3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner and 126-rated hurdler, winning 2m6f Downpatrick maiden and 2m4f Perth novice last year; below form when last seen in October, but respected on chase bow. |

11st 8lb |
Won a good-ground Downpatrick bumper by 15l in May; ran to a useful level when following up there on hurdling debut despite a less-than-fluent round of jumping; did not have much to beat at Perth; fell short when raised in class at Galway; handicap second at Listowel shows he can be competitive here. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Looked promising in good-ground bumpers in summer 2023, winning here and at Stratford; makes hurdling debut after 673-day absence but solid market support will heighten interest. |

Brother to useful jumper Delusionofgrandeur; led close home to win good-ground Irish point in May, his fifth start; the second from that race was placed in a recent Southwell bumper; considered each-way on rules debut. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
2-2 in handicaps, both of those wins coming at Perth (2m4f, good/good to soft); up 10lb since the latest success last month and takes on classier opposition today but he did it nicely and is clearly progressive. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who fended off Summergrounds to make winning handicap debut over C&D (2m4f, good) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; went up 6lb for that narrow success but further progress is possible. |

0-4 in points; well beaten over C&D when 150-1 for recent rules debut; cannot be recommended. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-4 in points; rallied for modest third at Cothelstone (good to firm) in May but the comfortable winner of that race has a lowly rating under rules; can only be watched on this rules debut. |

0-7; well beaten on his last three starts, all here, the latest on his handicap debut when tried over 3m; plenty to prove. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
This is her handicap debut and a major step up in trip, but there have been signs of only a little ability; tongue tied on latest start and a hood (tried four starts back, pulled up) is reinstated. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Signs of only a little ability so far and will need to find significant improvement for the addition of a tongue-tie. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed significant ability on the Flat and over hurdles for Jim Bolger in Ireland but started off for current stable with two disappointing hurdle runs last summer (2m/2m4f; had wind operation afterwards); returns from 343-day absence with tongue-tie refitted. |
25/1 |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Showed significant ability on the Flat and over hurdles for Jim Bolger in Ireland but last month's stable debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft) was rather disappointing; needs to take a good step forward over this new trip. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Fourth foal; half-brother to bumper/fair hurdle winner Lady Temperance; dam French 1m2f winner (RPR 62); seems very unlikely to reach the standard required on debut. |
