8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful form in handicap hurdles at about 2m4f and time might show he had a tough task trying to give plenty of weight to the first two on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in June; major player off the same mark. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-6 over hurdles; returned from a break with creditable fourth of 14 in competitive Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good) in April; will be a tough nut to crack in this lower grade if he takes to fences at the first attempt. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up in a Grade 2 in December but it's been a progressive campaign otherwise and was a closing third over 2m6f at Kelso (handicap on good to soft) when last sighted later that month; unlikely that a lack of recent match practice will hold him back here and could be interesting. |

Runner-up in Huntingdon maiden (2m3f, good) on stable debut last October but was disappointing favourite on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) one year ago and has not raced again since; had wind op in June. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A half-brother to useful hurdler Sarasota Star; displayed promise in a couple of good-ground bumpers in the spring, staying on well into fifth of 16 at Ludlow on debut having been reluctant to go to post; more probably needed on hurdle debut back from a 138-day break. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Versatile trip-wise as his recent run of solid form has been from 1m7f to 3m; should give his running but does look vulnerable off this high a mark in this strong a race. |
10/1 |

4th 11 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Has won at about this trip but he was well beaten in this race last year and, despite a 2m1f win at Newcastle last time out, he could have his work cut out at this competitive level. |
9/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won his maiden here over 2m4f; a number of good runs in handicaps and 3m looked a stretch in a Class 2 at Musselburgh last time; something to prove over quite this sharp a trip but definite chance if he copes with it. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In excellent form for new stable in the spring, winning three in a row under Fern O'Brien (2m4f-3m) on good ground; has fitness to prove after 116-day break and latest 10lb rise asks quite a lot of him but further progress is possible. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon (20.5f, good) in April and followed up in a four-runner contest at Ludlow (3m, good) last month with Galway Reel 13l back in second; up 7lb and holds strong claims once again. |
8/13 |

11th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Mid-race unseat over fences on stable debut in March and got up late to win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) three weeks ago when back hurdling; there's every chance the step back up in trip will suit and he could have more to offer for this yard. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Flat bred; built on a promising debut when winning a fair Kempton bumper in February 2023 but has not been sighted since; goes up in trip on hurdle debut but probably best watched returning from such a long absence, unless strong in the market; has been gelded. |

in touch with leaders, pushed along over 3f out, ridden over 2f out, steady headway from over 1f out, made strong challenge inside final furlong, led but hard pressed final 110yds, kept on strongly, just prevailed |
