Four-time chase winner but nothing positive to report over fences or hurdles in his last four races. |

Won over fences here (3m2f, good) for Barry Brennan last summer and has posted a couple of good efforts in that sphere this season; reverts to hurdling off lower mark for new stable here; could have a say. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish pointer; benefited from the step up to this trip when winning by 8l here in early June and a slow pace back over hurdles found him out three weeks ago, though didn't run badly; 8lb higher than for both those runs but still has higher hopes than some in here. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
1-11 in Irish points; sold to join current yard for £2,000 in March and finished last of six on British debut, back over hurdles, at Taunton (2m3f, good; 125-1) in April; an altogether different proposition when stepped up in trip over fences when skating up here (3m2f, good; 28-1) nine days ago in cheekpieces (retained); has the same mark today back over hurdles and is a fascinating contender. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Record of only 1-11 in points and is far from solid on rules form (three attempts); however, may show the benefit of switching to handicap level off a modest mark. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Maiden under rules in Ireland (0-3 as a chaser) but he had a few wins and places to his name in 25 point starts; the latest wasn't his best but he still went and joined Dan Skelton for £8,000; that alone heightens interest in him. |

Had decent form in points but his track form has been pretty dismal; blinkers. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 140y |
11st 6lb |
Absent 297 days; 0-5 over hurdles but all his Rules runs have come on ground with soft or heavy in the description; was placed in a point-to-point on good and his two winning half-brothers both scored on a sound surface so the better ground here may spark some improvement. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Sole success came in a 3m handicap chase on good ground at Perth last August when 6lb lower; he can cope with this mark but needs a return to form on his stable debut. |
10/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A chase at Perth (3m, good) last August off 5lb lower was his only win from 17 starts; left Ella Pickard before pulled up here 13 days ago on debut for new stable, but it's notable that he started 13-8 favourite in that chase; now he's back hurdling for first time since 2022. |
7/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Got off the mark at Perth (3m, good) last August off 9lb lower mark when trained by Ella Pickard; two decent efforts when placed subsequently but was pulled up at Hexham in October when last seen; makes stable debut and worth a look in the betting. |

Good and bad in five runs for current yard, all of which were at Fontwell and Fakenham; soft ground was probably against him last time and he stays well. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten over hurdes here on last month's stable debut but kept on well for clear second behind Of Corse I Can over C&D (good) when back over fences three weeks ago and will be suited by the forecast slower ground today; respected. |
9/2 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

In a new visor he won two C&D handicaps last August; hit and miss since then but the visor in which he has form figures of 115 now belatedly returns. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Only 1-16 over fences but it was his first run after wind surgery when coming from off the pace for a closing third at Bangor (3m, good) last week; that's something to build on and Sean Bowen is back. |
5/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Came good with narrow win off lowly mark at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in September but last month's reappearance run was disappointing; given another wind op (his second) since; others are more persuasive. |
10/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |

1-14 as a chaser; won at Stratford in September (2m6f, good) and fair efforts since then; can go well if fitness isn't an issue on first run since October. |
