17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won off this mark on his chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and the returning cheekpieces might help, but he's been tailed off on his last three chase starts and arrives with something to prove. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Winning chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May but progress stalled when beaten 53l at Market Rasen in July; shaped well when runner-up back over hurdles here (2m1f, good to firm) 11 days ago and resumes over fences in a first-time visor; has more to offer in this sphere. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a bright start to his chasing career when scoring at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and bettered that when third off 5lb higher at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; reverts to hurdles after a disappointing run at Market Rasen last time but not out of this if bouncing back. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Multiple winner on turf/AW but his form has dipped since a July double over 7f on good to firm; others are preferred . |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Went up the weights for back-to-back 7f wins on turf in July and held since despite Toby Moore claiming his allowance; Billy Loughnane takes over but could be vulnerable off current mark. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bought for £7,500 out of Olly Murphy's yard in July; resumes hurdling off the mark of his 3l Ffos Las second in the spring (2m, good), but signs of temperament since then over jumps and on the Flat. |
8/1 |

4th 5 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on AW for Marco Botti; scored over hurdles last September; all but refused to race when trailing in last of four at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) on Monday; one to have serious reservations about at present. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has been running well over hurdles and this dual AW winner hasn't had many Flat chances on turf (0-3); on a competitive mark and Hugh Horgan takes off 5lb. |

1st 3 (5) |
15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has had more success over hurdles but got off the mark on the Flat in a 1m3f Kempton AW handicap this February; comparable form when third at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in April on latest Flat start but he's now 0-14 on Flat turf and has been absent since May. |
5/2 |
|
11th 8 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
0-14 on Flat turf and a beaten favourite at Musselburgh two weeks ago; his hurdles record (2-7) is better but he had no obvious excuse when fifth to Indemnity at Plumpton (33-1) last month; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won on Kempton AW (1m3f; not proven over this far) in February and latest start was up with his best hurdles form; 0-13 on Flat turf but that includes five seconds. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden and isn't particularly solid on his form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; first-time blinkers need to make a difference. |

5th 8 |
23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
15-race maiden under rules but didn't shape without promise when sixth of 11 finishers on hurdling debut at Stratford (2m, good) 17 days ago; needs to improve but holds place claims. |
16/1 |
|
7 |
6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
14-race maiden who showed some useful form as a 2yo and 3yo in Ireland but has become disappointing; has the stamina for hurdling but still makes only limited appeal on debut over jumps. |

Runner-up in an Irish bumper and again in his two runs over hurdles; latest Stratford conqueror isn't a bad sort and this 5yo brings potential into handicaps after a break. |
5/2 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Appeared to display improvement when second of ten in good-ground Down Royal bumper for Gordon Elliott in May, his third run; now with new stable for hurdling career; market may guide. |

Back on track to some extent when runner-up at Hereford (2m3f) in first-time cheekpieces, which are retained, albeit beaten 21l; more is needed again. |

2nd 6 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Only modest form shown thus far and he had breathing surgery before coming in a remote fourth of nine in 2m1f Exeter handicap 25 days ago; cheekpieces are now tried. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Opened hurdling account with ready success in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester (2m, good) in July and ran well in defeat over same C&D this month; not yet fully exposed; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won a bumper for Henry Daly and doubled his tally over C&D in July when strong late on in first-time cheekpieces; went up 7lb but only a 5yo with low mileage on the clock; respected. |
7/4 |

1st 4 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Yet to win over hurdles and hasn't kicked on from his promising second at Taunton (2m, good) on his handicap debut in March; first-time cheekpieces need to have a significant impact. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran as though something was amiss on last of six Flat starts for Owen Burrows, but some of his form in that sphere was very promising and he'll be fine stamina-wise over hurdles for new stable; interesting to see how well he takes to this game. |
10/1 |

12th 7 (11) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Brother to Arc winner Waldgeist; this 4yo, contrastingly, is a five-race maiden but he's placed on AW over 1m6f and 1m4f in his two handicaps and this longer trip is plausible; sole turf start was debut last August (tailed off on heavy); cheekpieces go on. |

Showed some ability remained when fifth at Chester in June (7.6f, good) but well held Flat and hurdles since; tailed off in the faces of a stiff task at Chester on Saturday. |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

3rd 6 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Has shown ability over hurdles but she's struggled in her last three runs including when pulled up in a handicap at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last month; overall record is now 0-9 and others are more convincing. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Never travelling when pulled up at Hereford last month, and no more encouragement returned to novice company since; new career-low mark still insufficiently tempting. |
