good) last Tuesday but is effectively 5lb higher from out of the weights here. |

12-race maiden; beaten a combined total of 157l over hurdles in last three starts and fell at the first on her last attempt over fences; new headgear combination is tried; other runners are far more appealing. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden over hurdles, but he's thrived since switched to fences this season, winning two of his three starts and arguably unlucky not to be 3-3 after a costly mistake at the last proved his undoing at Haydock in December; the 6lb rise demands more, but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet. |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Came back in good form after a three-month break with two sound runs last month, better effort when third at Catterick in a race that has worked out well (2m3f, good); didn't fare as well dropped back to 2m last time (didn't jump as well); definite contender back up in trip. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won four times over hurdles; little promise on his first three attempts at chasing but there was much more encouragement in a never-nearer third of ten at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) four weeks ago; has been dropped 10lb in the weights since his chasing debut and drying ground should not inconvenience him in the slightest; could be ready to strike. |

A winner over hurdles at up to 3m but yet to get anything going over fences (0-3) and this is a tough race in which to put that right. |

Safely held in first two handicaps but took step forward and ran well for a long way when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; another 3lb lower here and enters calculations. |
