26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
2-2 in handicaps, both of those wins coming at Perth (2m4f, good/good to soft); up 10lb since the latest success last month and takes on classier opposition today but he did it nicely and is clearly progressive. |
5/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who fended off Summergrounds to make winning handicap debut over C&D (2m4f, good) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; went up 6lb for that narrow success but further progress is possible. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed only minor promise when a 33-1 outsider for two 2m novice hurdles this autumn; needs to take a good step forward. |
33/1 |
|
3 |
11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame in bumpers at Catterick and Wetherby (both good ground) last season; no immediate promise on hurdling debut at Perth (2m, good to soft; 33-1) last month and may be more of a long-term prospect. |
28/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Made the frame in six-runner bumpers at Catterick and Wetherby (both on good ground) last season and ought to make his mark over jumps at some stage but has pretty good standard to reach on this hurdling debut. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Point, bumper and dual novice hurdle winner who was second in a Grade 2 at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) in February; however, he was just over 6l behind Montemares at Kelso, so has work to do today. |
40/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Point/bumper winner who made it 2-3 over hurdles with win at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft); others have achieved more but sole defeat in this sphere came behind a classy type; could have more left in the tank. |
10/1 |
|
1st 1 |
21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
3m point and heavy-ground bumper winner who scored on hurdle debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in November; another good run when second of three at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft), when no match for subsequent Grade 1 runner-up; the step up in trip could be a good move; leading claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed clear promise on both hurdling starts last season, more recently when fourth at Kelso (2m, good to soft) six weeks ago, and ought to play a significant role here; tongue-tie fitted for first time. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Hint of promise in sole bumper (1m7f, good) and returned from absence to fill fifth of 14 at 40-1 on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; wind op since; the Wetherby form reads well and he's one to consider. |
3/1 |
|
4th 5 |
17th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |

19th Mar 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
13-race maiden who has been tailed off on his last two starts; however, there was a positive reaction to cheekpieces in December and perhaps the switch to a visor today will give him a boost; not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nine-race maiden; fair second in a novice handicap at Hereford in January (3m1f, soft) but soundly beaten at Wetherby last time; has a bit to prove. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-11 and was 21l adrift in second at Hereford (3m1f, soft) latest; others make greater appeal. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has offered little in a trio of hurdling events, tongue tied and hooded when only eighth of ten in 2m Stratford novice in March; she's hard to warm to now going handicapping. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 |
29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Has shown very little in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; new headgear tried here. |
