6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on the drop back in trip to win at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) in February and followed up at Kempton (2m2f, good); he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race, but did it very nicely and this 6yo novice is now 3-6 over fences; could still have more to offer and he's respected. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October; creditable efforts in defeats in strong novice handicaps on next three starts before resuming winning ways in a small field at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; 7lb higher in a more competitive race now but further progress can't be ruled out with this yard. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October and has run well in defeat on his three starts since, most recently at Cheltenham when not seeing out the stiff, extended 2m4f on soft ground; solid claims now back down in trip. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
He hasn't been at the top of his game over C&D on his last three starts but was on slow ground each time, which may not have suited; has an excellent record here otherwise (three-time C&D winner on good/good to firm) and he's 1lb below his last winning mark; can't be discounted. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
With Ben Brookhouse when gaining two C&D wins last summer; best run for current yard was in Bahrain back in the spring; may have needed it here ten days after three months off but could have run better than he did (led early). |
10/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice over C&D for Ben Brookhouse last summer, including this race by a wide margin (cheekpieces first time) when rated just 1lb lower; only run to form once in four starts for George Baker this year and he was tailed off on soft ground here when last seen in June; Patrick Mullins has been booked this afternoon and not unreasonable to think this race has been on the agenda for a while; respected. |

14th Feb 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Still unexposed over hurdles and has the services of Sean Bowen today but was beaten about 21l when fourth of seven over C&D (good) on last month's handicap debut; needs to find something extra. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Disappointing Flat maiden who was well beaten when 66-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen (2m, good), where he raced too freely and jumped left throughout; blinkers added here; too risky. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
17-race maiden who became disappointing on the Flat and hasn't exactly hit the ground running over hurdles, going down by between 17l and 24l in his qualifying races; clearly entitled to do better now handicapping but he's unconvincing. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |

Maiden hurdler who was never that threatening in handicaps but his breeding offers plenty of hope that he'll do better over fences and over this longer distance; tongue-tie added; hard to dismiss. |

Tailed off/pulled up on his three outings over hurdles and a transformation is needed following wind surgery; cheekpieces go on. |
