11st 3lb |
Acts on heavy; overall record is 5-7; Grade 2 winner over hurdles; campaigned only at about 2m but he is bred to be suited by this new trip; has form figures of F11 since switched to fences, the wins in novice handicaps, latest at Cheltenham where he easily beat a subsequent scorer; improving 5yo who is a big player on the figures. |

10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Has won both races since the tongue-tie joined cheekpieces, latterly making all for a narrow success over C&D three weeks ago (good); a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world but dominating this bigger field with likely pressure up front could be challenging. |

Posted personal best in first-time tongue-strap five weeks ago, making all in four-runner race at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); that was his fourth hurdles win, and with more improvement possible he should go well again. |

11st 9lb |
Easily made all in juvenile hurdle at Kempton (2m, good to soft) last November and ran big race under another very positive ride when third in Grade 2 Adonis there (soft) in February; could be hard to catch here. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Looked as good as ever when winning readily by 7l at favourite track Taunton (2m3f, good) three weeks ago and is now 3-19 over hurdles; 7lb higher here but still respected in current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Landed a 'hands and heels' event over C&D in March and respectable efforts in two subsequent starts, latterly when second off this mark at Exeter (about 2m2f, also good; Green Sky tailed off) on Friday; on the premises again if this doesn't come too soon. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Multiple Flat winner at up to 1m6f and dual hurdles winner at up to 2m3f; goes well on a sound surface; 6lb higher than when scoring at Taunton on his penultimate start; beaten more than 9l when unpenalised at Plumpton latest, but should be competitive. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Listed Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien and initially looked a good prospect for hurdling; however, has struggled badly under both codes since returning from an absence. |
33/1 |

7th 1 (2) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Listed Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien; made a successful hurdle debut for this yard in early 2024 but it's been a struggle since then under both codes; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's hard to trust at the moment and others are preferred. |
10/1 |
