5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Absent for over two years after his winning Irish point debut in May 2023 and probably didn't achieve a huge amount when third of five on last month's rules debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good) but that recent outing might have brought him on and he has possibilities here. |

7th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Narrow winner of an Irish point and the runner-up has won over hurdles and fences for Lucinda Russell; absent for two years and makes rules debut in a tongue-tie following wind surgery; likely contender nonetheless. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
His best effort in five handicaps was the 9l seventh two runs ago at Wincanton (2m4f, good); unconvincing, especially given his subsequent run at Ffos Las; 1lb out of the weights. |
10/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Still to get his head in front and he came in a never-dangerous seventh in 2m4f Wincanton handicap last month; others appeal more. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten in all three handicaps (2m4f-3m2f, good to soft-heavy); could plausibly be seen in a better light on today's faster ground but it takes a leap of faith to support him. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Three 1m4f wins on the Flat for Ed Walker; made a winning debut for Tim Vaughan over hurdles last summer but two subsequent runs (wind op before latest) haven't been so good; not sure what to expect back on the Flat. |
10/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play. |
5/2 |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Useful Flat racer who was creditable second of 14 at Cork (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut for Joseph O'Brien in November; became rather disappointing for that stable afterwards and was sold for 10,000gns in March but makes debut for Tim Vaughan in a modest race. |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Came second in a good-ground bumper for Gary Brown in summer 2023 and was not disgraced in a heavy-ground novice hurdle in December 2024 but this year's two point runs for Myles Osborne were very underwhelming; now with another new trainer for this rules return. |

Too free after an absence on her hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) and didn't shape too badly in the circumstances; had shown promise in points and a bumper. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has shown little in bumpers and over hurdles, with jumping an issue; going right handed may help (jumped that way back in a maiden last time) but unconvincing overall; first run beyond 2m5f. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has shown little in bumpers and over hurdles so far and she had jumping issues on handicap debut at Fontwell (unseated at fourth) last week; still early days but has a lot to find back in a maiden and can only be watched; cheekpieces added. |
25/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has shown little in bumpers and over hurdles so far; she drops back in trip on handicap debut and needs to show improvement. |
