15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won soft-ground bumper for Ben Pauling in February 2024; failed to complete on his last two runs over hurdles last term so it will be like starting over again on this first run back; still has potential and cannot dismiss. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 176y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who came good over hurdles with two 2m3f wins at Taunton (good to soft/soft) last winter; absent since 2m4f second at Sandown in February but should cope with the drop back in trip on this chasing debut and has some Irish pointing experience to call upon. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won readily on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) and again had something to spare there (2m3f, soft) nine days later, when unpenalised; hit with 8lb rise but this unexposed 6yo could still be well treated. |

jumped right throughout, raced in second and chased clear leader, headway before 6th, led 4 out, shaken up before 2 out, pushed out run-in, comfortably |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Gained his bumper and maiden hurdle wins at this time of year but doesn't obviously arrive in much form having pulled up in a handicap hurdle and chase since reappearing after wind surgery. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Point/bumper/2m maiden hurdle winner; remains lightly raced but ran poorly on last month's seasonal/handicap hurdle debut (2m3f) and it's hard to know what to expect from him over this much longer trip on chase debut. |

Sole success came over C&D on soft ground; beaten a long way both starts this season but he's now back to his winning mark and a return to Uttoxeter could spark a revival. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Sixth foal; brother to 1m 2yo Listed winner Blue Gardenia, half-brother to three winners including Pythagoras (6.5f-1m including 2yo Listed) and Yukon (2m1f hurdle); dam 1m winner out of half-sister to Champion Stakes winner Alborada; trainer has not had a bumper horse win or place this term but this Flat-bred 4yo needs a close look. |

17th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Regressive profile in novice/maiden hurdles; goes handicapping off a really tempting mark judged on the RPR for his big-price bumper debut success, but a bit to take on trust just now. |

Stable no stranger to bumper winners but this newcomer isn't bred to stay 2m; probably best watched. |
