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. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Has made the frame twice over hurdles and ran as though the run was needed when seventh of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 15 days ago following a six-month break; steps up in trip and has dropped to a career-low mark; should not be far away. |
11/2 |

7th 2 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Placed in both bumpers and has made the frame in his last two runs in handicaps over hurdles; down 1lb and wouldn't need to improve much more to be competitive. |
6/1 |
|
8th 1 |
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. |

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 |
