4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Recorded his sixth Flat win when scoring at Sandown in August and he's won twice over hurdles since then, with his latest success in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) last month; open to more progress in this sphere and he's strongly respected on this switch to a claimer. |

11st 5lb |
Made it two wins in a row when scoring on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October and improved form in defeat the next twice, most recently third in 4yo Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in November; others may have greater potential but he might not be far away. |

Drew nicely clear to make winning handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; took a giant leap forward when splitting Givemefive and Bottler'secret at Cheltenham; had the fitness edge that day but is worth his place in the field. |

Placed in two of his three bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies before £15,000 sale in May; 15l third on hurdles debut at Market Rasen in August (2m, good; second has won since); should improve for this step up in trip. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Irish point winner; left Nicky Henderson after one underwhelming bumper run in 2023 and has not shown a great deal in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles for new stable this summer, but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and ought to be suited by the step up in trip; worth a market check. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Irish bumper winner who was in the same ownership when lasting one race with Nicky Henderson; ran okay on hurdle debut but finished tailed off the last time; best watched for now. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf. |
