8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Superbly bred, being a half-brother to Douvan and Jonbon; not in their league but doubled his career tally with Southwell maiden success (2m, good to soft) most recently and looks likely to progress further; respected. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Perth bumper winner in April (2m, good to soft; Joeybottles 3.5l back in third); the better of two runs over hurdles when second at Ayr (2m, soft; 5-6) last time on first run after wind op; obvious contender. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Clear runner-up behind useful rivals on two of his five hurdling starts; unseated rider when short-odds favourite last time but has a big role to play if all goes well on this first venture beyond 2m. |
6/4 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Best hurdles efforts when clear second at Sandown (behind useful opponent) in November and over C&D (behind main market rival) latest start, both on good to soft ground; the form pick. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well in a bumper here last April on debut (good to soft) and, having had wind surgery, he made a winning handicap debut at 9-2 at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; did it easily and a 10lb rise may not stop him. |

1st 7 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
All runs on good to soft or soft; third in a bumper and has been showing enough to believe he'll pay his way in handicaps, last time finishing just ahead of Titanium Ring at Ludlow; likely contender after wind surgery. |
100/30 |
|
5th 4 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
All runs on good to soft; third in a Perth bumper and left his first run over hurdles behind when fourth in a 2m maiden at Southwell (fitted in a first-time tongue-tie); doesn't have compelling claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Showed improved form on his handicap debut when a short-head second to a previous winner at Bangor last time (2m3f, good); chance on that run. |

2nd 7 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Hasn't looked devoid of ability in bumpers or over hurdles and could take a step forward now into handicaps. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle runs for previous stable but, following a break, made a pretty good start to chasing career and finished ahead of Expert Analysis when second of four at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; lost out by only a neck when second again at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) on Saturday and will have strong claims if he makes a quick reappearance. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced gelding who left former yard for £5,500; only four ran when second on chase debut at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) but ran well and didn't go unbacked. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 |
5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts for Billy Aprahamian, the latest in May (sold for £5,500 soon afterwards); needs significant improvement on this stable/chase debut but good market support will make him of interest. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
1m4f Flat winner in France last August when trained by David Menuisier but it's hard to get excited by his efforts on the Flat or over hurdles for current yard, the latest over hurdles at Uttoxeter 13 days ago; best watched unless the betting speaks in his favour. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
1m4f Flat winner in France last August when trained by David Menuisier; 80-1 fifth of 13 to Uncle Remus over C&D (good) 19 days ago was easily the closest finish from his five runs over hurdles; needs to build markedly on that but his old Flat ability is not yet forgotten. |
8/1 |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
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 |
11st 7lb |
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 |

Showed nothing in two bumpers for Paul Webber and a similar tale on stable/hurdle debut here last month, despite being only 7-2; lots to prove. |
