24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won a Listed bumper here last season; tends to travel too strongly for his own good (races keenly) and can finish weakly, as was the case when a beaten favourite on recent hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m); however, a first-time hood and the possibility of a solid gallop to chase means he can't be discounted. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
It wasn't a strong Listed race that he won here in November (good; coped with softer in points) but he had loads more in hand than the narrow margin would suggest; turned over since at odds-on at Huntingdon but a blind eye can be turned to that as he was far too gassy off tepid fractions; could be seen in a different light here should they crack on at a solid pace and top trainer has been talking up his chances. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
1-8 over hurdles, up in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December; with two major backward steps since, a lot seemingly depends on his subsequent wind surgery and today's first tongue-tie. |
6/1 |
|
8th 9 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who was suited by the step up in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December on his third handicap start; merely mid-division at Newbury (3m, good to soft) since but not written off in view of the promise shown on his penultimate start. |
8/1 |
|
9th 8 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Opened his hurdles account in similar event at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last time; remains unexposed at this sort of distance and bumper form suggests he has the potential to do better still; shortlisted. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner who hasn't been out of the first two over hurdles and his defeat two runs back was at the hands of a useful horse; odds of 1-4 last time and that win told us little, but he brings momentum into this handicap debut. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A fairly useful dual bumper winner who has made a promising start in this sphere, landing C&D novice in February before advancing his form when second of five under a penalty at Bangor (2m) 16 days ago; holds major claims. |
4/7 |
|
2nd 1 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won two bumpers and also ran well in a Listed race at Cheltenham; narrowly denied on his hurdle debut here (soft) but comfortably went one better as an odds-on chance at Doncaster (good to soft); talented and going the right way. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 60y |
11st 1lb |
Dual bumper winner who beat recent Listowel winner Reaching High (stablemate of Witches Familiar) in a good-ground maiden hurdle at Killarney; well held in 1m6f Flat race last week; probably vulnerable unless he can raise his game. |
12/1 |
|
6th 11 |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner got off the mark over hurdles last time at Killarney; is now rated 118 in that sphere so has a fair bit to find with some of these rivals. |
16/1 |

1st 3 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner in 2024; two runs last year were solid and beaten 16l at Roscommon (2m, yielding) 18 days ago after ten months off; entitled to come on for that but others still open to more progress. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and 2m4f maiden (Punchestown) hurdle winner; let down by jumping over fences and well held back over hurdles at Galway festival (3m); return to this shorter trip should suit but questions to answer nonetheless. |
16/1 |
|
9th 8 |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 60y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper and 2m4f maiden (Punchestown) hurdle winner; unseated two out when shaping with promise on first two chase efforts, most recently completed but again let down by jumping at Wexford; reverts to hurdles here, placings over this trip in maidens. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 |
30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner; never competitive against smart rivals in first two chases, but was running with some credit when exiting two out both times; a clear round the obvious priority now. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten on two of his three stable starts but ran well when third at Worcester (2m4f, good) in between, where he was in front before a last-flight jumping error cost him momentum; sports a first-time visor here and could still come good for Ben Pauling. |
7/2 |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-6 over hurdles but bettered disappointing stable debut when third at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month, where he was in front before a last-flight jumping error cost him momentum; effectively 2lb higher here but could still have a bigger run in him. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 10 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled in four novice/maiden hurdles last year and was beaten nearly 33l when 9-4 second favourite for last month's stable/handicap debut; needs significant improvement over this new trip but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |
