15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Killarney maiden hurdle winner (2m1f, good) in May last year who made an encouraging start for this stable when third in a Worcester novice in June, but disappointed on handicap debut following a break and hasn't been seen since a heavy fall in November; returns with something to prove. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Signed off in Ireland with maiden hurdle win at Killarney (2m1f, good) in May but managed only third when warm favourite for modest novice here (2m, good) on stable debut in June; needs a much better performance today. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

There's some substance to the maiden hurdle he won at Killarney a month ago (2m1f, good) before changing hands for £42,000; should be hard to beat provided he's settled in to his new surroundings. |

Triple-figure prices for all three starts, well behind in a bumper and again in sole completion over hurdles; trainer in great form but handicaps more appropriate for this one. |

9st 8lb |
Four AW wins in Ireland in 2024 (10.7f-1m4f), all in blinkers; modest hurdle form for Ben Pauling in 2025; makes his stable debut after 205 days off and he goes without headgear. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting. |

Placed in low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy earlier this year; beaten 20l over hurdles on yard debut and then unseated in his first chase; risky. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Placed in two low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy in February/March but was last of six when back over hurdles here (2m, good) for new stable last month and is not bred for chasing. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won over 1m on the Flat in Ireland in 2024, but Olly Murphy was unable to get a win out of him in five runs over hurdles and two on the Flat; sold for 5,500gns to join new yard last month; best watched on stable debut. |

11st 13lb |
Caused 66-1 shock in Worcester novice (2m, good to soft) in June but very little has gone to plan since; struggled in two recent handicaps (2m1f/2m) and is not bred to benefit from this big hike up in trip; too risky. |

Sole success was at Stratford (2m1f, good) last May and she's been out of sorts in her last seven starts; 5lb out of the weights this time and she has a lot to prove. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not the biggest and her form figures are uninspiring but there were hints of ability before unseating in Wincanton novice in January; subsequent efforts suggest that might have been a false dawn and she's out of the weights again. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Signs of promise prior to unseating in Wincanton novice (2m5f, heavy) in January but tailed off/pulled up on both runs since, most recently when 40-1 for handicap debut at Stratford (2m6f, soft). |

Juvenile bumper winner for previous stable, but has struggled over hurdles and beaten 21l+ in three starts, latterly in a hood (retained); makes handicap debut aided by Jamie Gambin's 10lb claim, but has plenty to prove and others make more obvious appeal. |
