1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Rated much higher when joining this yard in autumn 2024; remained consistent enough off a sliding mark during the winter but needs more if he's to snap the losing run. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins when trained by Hugo Palmer; now finding it difficult to get his head in front and has dropped to a career-low mark; may get in the firing line but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in September 2024 but that was off 19lb higher at Chester, and he ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still lightly raced on turf and has possibilities if he handles the conditions back in this sphere (best form has been on soft ground). |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Gained reward for his consistent efforts on the AW when beating 15 rivals in a Chelmsford novice (1m, Polytrack) in May; has run well on Tapeta including over C&D, but could only manage sixth of 12 back in a handicap at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last time; off ten weeks since and needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
26th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
No show in one start on turf, but has proved consistent on the AW including when beating 15 rivals in a Chelmsford novice (1m, Polytrack) last month; bit more needed back in a handicap, but he remains open to improvement. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Knocking on the door in recent starts; raised 3lb for short head defeat at Leopardstown on latest (7f, good); has run well on yielding to soft; in the mix again. |
9/2 |
|
2 (2) |
21st Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 30y |
10st 0lb |
Regressive in Britain; has been consistent in maidens since joining Johnny Murtagh; Irish handicap debut at Naas provides plenty of encouragement; runs from a mark 13lb below her original assessment as a juvenile. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Close up in a maiden last time when the winner was rated only 63; consistent though and this is her first handicap for Jonny Murtagh. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Won his third race when taking a Killarney handicap over 1m last July off this mark; some solid runs since, including when third of 13 at Gowran last week (1m2f, soft); inside draw and good amateur aboard. |
15/8 |

3rd 1 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 1f 100y |
10st 2lb |
Won his third race when taking a Killarney handicap over 1m last July off this mark; some solid runs since and should improve from recent Curragh return; a player. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

Won at Killarney in July over 1m on yielding-to-soft; also ran well to take third over the same trip at Ayr; stable had a handicap winner at Naas last week. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A mixed bag so far, going close at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in June and Sandown (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) the following month, but hasn't threatened in his other six starts; enough to prove especially in the conditions. |
14/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Twice beaten half a length this summer, at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in June and at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July; a player on those efforts, but he reportedly bled at Kempton last month which would be a concern. |
7/1 |
|
7th 10 (5) |
12th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took his record to 0-6 but emerged with credit when second of ten at Sandown 12 days ago (1m, good to firm; visored first time), keeping on well; 2lb higher today but returning to Polytrack will be no issue and he's a leading contender. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden who hasn't progressed from a close fourth on the AW last winter; hopes rest on the visor turning things around on this step up in trip (cheekpieces didn't do much for her). |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well in all three starts over 6f/7f on the Newcastle Tapeta late last year, but has gone the wrong way since including on last month's reappearance/turf debut; enough to prove in the returning cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
10th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Solely raced on Tapeta, though on pedigree turf will suit; 3lb lower now than for December's close Newcastle fourth (7f), but refusal to settle three times either side of that tempers confidence in her capitalising. |

4th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten a neck at Bath (1m2f, good) last month on second handicap start and another good run when close fifth at Lingfield (1m1f, good) last time, when those ridden more prominently held sway; unraced on slow ground; solid claims for trainer who won this two years ago. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still a maiden on the Flat but a winner over hurdles at Sedgefield for his present yard over the winter so can't be dismissed back in this sphere. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Scored on stable debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day but two lesser efforts have followed this year, the latter back at Sedgefield last month; now has a point to prove. |
10/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Made a winning yard debut over C&D in December but he was pulled up in 2m4f handicap at Newcastle only run since; he has a bit to prove now. |

29th Jul 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden; similar form in two 6f runs at Ripon this month; improvement needed now dropping to 5f for the first time. |

6th 7 (4) |
20th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Best form so far when third in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in February; fair fifth over C&D on third turf start last time (good); more needed. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
8th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden; best form on the AW with a visor; tailed off on both turf starts this season, the first with cheekpieces tried (6f) and most recently over 7.5f with a visor back on (retained); others look stronger. |
16/1 |
