3rd 1 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has improved for patient tactics, winning at Haydock (1m7f, good) before going close in the always-strong Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (good to soft); raised 3lb for that but this former smart Flat performer should be seen to good effect around here. |

2nd 5 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it four wins from his eight starts over hurdles (various ground) when returning to form to score at Haydock (1m7f, good) two months ago, when ridden more patiently; 5lb higher in a better race today and needs a career-best but he's unexposed under hold-up tactics and is not written off. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Talented Flat performer (stayed 1m6f) who won three novice hurdles this year (2m4f/2m, various ground) before finishing fourth of 14 in novice handicap final at Sandown (2m, good) in April; could have more to offer now back up in trip and trainer has won the last three runnings. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
The best of these over hurdles with a mark of 147 but has yet to prove himself as effective over fences, as he was no match for Frankie John at Galway and then faded out disappointingly at Killarney, albeit in a good race; has to raise his game. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise when beaten 30l+ in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m-2m4f) during the winter and seems rather harshly treated for this handicap debut but, nevetheless, he's open to significant improvement if he takes well to fences. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very respectable fourth over C&D (soft) on hurdle debut in January and looked set to finish third here (heavy) before penultimate-flight fall in February; each-way claims if tuned up after 250-day absence. |

11th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Posted her first piece of worthwhile form when 100-1 second of six behind easy winner at Carlisle (2m1f, good) last month; that was a weak race and further improvement is needed today, but she's in good hands to progress. |
