13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-3 in bumpers last year (two wins here) and opened hurdling account in modest Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, soft) in December; not discredited when fifth over 2m7f at Thurles (good) later that month and has good claims on this handicap debut if ready to roll after 204-day absence. |

10st 10lb |
Second foal; unraced dam closely related to Champion Hurdle winner Rock On Ruby and useful bumper/2m-2m6f hurdle winner Alpine Glade out of unraced half-sister to smart hurdler Bank View; interesting pedigree; one of three in this for his trainer, who is 19% in GB bumpers over five seasons. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a Stratford bumper in July 2025 (2m, good to firm); yet to win over hurdles but several good runs, notably when third in a 2m7f handicap at Newcastle in October; not so good last time but off since; a possible. |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a Stratford bumper in July; not always the most fluent of jumpers but third on all three starts over hurdles, last time on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m7f, good); drop in trip no problem and has shown promise on good to soft ground. |
4/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who made satisfactory start to hurdling career, though did make some mistakes when beaten at odds-on last time; still rates a likely contender now back over further for handicap debut. |

Finished 21l fourth in a Perth bumper in May (2m, good to soft) and creditable 9l fifth on second hurdles start over 2m here last month (soft); may improve over 2m4f. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Trained in Shropshire but has raced mainly in Scotland; followed two wins at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) over the winter with creditable third of 15 at Ayr (2m, soft) three weeks ago; more needed off unchanged mark. |
25/1 |

3rd 5 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who is 2-2 since sent into handicaps, both wins over 1m7f on good to soft ground at Musselburgh; an 8lb rise seems harsh enough for last time, for all that he won readily, and this a lot deeper; still respected with him on an upward curve. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
11-race maiden with an unconvincing profile and he's 7lb out of the weights on stable debut. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Placed only once and even that form gives him something to find; maiden status looks set to persist. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who produced one of his better runs when third of eight at Catterick (1m7f, soft) recently; however, that looked a weak race and he'll need a bigger performance today if he's to get off the mark. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt, at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last month, and followed up at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft); climbing the weights but clearly progressive and unexposed over this trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Seems best away from soft ground; off the mark (tenth attempt) in a 12-runner novice handicap at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) 17 days ago, coming from the rear to justify favouritism under 7lb claimer, and the way she did it gives hope for this new trip; back up 5lb but one to note. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Career best, runner-up at Doncaster (2m4f, good to soft; from 2lb lower) on penultimate start; said to have "overraced on tacky soft ground" at Ayr subsequently; this looks a suitable next objective off a two-month break; possibilities. |
