14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Landed his second race over hurdles when scoring at Doncaster (2m, soft) in November; has been a beaten favourite on two starts since but is still quite unexposed and should run well. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

2-4 over hurdles, the latter win gained in Doncaster handicap (2m, soft) in November; slightly disappointing when upped to 2m3f at Haydock in December but may still have potential and remains of interest. |

Soundly beaten when fifth of 12 at 9-1 on debut in Hereford bumper (2m, good to soft) in December but that run gives him something to build on and his yard is in fine form; market check advised on hurdle debut. |

Below par at Wincanton in December and turned over at odds-on at Ludlow last month, following wind surgery; however, she's not ruled out in view of the promise she showed on her first two hurdle starts in November. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced since French Flat win in 2022; close up in three of his four races for Venetia Williams and back from a long break when narrowly denied at Hereford (2m, good to soft) on latest, albeit by a 16-1 chance who hadn't shown much previously; thereabouts. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1-9 on the Flat in France (RPR 105) and showed ability in two starts over hurdles on a soft surface at Ludlow (2m) in February, his latest third of 12 catching the attention of the stewards; has looked highly strung, but he gives the strong impression he has a much bigger effort in him and this isn't a deep race. |

Hooded the last twice; went off a bit hot when beaten under 4l in a 2m novice at Ludlow (soft) the last time; needs to settle down and perhaps best watched for now. |

Improved upon sole bumper run when third on hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft) in December in a first-time hood (retained); he was no match for the front two but they look useful and this son of a Listed hurdle winner is open to further progress; respected. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Struggled over 1m at Southwell last month but relished the step back up in trip when winning at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still fairly treated on his old form off this 3lb higher mark and has claims. |
100/30 |

1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton. |

0-5 over hurdles and absent since June but shaped well before fading into third in C&D (good) maiden on that latest outing and could plausibly still have a bigger run in him on this handicap return. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Promising hurdles debut when fourth of nine at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in February, but has regressed badly in three starts since including on his return/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) in September; hood now added, but still has plenty to prove. |

No match for comfortable winner when second of five on stable/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; reportedly made respiratory noise) in June but that was his first run for 462 days and he now has a tongue-tie fitted; improvement possible. |
