23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Bumper winner; won a 1m4f Wolverhampton maiden in December on his second Flat start; no improvement for handicapping on his last two starts (cheekpieces added latest); still has low mileage but improvement is required. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who gained his wins in a bumper and a 1m4f AW maiden; disappointed when dropped to 1m2f for last month's handicap debut and needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces here. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

With John McConnell when fourth at Perth and second at Sedgefield (again on good ground), probably performing to a similar level; likely to need more here. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
From Irish stable with 8-27 (30%) strike-rate in British bumpers during last five seasons; dropped to fourth after making the running at Perth (good) last month but that was still a promising debut, and the new tongue-tie may aid his finishing effort here. |

First foal from a useful 2m-2m4f hurdle winner for these connections; made disappointing debut when well-held fifth over C&D (good) in March and needs to take a big step forward. |
