9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; ran poorly at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-21 over hurdles but was clear second to a progressive rival on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if judged on that. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

0-22 under rules, but having been well supported he ran his best race so far when second of ten on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month (first and fourth have won since); up 5lb but still 1lb well in and shortlisted if building on that. |

Came from off the pace to win over C&D (good to soft) in April and posted another good effort behind Luminaries at Kelso (3m, good) the following month, but didn't fire when last in action and others in this line-up have more pressing claims. |
