Well beaten in his sole point and modest form when third of six in a bumper at Fontwell (2m2f, soft; 12-1) on Boxing Day; work to do. |

3rd Mar 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Minor form in two bumpers and well beaten in three AW maidens at about 1m; makes his handicap debut for respected trainer/jockey combination, but not sure the big step up in trip is the answer. |
9/1 |

29th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Looked a non-stayer in two bumpers late last year; two runs in Tapeta maidens this month don't suggest he's the answer. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Point/bumper winner who made it 2-2 over hurdles when beating subsequent Dovecote winner Klub De Reve under a penalty at Exeter (2m, good to soft); however, he was turned over at odds-on at Leicester later in December and needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
All four runs have been on soft or heavy ground; Irish point winner who had form figures of 312 in bumpers last season and he was progressive in that sphere; returns after wind surgery but he could have a good future over hurdles and he's an interesting contender. |
100/30 |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed some promise in his bumpers but was well held when fourth here (2m1f, good to soft) on recent hurdling debut and has a lot to find with the principals. |
50/1 |

4th 1 |
27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed a bit in bumpers, though was no closer than 16l in any of them; best watched on this hurdling introduction. |

14th Feb 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Beaten some 16l at Fontwell (soft) but the winner is looking a nice prospect; however, the other two with experience showed that bit more on their debuts. |

9st 5lb |
Record of 0-3 in bumpers and 0-4 on Flat; however, ran promisingly (stayed on for third) in C&D handicap when last seen; possibilities provided he builds on that May effort. |
