14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins in maiden/novice company (2m and 2m3f) but not far away in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December and soft ground was a query when pulled up in that grade since; below market expectations in his sole handicap (2m) but capable of better back at 2m5f. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won a Southwell bumper and Market Rasen maiden (2m2f) on good ground, fairly easily on both occasions; fell at Uttoxeter in June and was a well-held second at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month, but that was behind a useful rival and she should benefit from that run; looks interesting back in calmer waters and still has potential for top yard. |

11st 0lb |
Won a Southwell bumper and Market Rasen maiden (2m2f) on good ground, fairly easily on both occasions; in with every chance when falling three out at Uttoxeter (2m4f); going the right way for her top team. |

11st 1lb |
Both wins on good ground, in a Southwell bumper and Market Rasen maiden (2m2f) in which she wasn't unduly troubled; this is tougher but she's heading in the right direction for top connections. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 over hurdles and has struggled a little with consistency in the past, with his better efforts coming over further; however, he went close off a similar mark at Hereford (2m3f, good) in November and, despite the drop back in trip and returning from a break, he still warrants respect. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-11 over hurdles; runner-up on consecutive 2m4f starts this summer but was pulled up (albeit in a competitive series final) last time and is not the most obvious answer to this competitive race. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Close second to Service Minimum over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month but a lesser effort behind Intosomethinggood followed three weeks ago and he's now 0-10 over hurdles. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won small-field Ludlow novice (2m5f, good) in the autumn and returned from layoff with two pretty good handicap runs this summer; only faded out of contention on run-in when fourth of 13 at Worcester (2m4f, good) 12 days ago and can go well again; raced mainly on good ground. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
2m5f novice winner in October; made handicap debut at Stratford last month (2m2f, good to firm) and ran as though that race was needed after a break of 252 days; better expected. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed improvement in the autumn when last seen, winning at Luldlow (2m5f) then running well under a penalty at Huntingdon (2m3f), both times under James Bowen; may do better still; interesting handicap debutante. |
