3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form. |
10/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out. |
10/1 |

5th 2 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who battled well to pip Don Virginia in small field at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; ought to run his race again but others have more compelling form. |
12/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner who scored on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and came second on both subsequent hurdling starts (2m5f/2m; form well advertised by the two winners since); not at best when back on the Flat last month but a major player. |
6/4 |

6 (5) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won two handicaps (1m6f/2m) on the Flat last season and he's done well switched to hurdling for new yard since May including a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good); still has potential as a stayer on the Flat and he's in the mix back in this sphere. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Out of a half-sister to high-class Irish jumper Sharjah; made quite promising debut when third of five in good-ground Market Rasen bumper in June but suffered a heavy defeat last month (stopped quickly) and is probably best watched on this hurdling debut; hooded for first time. |
12/1 |

8th 1 |
24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
First foal; dam unplaced on the Flat but half-sister to high-class Irish jumper Sharjah and smart French Flat-racer Sahawar; kept on for very respectable third behind two previous winners at Market Rasen (good) last month; might be the answer. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
First foal; dam unplaced on the Flat but half-sister to high-class Irish jumper Sharjah and smart French Flat-racer Sahawar; market reference recommended. |
