31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fetched £260,000 after winning his Irish point but left Nicky Henderson for £45,000 last May after pulling up in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival; showed plenty of promise before then and he's still lightly raced; market could be informative ahead of this chase/handicap debut. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Fetched £260,000 after winning his Irish point; returning from a long absence when promoted to second in a Newbury novice and, in a new tongue-tie (retained), he was left clear at the final flight to win a Huntingdon maiden (2m4f, good to soft) by daylight; already looks as though he needs this sort of trip but wouldn't be the obvious answer on what he's shown to date. |

didn't always jump with fluency, pressed leader, pushed along 3 out, outpaced and 3 lengths down 2 out, rallied and challenging when left clear last |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't really progressed as expected from his competitive bumper runs and pulled up in his latest maiden after hanging left handed around Hereford; this track may be more to his liking and this is his first handicap in a new tongue-tie. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Fair form shown in bumpers and when a good second in 2m4f Huntingdon maiden hurdle last March; brought down at the first on his return in 2m3f Fontwell maiden in October and not ruled out back after another break. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two-time bumper winner who was runner-up in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester in May 2023; well below that form since returning from long absence in January, with his two handicap runs in April particularly disappointing, but the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye here. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has won two of her four handicaps and responded well for pressure to collect over C&D last month (good to soft); off only 2lb higher her claims are crystal clear, provided she's okay on soft. |
7/2 |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Only her second run in handicaps when collecting at Southwell (3m) but Catterick was a bit disappointing; could bounce back. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-3 in points and failed to raise his modest profile when 50-1 for handicap debut at Bangor (2m7f, good); no appeal for now. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
May be seen in a better light on this switch to handicaps and he's unraced beyond 2m4f (third in a 3m point), but wouldn't be the percentage play. |
25/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Placed in a point but he has offered little in a pair of maiden hurdles, beating just one rival in 2m4f Bangor maiden in November; significantly more is required. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won soft-ground bumper for Ben Pauling in February 2024; failed to complete on his last two runs over hurdles last term so it will be like starting over again on this first run back; still has potential and cannot dismiss. |
