23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Allowed too much rope in winning his sole bumper attempt but was eventually swallowed up, having again established a clear lead, in latest hurdles start (1m7f); style of racing aside, holds a leading chance on peak figures; this track seems likely to suit. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a farcical five-runner bumper at Ascot in November; first-time hood when running moderately over hurdles at Newbury the following month but did better with that aid removed when an admittedly well-held second at Huntingdon (2m, soft) last month; winner was set to run a big race until falling in Grade 2 on Saturday and this one's best days are ahead of him; player. |

11st 8lb |
Form of November's Ascot bumper win needs treating with caution (rider gifted the softest of leads), and have to hope his high head carriage on hurdling debut was owed to either greenness or a resentment of the now-removed hood; present attainment level thus still unclear. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Landed bumper around here last October but has cut little ice in his two starts over hurdles; this looks easier but he needs to start producing. |
8/1 |

4th 1 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Warwick bumper winner on good ground and was then best of the rest behind a runaway winner when penalised at Ascot; 5-1 for hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f) and reportedly bled from the nose after pulling up; retains potential but this is no easy race in which to bounce back. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won a bumper at Warwick (2m, good) in October on second start and 11l second of five under penalty at Ascot (1m7f, good) next time, when the winner was gifted a clear lead; brings potential to this first hurdle start; player. |

21st May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Won good-ground bumper at Worcester on debut last September; however, down the field at big odds at Southwell (1m3f/1m4f, AW) on his first two Flat starts and a transformation is needed. |
100/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Landed a bumper at Worcester on his racecourse debut last September; well-held on first Flat start here (1m3f; 66-1) in November; has his work cut out in this company. |
100/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Ran on well to prevail by a length at Worcester (good; 28-1) but now heads to a top track burdened with a penalty; the second has also been well held since back at Worcester. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Always behind in his last two qualifying races but shaped with significant promise before last-flight mishap on hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m, good) in November and remains open to improvement on this handicap debut. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Stayed on well to go close in his second Irish point (3m, good to yielding); since purchased by former jockey Paddy Brennan who has been recruiting well; respected. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-6 over hurdles but put in good front-running shift when third at Fakenham (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is open to more improvement over this longer trip. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unplaced all five hurdling starts but was given a lot to do before keeping on steadily for fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, good) a fortnight ago; remains open to improvement and is one to watch closely in the betting; tongue-tie added. |
5/1 |
|
5th 13 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Did not get seriously competitive in four 2m novice hurdles, although attracted the stewards' attention when making steady late headway on one occasion; up in trip for handicap debut; worth a glance in the betting. |
