4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed in big-field Irish bumper in September; unable to get seriously competitive in three maiden/novice hurdles for new stable this year but there was some promise at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last time, and he should have more improvement to come in handicaps. |
7/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |

Definite promise in two Irish bumpers but nothing like so good in a bumper and two hurdle runs for current yard. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Offered little in a pair of bumpers and it's been a similar story in 2m novice hurdles at Newcastle and Kelso this year; significantly more is required from this son of Elusive Pimpernel. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
No impact in either bumper (soft/good to soft) and tailed off at 150-1 on last month's hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft). |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-11 over hurdles and prone to clumsy jumping; belied 33-1 odds when second at Perth (2m, good) last month and didn't run badly over 2m4f there 16 days ago but others look less risky. |
12/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Ran one of his best races since going handicapping when second to Betteryouthanme (who's now 4lb worse off for just over 1l) over 2m at Hexham last time (good; 33-1); has run creditably at this trip; a possible. |
8/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Placed off 5lb higher at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April but has very mixed record over hurdles and is sometimes a clumsy jumper; safely held on last two outings; others look much safer. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Two bumpers wins in late 2023 (good to soft/soft) and mid-division in the Champion Bumper later that season; then absent until December 2025, when pulled up on hurdle debut; however, he was sent off favourite and may have needed that outing; wears first-time cheekpieces; not written off. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Edged home at Kelso (good to soft) and Aintree (soft) before coming up short in a Listed race won by Royal Infantry on heavy ground at Newbury; perhaps a future flagbearer for the yard but an unlikely winner of this. |
100/1 |
Verdict
With his course form (on similar ground last time) setting the standard, this looks a good opportunity for LOULOU MADRIK. Johnny Moonshine, Finbarr and Malayalam are feared in that order of preference, though a back-to-form Union Avenue would make them all go.[Alistair Jones]
