6th 2 (1) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first two starts in February/March 2024 (both 1m; Tapeta and Polytrack); absent for 430 days prior to his disappointing turf/handicap debut last May; down in class and returned to AW after another absence; risky, but could still have potential. |

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Evens favourite when making a successful debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in February 2024 and he followed up with a comfortable win under a penalty at Kempton the following month; been absent since but he looks a useful prospect for handicaps and is an interesting contender on his comeback. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1-25 on Flat, tailed off when last seen at Southwell in January; bit to prove on hurdling debut but this is not a strong contest and he would have a squeak if taking well to the new discipline. |
25/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Useful on the Flat, although sole win came back in 2024, narrowly beaten here over 2m last summer; equally talented hurdler, but some stiff tasks of late; market likely informative back on the Flat. |
8/1 |

6th 9 |
28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for yard; Useful on the Flat; off the mark over hurdles in a C&D maiden in February (sft-hvy); beaten 11.5l when midfield in the Supreme at Cheltenham (when Townend rode) and raced keenly before pulled up in the Fairyhouse Grade 2 won by Koktail Brut latest; overlooked by Townend here. |
20/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Useful Flat handicapper; finished in mid-field in the 2025 Triumph on hurdling debut; easy winner of a Punchestown maiden in January; second-best of a disappointing Irish contingent when sixth in the Supreme Novices; giving him a slight edge over Koktail Brut. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Came good at the 26th attempt over C&D in February when making all; has ran well twice since over C&D when in the money and a danger to all if he can grab an early lead in returning cheekpieces. |
9/4 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Disappointing at Southwell (6f) last time but he went close over C&D on his penultimate run and that was after an emphatic front-running success at this track; drawn out wide on this step back up in trip but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

1m novice winner on the AW; first run since being gelded when not getting home over 1m2f on handicap debut at Chelmsford; respected back at this trip, for all that blinkers are soon turned to. |

Modest Flat performer has failed to land a blow in three maiden hurdles; opening mark probably on the high side. |

28th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 11lb |
Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft). |
25/1 |

16th 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Well held in his two previous handicaps as a jumper but has since won a Cork novice and a staying handicap on the AW; others are a bit more intriguing, however; cheekpieces removed. |

7th 1 (9) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dual AW winner; beaten 5.5l over C&D (good) a month ago on first run for 187 days and could be sharper for that outing, and benefit from the new cheekpieces; one to consider. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat winner but she's yet to match that form in this sphere, fifth of six in C&D handicap in October; needs to step forward after her absence. |
12/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Dual 1m4f AW winner for Michael Bell in March; soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) for new stable last month but now makes handicap hurdle debut from a lowly mark and it won't be a surprise if she gets much more competitive this time. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
21-race maiden but he's not been with James Owen for long and has finished runner-up in classified events over C&D and at Lingfield (7f, AW) in last two starts; should get a good pace on this drop back in trip and he's respected back in a handicap; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |
9/2 |

5 (2) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
20-race maiden but he's not been with James Owen for long and was a close second in a classified event at Chelmsford (6f, AW) last week; that was eyecatching from off the pace and he looks interesting back up in trip. |
5/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

0-19 but shaped well before fading into fiffh in 1m Lingfield handicap for new stable this month (first-time visor) and may benefit from today's drop back in trip; interesting. |

7,000gns foal; closely related to C'Est No Mour who won 13 races (eight for Simon Hodgson); might be one for further down the line; already gelded. |
