6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Has made the frame several times at Group level since a C&D Listed win 15 months ago; not a betting proposition on account of his 1-17 record in stakes races. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Comes from off the pace; has made the frame several times at Group level since his Listed win 13 months ago; not disgraced at Epsom most recently, especially considering the race panned out unfavourably; however, chance again partly depends on whether the cards drop right. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Short-headed in a Group 2 at Meydan (7f, good) in January but he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since, most recently at the Curragh. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Short-priced favourite in maidens on first four starts, twice making most when runner-up over 1m in the mud, before getting up in the final 1f at Chester (1m2f, good) in May; 1m4f on good to firm did not work out on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (14-1) but he's worth a second crack at the trip. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Short-priced favourite in maidens all four starts; twice made most when runner-up over 1m in the mud, before getting up in the final 1f at Chester (good; unraced on firmer) six weeks ago when upped to 10.3f; others have come here by more flashy routes but it looks as if 1m4f will suit him well. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
On his third trainer and has rather chequered form but he won on hurdling debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in May and ran to a similar level when runner-up under a penalty at Kelso later that month; struggled back on the Flat last time but that was in the Northumberland Vase and he's respected back in this sphere; tongue-tie and cheekpieces are added. |

19th 2 (16) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
On his third trainer and has rather chequered form but well handicapped judged on best efforts, including his fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) in December off 7lb higher; first and second over hurdles for new yard this spring, with a never-dangerous ninth in the Chester Cup in between; worth a second look. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Useful handicapper on the Flat; made a winning hurdles debut at Sedgefield last month (2m1f, good), beating an odds-on shot who won next time, the pair well clear; penalised; the one to beat. |

AW Flat winner extended his record over hurdles to 0-7 when beaten 40l at Downpatrick earlier this month; not a bad run on the level at Tramore since but much more needed back over timber. |

Dual AW winner at 1m6f/2m1f last year; 0-15 on the Flat on turf; moderate run at Down Royal over this trip when last seen on the Flat and poor over hurdles in his last two runs; others more likely. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Progress on the Flat featured a 1m2f maiden win on good ground; has wasted no time in raising his profile as a hurdler and this Navan maiden winner pocketed valuable course experience when a rallying third behind dead-heaters Quantock Hills and Teriferma here in December (good to soft); beaten since in a Punchestown heavy-ground handicap won by Slurricane, but can jump better than he did that day and nothing was finishing stronger; has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo; makes the shortlist in first-time headgear. |

Showed good form in 2024 with a trio of wins from 1m2f-1m6f; runner-up in three of last four starts last term; fourth to Holy See on seasonal return at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft); another solid display when third over 2m at the Curragh. |
