27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Bagged a bumper and three hurdles, including Grade 2 Dovecote last February; acquitted himself well in two big spring festivals of late; should have a future on the Flat but will likely get a mark after this third start; no headgear. |

3rd 5 |
2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
11st 4lb |
Fruitful novice campaign included a Grade 2 win at Kempton (2m, gd-sft); best run this season a 2.75l second in an Ascot handicap (19.5f, soft) in cheekpieces which return now; not a bad effort when a keeping on 7l seventh in the County Hurdle (2m1f, soft); modest run on the Flat latest; not discounted back up in trip over timber. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Smart bumper/novice hurdle form; recorded an RPR of 141 when eighth in the County Hurdle four weeks ago; no match for Constitution Hill on his Flat debut but he should do better in this sphere at some point, probably when handicapping. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Tailed off on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month; has had wind surgery since and sports first-time tongue-tie; hard to fancy. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner; failed to offer a great deal over hurdles, including on handicap debut last time after wind surgery; hard to be confident ahead of this chasing debut. |

Irish point winner; well held in three starts over hurdles last autumn; off since and has had wind surgery; watching brief advised on step up in trip for this handicap debut. |

27th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Made the frame in Irish points; hasn't fared so well in two hurdles attempts and should find handicaps (or chasing) more suitable. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score over C&D (good) last month, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt; evidently in good nick and subsequent 4lb rise is not excessive. |

1st 1 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well hell when third at Southwell (2m, good) three weeks ago but that was his first start for three months and he ran well to a point; well handicapped if judged on his two seconds in November (2m4f/2m) and has strong claims if that recent outing did him good. |
2/1 |

3rd 1 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front runner who has had a break since a poor final run; that did extend his losing sequence over fences to ten but he's threatened on occasions, as when second here in November off 2lb higher; trip/ground fine. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Maiden hurdler who was never that threatening in handicaps but his breeding offers plenty of hope that he'll do better over fences and over this longer distance; tongue-tie added; hard to dismiss. |
8/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Mark is assuming more realistic proportions nowadays; closest finish to date when under 7l fourth at Warwick latest (2m3f, good to soft), but no obvious excuses there and likely a bit more is needed today. |

Well held in two Irish bumpers and was tailed off at a big price on hurdling/stable debut at Market Rasen (2m, soft) last month. |

Soundly beaten in 2m2f bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle for Shark Hanlon; has modest form claims on debut for new connections. |
