30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
All three wins over hurdles have been over C&D; returned to form when beaten a neck over C&D (good) last month and filled the same position at Aintree (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; is a major force around here and must come into the reckoning. |

2nd 5 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins at Stratford; returned to form with close second there (2m2f, good) last month and can probably cope with subsequent 2lb nudge but he's away from his favourite track today. |

2nd 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins over C&D on good ground, the latest by 7l from the front last June; ran well to a point here last month, after a layoff, and will be dangerous off this mark if that outing brought him on. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles now but looked suited by the step up in trip when running big race in C&D handicap (good) in May and ought to make his presence felt again in this maiden. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Close up in a 2m2f Stratford novice (good) last June but on the slide since and he's been pulled up in the last two of his three handicaps; still lightly raced in this sphere but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has plenty to prove at this new trip. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Triple Flat winner who is 1-13 over hurdles; that jumps win was by 11l in a Newton Abbot handicap (2m2f, good) in May but he's 9lb higher here and was held back in a novice at Stratford (2-1) last month; others are more persuasive. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took 12 goes to get off the mark over hurdles but it was very easy under Megan Bevan in a 2m2f handicap at Newton Abbot 12 days ago when in first-time cheekpieces; that was on good ground but he can deal with it softer; strong form claims even with the penalty. |

11th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Winning pointer; went close in modest maiden hurdle at Bangor (2m3f, good) in June but was pulled up on subsequent handicap debut and managed only fifth over C&D when back in novice company last time; others look stronger. |
20/1 |

5th 8 |
19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Maiden point winner in April (3m, good to soft; 4-7); fair efforts over hurdles on next two starts, notably when close second to Briefly (7lb worse off) at Bangor (2m3f, good) in June; pulled up in a handicap last time but still interesting. |
9/1 |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a maiden point in April (3m, good to soft; runner-up has won since); in the frame in two runs over hurdles since, last time finishing a close second to a 4-9 shot in a Bangor mares' maiden (2m3f, good; first two clear); of interest on handicap debut. |

7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Out of a well-connected mare who has produced two useful hurdlers; won on good ground last March in her second appearance in a point bumper; 28-1, made most when 18l fifth of 13 in bumper at Aintree (2m1f, good) last May for Max Comley, which also showed ability. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
No worthwhile form (0-6), failing to progress for a switch to fences at Newton Abbot (3m2f) three weeks ago; now 5lb lower, so probably shouldn't be entirely dismissed yet. |
25/1 |

7th 3 |
25th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
No worthwhile form in two bumpers of three starts over hurdles, including after wind surgery and fitted with a tongue-tie since joining this stable; has stamina in his pedigree so the step up in trip makes some appeal now switching to fences at a modest level, but he has lots to prove. |

11st 2lb |
Dual 1m4f winner on Flat in Germany and produced smart form; recruited for 40,000 euros and made a successful hurdling debut over 2m here (good; effective on softer) despite pulling hard; penalised in a stronger race here but clearly commands attention. |

Dual 1m4f winner on Flat in Germany and his peak RPR is very useful; sold for 40,000euros since last run; half-brother to a Hungarian jumps winner; interesting recruit who looks one for the shortlist. |
