23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won on stable debut at Fakenham (2m4f, good to soft) in January and bounced back from heavy-ground flop on handicap debut at Hereford when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; shaped last time as though this shorter trip would help and trainer has a good record in this race. |

Clear promise in both hurdle starts for Lorna Fowler in Ireland prior to £54,000 sale; won a Fakenham maiden (2m4f, good to soft) on stable debut in January but he flopped on his handicap debut at Hereford last month; still early days but that was a laboured effort last time and he needs to bounce back at this new trip. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Joined Willie Mullins for 95,000euros after winning a 3m point and 2m3f bumper at Cork; wasn't overly troubled to defy a penalty on yard debut at Catterick (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and he posted a useful RPR in the process; every chance of making a winning start over hurdles. |

3rd 5 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Bumper scorer in Ireland; has something to find on his form for new yard, most recently third at Fakenham (2m4f); however, this combination of new trip, first-time visor and assistance of Sean Bowen (up for first time) may prompt improvement. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |

All downhill since winning a Leopardstown bumper on his debut in March of last year; James Owen has yet to find the key to him and he was beaten off a modest mark last time. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Well bred gelding won a Leopardstown bumper on debut but subsequently struggled in a listed bumper at Limerick; pulled up on first run over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, gd-yld) on return from a break; a bit to prove now. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
The winner of two bumpers but beaten on both starts over hurdles (tailed off latest) and only last week she was a remote last of four in a 1m2f novice on the AW. |
80/1 |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Dual bumper winner last year and showed promise in the first of her two starts over hurdles; pedigree doesn't suggest this trip in a small field on her Flat debut is likely to suit, though. |
50/1 |

4th 7 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two bumper wins on good ground and made a respectable start over hurdles when third in a small field at Plumpton (2m4f); highly likely that she'll need more here, however. |

10st 5lb |
In excellent hands but he's yet to show any form of note, pulled up in 2m Southwell novice last month; significantly more is required on his first go in handicap company. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Modest form in two bumpers for Paul Webber; no improvement in two 2m4f hurdle runs at Fakenham for this yard; needs to improve for drop in trip. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |

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. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden point winner in 2024; showed no significant promise in maiden hurdles this season (2m-2m4f; refused to race on one occasion) and is 14lb out of the weights for this handicap debut; needs combination of longer trip and new tongue-tie to enable significant improvement. |
