23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles when based in Ireland and well held in selling handicap for new stable last month; makes chasing debut with a lot to prove. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles when trained in Ireland; well down the field in Clonmel handicap (2m1f, good to yielding) on latest outing in June and needs to have benefited from subsequent change of stable; hood refitted. |

Best hurdle run when fifth in a 2m Thurles maiden in March; well below that level over further at this track twice since; has to bounce back. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful chase strike-rate, winning three of six completions (at up to about 2m3f; good to soft and good) since October; well below best over C&D latest but overall form suggests he could soon put that behind him. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
3-7 over fences and remains in form following his second at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 13 days ago; may not have finished progressing yet and entitled to be on the shortlist. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-6 over fences; returned from break with two good-ground wins last month, the latter gained in fairly good style over C&D; unseated rider mid-race here recently but has strong claims if all goes to plan this time. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Not beaten far at Market Rasen in July (first-time visor) and he was keeping on in second when brought down at the last here (2m2f, good to soft) in October; heavy defeat when last seen in December but it's still fairly early days and he's not dismissed on this return. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |

0-4 over fences but posted a couple of respectable efforts in new visor this summer (2m1f/2m) and ran considerably better than eventual 31l defeat suggests at Stratford (2m3f, good) this month; drops back in trip here; place claims. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |
5/1 |

2nd 10 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ready win when beating seven others at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) on his second start chasing and looked set to defy a penalty when coming down at the last over C&D (good to soft) in October; jumping has been a bit of an issue since and he was narrowly in front when again coming down at the final fence back at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) one month ago; hood joins his regular tongue-tie. |
2/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won readily by 6l here (2m3f, good) in October and was unlucky not to follow up at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) soon afterwards; managed only fourth over C&D on last two appearances but current mark is workable if this race is run to suit his usual patient tactics. |
6/4 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a novice handicap over 2m3f here in October (good); fair runs on last two starts, notably when second to a subsequent winner over 2m at Huntingdon (good to soft; didn't jump too well); good track record and one with a chance. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Limited Flat maiden who also ran to a modest level in three races over hurdles; didn't get far on chase debut last month; best watched. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Modest Flat maiden; has shown some aptitude for hurdling this year but last month's fourth of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good) came in a very thin maiden; now bids to exploit 9lb weight-for-age allowance on chasing debut. |
14/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Modest form in his previous two maiden hurdles and made it 0-12 on the Flat when tailed off in a 1m3f seller at Goodwood four weeks ago (good to firm; 100-1); readily opposed. |

10st 2lb |
0-16 over hurdles; struggled on this month's chasing debut and refused to race at Market Rasen a few days later (race won by Grain Trade); hooded for first time here; 10lb wrong; cannot be recommended. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |

17-race maiden who has lost his way badly and has to compete from 5lb out of the weights. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest effort readily ignored (saddle slipped) but showed nothing on two previous starts for current connections; theoretical encouragement for this switch to fences as a nephew of Texas Jack and Drumconvis. |
