7th 9 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
7f novice winner for previous yard; resurgent over 6f at Windsor (third start for new yard) most recently, while shaping as if this step back up in trip will suit; could go well off a reduced mark. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Not solid on his handicap form; failed to beat a rival in big-field event at Newmarket (second run for new yard) most recently; drop back in grade may help but there are signs that he's regressing. |
20/1 |
|
18th 16 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
First-time blinkers when making all for easy win in Epsom novice (7f, soft) in September 2024; encouraging return from a year's absence the following October but he left Ralph Beckett after a moderate effort next time; weak in the market for his stable debut when it all went wrong at the start 19 days ago. |

11th Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Showed ability with her second-place finish at Epsom (7f, soft) but she was 6l behind the winner and ran to an ordinary RPR; needs a significant chunk of improvement to go one better in this deeper race. |

21st Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to build on his debut promise but blinkers return for this nursery debut and stepping up in trip should suit on breeding; Kieran Shoemark 6-22 for the yard (another five placed) for a level-stake profit of +51; interesting contender. |

26th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Form has been going the wrong way for a while now; gets a good jockey booking, but otherwise hard to fancy. |

8th 8 (8) |
3rd Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well beaten in three 6f handicaps for new yard this winter; cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; down in the weights and the return to 7f could help. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Form comprises modest efforts over 7f at novice level and a non-staying performance in 1m2f AW nursery; combination of switch to 1m and first-time headgear may do the trick. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well held in three 7f novice events, but he's a brother to a fairly useful 1m2f AW winner and could show a lot more now switched to a nursery at this new trip; needs watching in market. |
8/1 |

29th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 10lb
|
Down the field on all three starts (7f) but makes handicap debut off a modest mark and there's potential in his pedigree, with his breeding suggesting he may be suited by today's step up in trip. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 65y |
11st 5lb |
Dual AW winner in Britain; money arrived for him on handicap debut at Clonmel (2m, soft) and he scored by a length under a hand ride; up 10lb. |
7/4 |
|
1st 9 |
2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |
11st 1lb |
Dual AW winner in Britain; some promise on hurdle/stable debut when fourth at Fairyhouse, raced keenly; made little impact at Thurles and Naas but could be a different proposition on handicap hurdle debut for shrewd connections; monitor the betting. |
10/1 |
|
8th 17 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Dual AW winner in Britain for William Knight with a rating of 68; some promise in his hurdling/stable debut, 14.5l fourth of 12 at Fairyhouse; ran keenly that day; hooded at Thurles last time when a much bigger price and ran like it; others preferred. |
