18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a patchy record but he made it 2-10 over hurdles when justifying support at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in November; 6lb higher on his return but that was a comfortable success and he looks worth a try at this new trip; not ruled out. |

11st 12lb |
Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner who is on a reduced mark; however, he failed to shine in handicap hurdles last season and was tailed off on last month's chase debut at Perth. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won a Class 2 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; from 7lb higher) in March 2025, but has failed to match that level of form since (0-9); wasn't beaten too far over C&D (Class 3; fourth of seven) three weeks ago, and a similar effort would give him a shout in this added tongue-tie; 2-10 for Alan Doyle. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Three wins last season; hasn't scaled the same heights this time round, although latest third of six at Newcastle was a bit more encouraging and he's well handicapped if staging a full-scale revival. |

3rd 7 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Three wins last season, the latest over 2m5f off a 5lb higher mark on good to soft at Kelso in March; hasn't done quite as well this term, but these conditions suit and is back on a decent mark. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Was running quite well over fences until last time when pulled up; has a higher hurdle mark despite being a maiden in this discipline but if back on song he should be competitive in this bad a race. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Probably fortunate to win off today's mark over C&D (good to soft; leader fell at final fence) in October, but that was still a good effort and his next two runs were respectable; contender if tuned up after 97-day break. |

29th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
13-race maiden but came close to breaking his duck when a close second at the fourth attempt over fences at Huntingdon (2m7.5f; good) this month; back up 2lb but has less to prove than most. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
raced lazily at times, prominent, dropped to midfield before 7th, pushed along and led after 3 out, ridden out and went clear run-in |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
His first three races were for two other yards; ran in three handicaps for current stable, on second occasion coming home strongly from off the pace to win seven-runner race at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) despite some iffy jumping; however, he showed little at Taunton (2m3f, soft) one month ago; very mixed messages, therefore, despite the likely benefit on new trip. |

30th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Brother to smart 2m7f-3m1f jumps winner Embassy Gardens; disappointing as favourite in sole point but was a promising third in Punchestown bumper for Emmet Mullins last April; hasn't gone on from that in three runs since but he shaped better than the bare facts in 2m4f maiden here (good) on recent stable debut; now drops back in trip but he's one to keep an eye on. |

Disappointing as favourite in sole point; promising third in Punchestown bumper last April but he didn't go on from that in last two runs (bumper/hurdle) for Emmet Mullins; still early days but he changed hands for £2,500 last month and has bit to prove for new yard. |

11st 12lb |
In the frame in his three bumpers; hurdle results have been going the wrong way (hooded last time, as on debut) but this is his handicap debut and it could be that he is of renewed interest; market may guide. |

In the frame in three bumpers and similar level of form in two hurdle races at Newcastle, last time fading late on after making the running; this sharper track may suit better. |

10st 2lb |
Respectable fifth over C&D (good; first run after wind op) last month and didn't run badly on the Flat a fortnight later (first-time tongue-tie) but he's 0-26 under all codes now and is 6lb out of the weights today. |
