17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Won maiden hurdle here (2m, soft) in January and back on the scoresheet in this hood on his last two starts, most recently on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); this progressive 6yo did it nicely last time and a 5lb rise may not stop him this afternoon. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt at Ayr (2m, soft) in January and improved again when returning to winning ways at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) recently having been upped in trip in a first-time hood (retained); unexposed at this distance and he's respected on handicap debut. |

29,000euros foal, 60,000euros 3yo; second foal; dam bumper winner (RPR 98), half-sister to useful 2m-2m5f hurdle winner Midnight Tour; has had wind surgery prior to today's debut; respected for trainer who has healthy strike-rate in bumpers, particularly here. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has regressed since chasing home a class act on hurdle debut at Sedgefield and finished weakly over 3m at Haydock last time after a wind operation; others safer. |
12/1 |

5th 7 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fair effort on hurdles debut when second at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December but it's been downhill since, including when pulled up in this headgear combination last time; reported to have made a respiratory noise that day so maybe subsequent wind surgery will help; handicap debut. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Form dipped last time (kept to 2m4f) but gave the impression he may well improve for this combination of longer trip and fitting of headgear (tongue-tie also added); has shown consistent promise (point/bumper/hurdle) otherwise; possibilities. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Winner of a C&D novice hurdle in September (good to soft); mainly fair form since, although only third of four at 1-2 in a Newcastle handicap last time (2m1f, good to soft); tongue-tie now tried; each-way chance. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Made all to win novice at Perth (2m, good to soft) in September and resumed his progression when second over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; leading claims for yard in a rich vein of form. |
9/4 |

2nd 8 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
In two 2m novices he won at Perth before a rallying third at Ayr; handicap debut was underwhelming but that was over 2m4f and perhaps this is his trip. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Kingston Hill mare has shown some promise in a pair of Ayr bumpers in 2025, coming in fifth of ten on the latter occasion; cheekpieces go on now and she's not totally dismissed with Brian Hughes up. |
8/1 |

5th 10 |
8th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Improvement needed on second start but her debut seventh over C&D (soft) in January wasn't without promise and she was well backed into 16-1; her half-brother Corrieben Reiver was useful for the same stable and won a bumper on his second start; might not be far away. |

11st 12lb |
Twice well beaten (2m1f/2m) since fairly encouraging seasonal/hurdle debut over C&D (soft) in November but moves back up in trip for this handicap debut and remains unexposed. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Well beaten in sole bumper and same story when big odds for first two hurdle starts; dramatic improvement needed now in a tongue-tie. |

70,000euros 3yo; fourth foal; half-brother to French 2m1f-2m3f hurdle/chase winner Irish Chanel; dam French bumper and jumps winner; trainer saddled an impressive bumper newcomer here recently; interesting on debut. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Took a step forward in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) when third at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago on her handicap hurdle debut; finished third in her sole point and her dam was a useful chaser, so this very lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer now switched to fences. |

3rd 3 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
It's been a struggle in novice races but she now goes into a handicap with a tongue-tie fitted and over a much longer trip that could benefit according to her pedigree; would merit greater attention if at all strong in the betting. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Remains winless and he has been well below form in handicaps at Perth (2m4f) and Hexham (2m) this spring since undergoing wind surgery; others appeal more. |
16/1 |

4th 3 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ordinary form in bumpers; has improved since going hurdling, best run when third in a Carlisle novice in October (2m1f, good); bit disappointing this year, including on handicap debut on first run after a second wind op last time (2m4f, good); bit to prove now. |
12/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Disappointing in maiden hurdles on his last two outings but showed a bit of promise in similar races prior to that and has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut; also refitted with the tongue-tie he wore in bumpers. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed in bumpers on his first two starts but he's yet to really threaten in this sphere; dropped 2lb since finishing down the field over C&D on his handicap debut 83 days ago and now has cheekpieces applied. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (9) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Record of 0-3 in bumpers and 0-3 on Flat but has bits of encouraging form; may show progress now handicapping, albeit it's needed to defy his opening mark. |

Soundly beaten third on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, good to yielding) last May; sold for £13,000 shortly after; others have stronger point form and he may be best watched on bumper debut, for which he wears a hood. |
