29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Useful form as a 2yo but struggled in his three runs last season; sold out of Alice Haynes's stable for 22,000gns last October; likely to come good for new connections off a reduced mark but this looks a pretty stiff task after eight months away. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after his Ayr win (6f, good to firm) 13 months ago, placed in a Newbury Listed event before sixth of nine in a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood; reappeared with a heavy defeat in a Listed race at Newmarket in May and he couldn't make an impact when switched to a handicap at Salisbury (first run since gelded) last month; still unexposed but has bit to prove and needs to raise his game with cheekpieces added. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Highly tried after his Ayr win (6f, good to firm) 12 months ago, placed in a Newbury Listed event before sixth of nine in a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood; well beaten in 7f Listed race at Newmarket on reappearance eight weeks ago, after which he was gelded; makes handicap debut against useful opposition. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Turf maiden winner who is 0-11 in handicaps but went down by only a neck in Lingfield AW event (6f) on stable/seasonal debut and is worth keeping in mind despite posting a lesser effort since. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 5f scorer for Richard Fahey; made a promising start for Robert Cowell after four months off when second of 12 in 6f Lingfield handicap four weeks ago; up 3lb but he must enter calculations. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
2yo Listed runner-up in September 2024 for Richard Fahey; 0-9 last year but has a dangerous mark to work with on his first start for a new trainer, who can do well with recruits from other yards (remains in the same ownership); interesting, all the more so if attracting market support. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good second at Thirsk on his seasonal return last month; sent off favourite at Ayr on the strength of it but could only manage sixth of the seven runners behind Starliner (Donna Nook second); cheekpieces return. |
4/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Strike-rate is only 1-16 but he gained the win at Ayr and returns here off an attractive mark (peak one was 15lb higher); ran encouragingly at Thirsk (1m, good; 1l second) most recently, proving suited by the switch back to turf from AW. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (8) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to add to his 2yo novice win but is down to a mark in the 60s for the first time now back on the grass after a two-month break; a return to form wouldn't surprise. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he bagged a third success in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago when overcoming a wide passage; up 3lb but this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Took a long time to get off the mark but he's got the hang of winning now, having been successful over C&D and 7f at Southwell in two of his last three starts in classified events (outstayed at about 1m1f in between); should make a good go of it back in a handicap. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Seems tactically versatile; hooded when winning Naas Listed event (good) last May and followed up in Leopardstown Group 3 (also 7f, soft) the following month; left Michael O'Callaghan (same owner) after disappointing on heavy ground in October; Ryan Moore booked and she sets the standard on this stable debut/reappearance; plenty to like. |
7/4 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Showed ability for Diego Dias last season; promising second in 7f Curragh maiden on stable/seasonal debut; encouraging Group 3 fifth next time after meeting trouble in running; won 7f Naas Listed race in May; confirmed progression when asserting strongly for 7f Leopardstown Group 3 win in June; can continue on the upgrade. |
