24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Some promise in brief Flat career but he hasn't shown much in his four runs over hurdles; had wind surgery before penultimate start. |

Showed promise on the Flat for Karl Burke, but hasn't shown much in three runs over hurdles, including on first run after wind surgery last time; this better ground may suit but plenty to prove. |

16th Jul 2025 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well held at big prices in a bumper, a hurdle and three starts on the Flat (good to firm); much better is needed on handicap debut. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

Well held at huge prices in a bumper, a hurdle and two starts on the Flat (1m4f, good to firm); hard to fancy. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled at 150-1 on bumper debut in Ireland in December 2023; pulled up in Bangor maiden hurdle (2m, good) on comeback last month and was tailed off when switched to the Flat at Doncaster (1m4f novice) on Sunday; can only be watched. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Unusual profile, having been pulled up in a Tabley point-to-point last May before reappearing with three quick qualifying runs on the Flat (1m-1m4f, good/good to firm) this summer in cheekpieces; worth putting on market watch now up in trip for handicap debut. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back to winning ways in 2m course handicap (good to firm) under Mason Paetel in June, with reopposing Dereham 5l back in third; good third of 12 in competitive Market Rasen handicap hurdle (extended 2m4f, good) since; likely to go well back on the Flat. |

3rd 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who was second in a Cheltenham handicap last October on final jumps run; 2lb lower now and he was a recent 2m winner at Newmarket; should go well. |
11/2 |

1st 3 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time hurdles winner whose first Flat success came on Southwell AW (1m6f) in January; has kept his form pretty well, including over 2m, and is considered seriously in this small field despite having had just two races (2025) on Flat turf. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won five-runner race here (upped to 2m, good) in May and made most when fifth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW); no room over 1f out at Newbury two weeks ago but the speed with which he dropped out when jockey gave up was still rather disconcerting; place chance if bouncing back. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive on AW last autumn and he's been a bit better this season too; won five-runner race at Goodwood (upped to 2m, good) in May and, having been mid-division at Royal Ascot (2m4f), made most when fifth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW); in the mix. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles but that could change now he's into handicap company; market confidence would be welcomed. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Has failed to shine in two attempts over hurdles and may be more interesting in handicaps shortly; otherwise retains potential judged on Flat record (2-4; best RPR 85). |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Dual novice winner who was second (no match for the winner) in a C&D Racing League handicap before not appearing to stay 1m6f at Haydock (Class 2); remains of interest. |
4/1 |

4 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in July on second start and followed up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); no match for Circus Of Rome on handicap debut at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) recently but did well to beat the remainder and is 9lb better off with the winner this afternoon; could be suited by the step up to 1m6f and he's one to consider. |
11/2 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Made debut in June and won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) on second start before following up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); this well-bred Frankel colt has potential off his opening mark; player on AW debut. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Just six races; came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; 8lb higher today) this May; the latter promised much, which was singularly unfulfilled when hot favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; virtually first off the bridle that day but a return to 1m6f on softer ground today ensures that he remains of major interest. |
7/1 |

7th 5 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made debut in June 2025 and has had just five races (beaten a neck on good to firm on second start); came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; Plage De Havre third) on reappearance this May; up 8lb but retains significant potential. |
6/4 |

1st 10 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Made his debut only last June and has had just four races; long odds-on for 1m4f novice win in August and best form when second of six to Sing Us A Song on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, again good to soft; came from the back) in September; probably still a work in progress at that stage and he starts 2026 (for in-form yard) with significant potential. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten over hurdles last time; has taken Flat form to a new level since switched to AW, finishing second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last September then going one better at Chelmsford (2m) in January; open to further progress back in this sphere, provided he takes to new headgear. |
11/4 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Back from a break to get off the mark on the Flat last month (sixth attempt), albeit in a low-grade 2m handicap on the AW; has the stamina for hurdling and Sean Bowen is booked, but others are still preferred. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of five on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces, kept since) in August but posted an improved effort when second at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) 145 days ago, shaping as if this longer trip would suit; off since but needs a second look. |
