11st 10lb |
Won twice in novice company for Stuart Edmunds last year but became very disappointing for that stable during the winter and posed no threat when reappearing for new trainer last month; has a lot to prove. |

10st 13lb |
Went close on his Flat debut (September 2022) but regressed afterwards and left Brian Meehan for 9,500gns this July; remains to be seen whether hurdling will float his boat. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Bumper form was nothing to shout about, with her latest third a remote last; others are much preferred. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 5f 159y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Travelled well for a long way when a 7l sixth at Kempton (2m, good to soft) on his debut in February but he failed to build on that when out the back at Fakenham last month; others preferred. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Finished sixth of eight at Kempton (2m, good to soft; 14-1) on her debut in February but she travelled smoothly for a long way and was only beaten around 7l in the end; should benefit from that experience and she's not ruled out. |

1st Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish bumper winner in August; dramatic exit on last month's stable/hurdle debut at Huntingdon; possibly best watched for now. |

In a first-time tongue-tie when winning a soft-ground bumper at Kilbeggan and the runner-up won a maiden hurdle last month; should win more races for new connections. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has had three wins over hurdles but yet to convince on his suitability for this distance, latest when seventh of eight finishers at Haydock (2m5f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained). |
10/1 |
|
7th 12 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
All five wins have been at about 2m or 2m1f; wasn't that strong through the line over Bangor's extended 2m3f last time (good) and has further to go here; tries cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Hasn't fired as he can this season but he's well handicapped on form that wasn't that long ago; back from a break and hasn't had many chances over this sort of trip. |
6/1 |
