12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
A very useful novice hurdler last season and ran big race when third of 17 on handicap debut at Aintree festival (2m, good) in April, having been badly hampered in early stages and made up considerable ground from the rear; 5lb higher here but still has more to offer. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Two handicap wins here this season (3m, good) and he took the rise in grade in his stride to win the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle over C&D (soft) in January; the 7l runner-up Impose Toi was giving him 6lb and perhaps wasn't at his best, but this highly progressive 7yo was impressive nevertheless; his profile is not dissimilar to that of Paisley Park, who won the Cleeve for this yard in 2019 before landing this race; very much one to be interested in. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won big-field handicap here (3m, good) in October and bounced back from lesser run at Haydock to win handicap over this C&D (good) on New Year's Day; won a bumper on soft ground; further improvement needed now up in grade but trainer enjoyed lots of success in this race with Paisley Park and this progressive 7yo is an each-way possible at a track he obviously relishes. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Record of 5-15 over hurdles and his last win was off 7lb higher; unexposed over fences and he shaped as though he needed the run on his C&D reappearance last month (first run after another wind operation); was a well-backed favourite in that race and he's a player if he can build on that. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran as though something was amiss on chasing debut in October 2024 and has not run over fences again since; however, he's made good progress over hurdles in the meantime, winning five times; ran poorly when last in action (June) but was given another wind op (his third) soon afterwards and is on a good mark if all goes to plan; interesting. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific between November 2024 and June 2025, with his four wins in that spell including two here; his progress seemed to stall subsequently but he ran well when second of five to a progressive winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last time and could be in the mix; effective on good to soft. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Exploited his fall in the weights to win from off the pace at Chester (1m6f, good) and York (2m, good to firm) in July; failed to get competitive at Musselburgh (2m2f) on latest outing; visor returned for those last three starts; remains well treated on his old form. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Below his best in three runs since returning from a break but he is on a competitive mark and may benefit from recent wind surgery. |

Two creditable efforts since returning from a short break, latest when a close fourth over 2m1f here last month off this mark; stays this far and enters calculations. |

Held on well to make all in Newcastle handicap (2m4f, good) in March, his seventh hurdle run for Philip Kirby, and is open to further improvement if fully tuned up for this stable debut (same owners); shortlisted. |

Yet to hit top gear after three runs this year (suffered heavy fall on penultimate outings) but won twice at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer and is back on a good mark now; could have a say. |

Showed some ability in three Flat runs (7f-1m) but that was in 2019 and he makes hurdling/stable debut after a mammoth absence. |
