4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Despite failing to settle he showed a good attitude to win a 4yo handicap at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in November; pulled up at Ascot in December but that was his first run on soft going and he bled from the nose; very lightly raced and could be suited by the big-field scenario; retains potential. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Ran in three juvenile hurdles, the first for a different yard; beat the same Skelton-trained horse for his two wins and he's now exposed as modest (beaten in a seller), as is the third last time who was 100-1; however, he did win comfortably at Taunton and brings potential into this higher grade. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced junior hurdle winner; back from wind surgery when second in a three-finisher field at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) and the winner is seriously progressive; best form has been in the mud but needs considering. |
10/1 |

2nd 3 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Made all in junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m, heavy) 13 months ago and respectable third of five when back in action at Ffos Las (2m, soft) in November; 3-1 but pulled up in Leicester novice (about 2m4f; heavy) next time when his trainer blamed the tacky ground; makes his handicap debut following wind surgery and it is likely we haven't see the best of him. |

17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 188y |
11st 9lb |
Progressive in four runs over C&D last winter, notably runaway win on heavy; solid run after a break here in March and reappeared at Listowel last month, running a bit in snatches, staying on late; that should have him spot on for this and has to be respected. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Progressive in four runs at Limerick last winter, having earlier finished sixth in this race on his Irish debut; seems significant that Eric McNamara has kept him fresh for this meeting which he is targeting with a lot of runners; definite chance. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 |
22nd Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
In fine form for local yard; won off 13lb lower over C&D (heavy) in November; career best off 103 when a 1.75l runner-up in a C&D Listed handicap hurdle in December, although form not working out so well; nudged up another 3lb but clearly loves it here and he's a huge player in this modest grade. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Beaten about 7l by the winner Newport when fifth of ten at 9-1 on last month's handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft); improvement is needed but he's raced only five times and could take a step forward at some point. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Brought down early on his debut and hinted at promise, despite making mistakes, when fifth of seven in 2m Warwick juvenile ten months ago; this son of Roman Candle should do better. |

Showed nothing more than glimmers of promise in her three qualifying races towards the end of last year but it won't be a surprise if she gets much more competitive in handicaps; watch the betting. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles and twice disappointing since a third of six at Newton Abbot in September (2m1f, good to soft); wouldn't be the obvious answer on this switch to fences. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-7 and down the field at Taunton in November last time, but looked stretched by 2m3f; prior to that he ran okay when third of six at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); might have each-way chance now back down in trip. |
