7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Did well in bumpers and comfortably off the mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good); this is tougher than that winnable race but he's well related and entitled to improve plenty more with racing. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made a winning debut in a Worcester bumper in September and ran with credit when runner-up in similar events at Sedgefield and Chepstow; sure to have been well-schooled and should take plenty of beating on this first start over hurdles. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Worcester (good to soft) in September; found one too good when 8-11 under 7lb claimer for a six-runner race at Sedgefield (soft) in December but still brings potential and has joined major owners. |

Showed up well until fading from two out on the second of two starts over hurdles; holds place claims. |

3rd 5 |
5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Weakened when well beaten on hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month; however, runner-up in a bumper at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October and is not ruled out each-way now back down in trip. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Nicely bred gelding who confirmed last spring's bumper promise when finishing a 2.5l second at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October, shaping as though he'd be suited by this step up in trip now turning his attention to hurdles; contender. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Almost a year off before this March; has not matched earlier promise in this year's five races, switched to handicapping for last three; appeared over C&D last two and made most when connections turned to blinkers last time but his third of ten that day was a well-beaten one; now tries a visor. |
25/1 |

3rd 4 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Has struggled to recapture his earlier promise since returning from almost a year off in March and has made little impact in two handicap starts this summer, most recently when pulled up over C&D three weeks ago; may be capable of better but first-time blinkers need to prove a positive addition. |

Well held in a couple of bumpers and two runs over hurdles; makes belated AW/Flat debut and best watched. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Well held in two bumpers for Michael Keady towards end of last year and also when reappearing in Uttoxeter maiden hurdle (2m good) for new stable this month. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Down the field in a couple of bumpers for Michael Keady at the end of last year; this looks to be a tall order on his hurdles/stable debut. |
