21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won point and bumper in 2025 and added an easy hurdles success to his CV in 14-runner race at Hereford (2m, good to soft) last month; as things stand he still has a bit to find but he's getting better all the time. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made it third-time lucky in Irish points when beating four other finishers at Ballindenisk (3m, soft to heavy) in January; changed hands for £80,000 soon afterwards; dam was an 8.5f winner on the Flat; stable 12-103 (12%) in bumpers in past five seasons; market should be revealing. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Second in a bumper, third in a novice and beaten 12l into fourth on handicap debut over C&D a month ago when fitted in a hood; down 3lb and should be involved. |
7/2 |
|
4th 8 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Second in a bumper and third on hurdle debut at Hereford; keenness cost him on heavy ground at Taunton and the hood is an interesting addition for handicap debut. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up in the first of two bumpers and made an encouraging start over hurdles when running on for third of 14 at Hereford (2m, good to soft) 31 days ago; likely to improve. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Improved upon September's Worcester debut (2m, good to soft) when third there (2m, good) the following month; was due to contest a Cheltenham Listed race in November only be withdrawn on account of soft ground. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Half-brother to five winners who was sent off 100-30 for his debut over C&D (good to soft) last month, but faded to finish fifth of nine finishers; open to improvement but will probably need to. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 |
15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
15,000euros 3yo; half-brother to five winners including Magic Daze (smart 2m hurdle/chase), Magic Seven (bumper and 2m/2m4f hurdle) and Magic Day (2m3f hurdle); unraced dam out of half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Kicking King; nice pedigree and stable has plenty of success in bumpers. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Never figured in heavy-ground event won by a smart sort last time; consistent efforts in two bumpers and a novice hurdle otherwise but needs improvement to get off the mark; stable second string. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has made the frame in two bumpers and a Market Rasen novice hurdle (2m2f) for a consistent start to his career; however, has a lot to find on bare figures and yard holds a much stronger chance with Kadastral. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
With a top stable and showed significant promise when fourth in two autumn bumpers (good/good to soft); needs to improve here but has a future over jumps. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Showed a bit in his second bumper but still went off at 100-1 for a soft-ground maiden hurdle at Lingfield and finished well behind. |
66/1 |
|
13th 2 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Out of 2m6f/3m hurdle winner; well-held fifth at big prices in two bumpers but he shaped with some promise at Southwell (good to soft) last month; should have a future at this new discipline but it could be over longer trips later on. |
66/1 |
|
5th 1 |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Half-brother to 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Ten Past Midnight; dam 2m6f/3m hurdle winner, out of 7.4f-1m4f winning half-sister to 2m-3m1f chase winner Chatergold; stable 3-81 (4%) in bumpers in past five seasons; others are more likely. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Seemed well suited by the longer trip when gaining a breakthrough success in 3m2f Warwick handicap hurdle 24 days ago; not taken lightly despite a 2lb weights rise. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
He's raced eight times and has never come close to posing a serious threat; well beaten at 33-1 on recent handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good). |
9/1 |
|
7th 9 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
He's shown little across his seven starts but makes his handicap debut off a very lowly mark and his trainer's last two runners have won, so he's worth a second look. |

Close third, clear of remainder, at Market Rasen (2m, soft) last time on handicap debut; may build on that effort and take another step forward; enters calculations up just 1lb. |

3rd 6 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Unable to land a significant blow in his three qualifying races, albeit not beaten that far when seventh at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; improvement possible but needed on handicap debut. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

18-1 and green when last of eight in Worcester bumper on her debut in October; lots more is needed now going hurdling. |
