8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Solid on his form with Conman John over longer trips in October and opened his hurdles account in Kelso contest (2m, soft) in December; struggled in warm handicap since but holds major claims back down in class. |
7/2 |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well when second in 3m novice at Cheltenham (good) in October but last month's win in a maiden hurdle at Kelso came at 2m (soft; under Tristan Durrell); this lightly raced 6yo is in top hands and should be suited by a strongly run race at this trip on his handicap debut; one to consider. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper winner last term; seems held by Conman John on Kelso seasonal/hurdle debut form but may do better with that outing (first since wind surgery) under his belt; runner-up in 3m point and has stamina on dam's side. |

28th Mar 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in three of his Irish points and minor honours in all three bumpers; while hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, heavy) in January was satisfactory, he disappointed there (2m3f, soft) next time and none of his form makes him a leading contender today. |
10/1 |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Placed in three of his Irish points and minor honours in all three bumpers (two on soft); 13l third on hurdling debut here (2m, heavy) last month but he kept battling behind an odds-on rival and shaped as though this stiffer stamina test would suit; in the mix. |

3rd 2 |
31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Placed in three of his Irish points and minor honours in all three bumpers (two on soft); assuming hurdles are no problem, he's in the mix. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Close second at Uttoxeter (heavy) in December but found a sharper test at Huntingdon (also 2m, soft) against him when a distant third last month; step up in trip looks a positive; firmly in the picture with Sean Bowen up. |
7/4 |

3rd 13 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Represents the sponsors; improved from first run to second in bumpers and did likewise when beaten under 1l on his latest hurdling outing at Uttoxeter (heavy), albeit flattered a little by the proximity; sharper 2m not strictly a plus, but live claims still if more improvement forthcoming. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Novice hurdler who was let down by his jumping and eventually fell in the Imperial Cup when dropped back to 2m at Sandown most recently; has a solid record otherwise and some strong 2m4f form behind very notable rivals; may resume improvement, provided errors are avoided. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Front-runner; won at Uttoxeter (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) in October on first two hurdle starts before third of five in Grade 2 here (2m4f, soft); again ran well when runner-up on handicap debut at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, when clear with Scorpio Rising who is declared for the EBF Final at 1:50, and this unexposed 6yo may benefit from the return to 2m; big player. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won two minor races at Uttoxeter before a credible third to top novice No Drama This End in a Grade 2 at Sandown (2m4f, soft); racing keenly up front ultimately told late on but he remains open to significant improvement and this mark might not be beyond him. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Upwardly mobile hurdler who readily made it two wins in his last three starts in 2m1f handicap at Carlisle last month; has more to offer, so not taken lightly despite a 9lb weights hike. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Got off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in December and ran another sound race when second in an Ayr handicap (2m, heavy) since; progressive and a contender. |

Half-brother to his connections' 2m3f/2m4f hurdle winner Bashers Reflection; dam maiden half-sister to bumper winner Special Mate, out of sister to triple Gold Cup winner Best Mate; check the betting. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Well beaten all nine starts and she's particularly hard to fancy on the strength of her three handicaps (2m4f/2m7f). |

Soundly beaten/pulled up this season in her first two handicaps (2m7f/2m4f, good to soft) and she's hard to fancy on that evidence. |

10st 11lb |
Ran well for a long way when sixth of 12 in course bumper in February (good to soft) but was beaten out of sight in her two bumpers either side of that and is a tricky mare to predict on this hurdling debut. |

Out of a half-sister to Champion Hurdler Punjabi; well beaten on debut in November but last month's sixth of 12 at Huntingdon (good to soft) was much more encouraging and she has realistic each-way claims here. |
