11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Pulled up when 100-1 for hurdling debut in January but the ground was heavy that day and he fared much better when fifth of ten here (2m, good) in July; now needs to take another big step forward over today's much longer trip. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't achieve much when third in his first bumper and forgettable since, latterly on hurdling debut (100-1). |

28th Mar 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in three of his Irish points and minor honours in all three bumpers; while hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, heavy) in January was satisfactory, he disappointed there (2m3f, soft) next time and none of his form makes him a leading contender today. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Placed in three of his Irish points and minor honours in all three bumpers (two on soft); 13l third on hurdling debut here (2m, heavy) last month but he kept battling behind an odds-on rival and shaped as though this stiffer stamina test would suit; in the mix. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Placed in three of his Irish points and minor honours in all three bumpers (two on soft); assuming hurdles are no problem, he's in the mix. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Regressed over hurdles for Dan Skelton and a similar story currently as a chaser; this is no easy race in which to arrest the slide; goes in cheekpieces; 1lb wrong. |
40/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Failed to kick on over hurdles for Dan Skelton after successful at Lingfield (2m) last January; it's been a similar story over fences for his new yard and he came in a remote sixth of ten at Worcester (2m) in July; not easy to warm to. |
20/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ended his time over hurdles for Dan Skelton under something of a cloud; not disgraced on yard/chasing debut with third in 2m4f handicap here but pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase back here 20 days ago; has something to prove now. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up in a Wetherby bumper (2m, good to soft) on debut in December and when switched to hurdling here (2m, heavy) last month; finished 5l ahead of Blue Bellamy in the latter and open to progress on this step up in trip; interesting contender. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Half-brother to his yard's bumper, 2m7f hurdle and useful 3m-3m6f chase winner Moroder; 25-1 and hooded when making no show in a bumper at Plumpton (good to soft) two months ago. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
His two turf wins last summer came off higher marks, including in an amateurs' handicap; moderate form this year and the blinkers, worn once before when pulled up over fences, are given another try. |
16/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
He's 2lb lower than when winning at Brighton last August but has struggled to get competitive this year and needs to turn things around. |
16/1 |

9th 2 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Won twice for Nick Littmoden, including over 1m4f at Brighton (good) last August; low-key form since joining this trainer in May for 6,000gns and has plenty to prove at present. |

2nd 4 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won handicaps at Musselburgh (hurdle; 2m4f, soft) and Catterick (chase; 2m3f, good to soft) on first two outings for this yard; beaten at short odds but advanced his RPR again when stepped up to around 3m under rules for the first time in a Newcastle chase four weeks ago, going down by a neck to a next-time-out winner with the pair 16l clear; another 6lb higher back hurdling but it may not stop him, particularly if reacting well to the new cheekpieces (added to the tongue-tie he's worn since joining this stable). |
7/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two out of two for current yard, winning handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) and handicap chase at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft); up 9lb; tongue-tie, tried on last two starts, is back on again; stable going well and he's one to take seriously. |
