|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st 2 | 1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y | 11st 11lb | The fact Townend picks him from the stable's eight runners is a very big positive; maiden hurdle winner placed in Grade 1 novice company at Aintree last term (2m4f, good); beaten favourite in opening two chase runs before making the breakthrough at Cork (2m1f, yielding) last time, when defeating Wingmen by 0.75l; big player with further improvement plausible. | 7/2 |
| 1st 1 | 5th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 45y | 11st 12lb | Classy hurdler won a Clonmel 2m1f maiden before a close third in an Aintree Grade 1 novice over 2m4f last season; was an unlucky loser on second chase start at Gowran last time behind a stablemate; down in trip and a big player. | 8/11F |
| 2nd 3 | 22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y | 11st 12lb | One of three for stable; highly tried after an easy Clonmel maiden hurdle win and emerged with much credit when third in the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree; only third when odds-on at Naas on chasing debut; finished 2l behind longer-priced stablemate King Alexander; Paul Townend keeps faith. | EvensF |
| 3rd 3 | 15th Dec 2025 Heavy 2m 4f 40y | 11st 12lb | One of three for stable; highly tried after an easy Clonmel maiden hurdle win and ran with real credit in the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree; dam is a half-sister to a chase winner and he is preferred by Townend; obvious chance for top yard that has won four of the last six renewals of this race. | 8/13F |
| 4th 4 | 2nd May 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 140y | 11st 12lb | towards rear, some headway after 2 out, no impression when left in modest fourth last | 14/1 |
