21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has offered precious little in his qualifying races (2m-2m4f; 40-1 to 80-1) but he was second in an Irish point and headgear is added for this first handicap; trainers are respected (also run Mooserwirt), so needs a market check over this longer trip. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
No match for cosy winner when second of nine on Irish point debut in April (yielding ground) but that was still a promising introduction; sold for 50,000gns soon afterwards; market helpful on rules debut. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Came good at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in February, his seventh hurdle run, and probably bettered that performance when close second at Bangor (2m7f, good) last month; still unexposed as a stayer; respected. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
A 3l winner at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) to get off the mark over hurdles and he'd performed to a similar level before; up 6lb but Harry Atkins claims 7lb (3lb claimer employed last time) and this 6yo has only had seven races under rules. |
7/2 |

1st 8 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-6 over hurdles; arguably ran better than eventual 22l defeat suggests when fifth behind Jukebox Joker at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) last month but needs a better finishing effort. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Kept on for third on handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, soft) in February but was disappointing favourite when weakening fourth at Bangor (2m7f, good) last month and needs a better effort here. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who ran his best race yet on handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, soft) and he's given the impression that this could be more his trip; respected. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Point runner-up (3m, yielding) who has been unable to threaten across his three hurdle runs (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft/soft) but has shown ability and has far more realistic claims in this first handicap; not ruled out. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Ran away with a 2m2f handicap here last April; not quite so good since, including when well held back on the Flat at Ripon last month. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Arrives fit from hurdling and some of his best Flat form last year came in April, winning at Pontefract before second over C&D (both good). |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Nine-race maiden over hurdles but has placed form and he won six on the Flat; made a bright start over fences in January but didn't fancy it at Huntingdon and refused early; the cheekpieces are off but wouldn't be a surprise to see him run well. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Two good 3m runs at Uttoxeter this summer, winning on first occasion (good) and finishing second of 14 last time (good; first run after wind op); should go well if as effective here. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 12 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Came good under rules at 12th attempt with C&D success (good; clear second won next time out) in May but was pulled up when back here last month; had another wind op (his second) soon afterwards and is now tongue tied; not an easy one to predict. |
7/1 |
|
6 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Point winner who got off the mark at the third time of asking over fences over C&D (good) last month, finding plenty when challenged; there should be more to come. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won over 2m5f here on chase debut, but was disappointing on next three starts over fences (jumped badly right on third occasion); fair second back hurdling last time; questions to answer back over fences. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won chase debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; from 2lb lower) in April but has posted form figures of PUP since; it's difficult to know what to expect, but he does revert to hurdles at an appropriate level and has run well here (second and third) in the past. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Made a winning start over fences at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in April but has failed to complete twice since; needs to get back on track. |

Made the frame for the second time over fences when fourth of eight finishers at Bangor (3m, good) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); holds place claims. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Placed for first time under rules when clear second to a next-time-out winner at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) last month but was pulled up (bled from the nose) on latest outing; back up in trip with tongue-tie added here; not an easy one to predict. |

11st 13lb |
0-6 over hurdles but responded well to first-time cheekpieces and belied 33-1 odds when second of 13 at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month; leading contender over this longer trip if the new headgear continues to help. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 1 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nicely bred but hasn't raised his modest profile in two handicaps at about 3m the last twice; cheekpieces need to do something. |
12/1 |

9th 3 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Hard to make a solid case but the ground was soft when pulled up on his handicap debut at Doncaster where he was upped to 3m from 2m; also has questions to answer on this drier ground but this well-related 6yo could yet turn a corner. |

10th 7 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
May be seen in a better light on this switch to handicaps and he's unraced beyond 2m4f (third in a 3m point), but wouldn't be the percentage play. |
25/1 |
|
9th 6 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Placed in a point but he has offered little in a pair of maiden hurdles, beating just one rival in 2m4f Bangor maiden in November; significantly more is required. |
