8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Bought for £80,000 after comfortably winning on heavy ground at Uttoxeter for Tom Weston; defied an absence and a penalty on stable debut at Exeter (soft) where he was nicely on top at the finish; can't be underestimated. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when winning C&D (heavy) maiden last month, recovering well from slow jump at third-last flight; ran to fairly useful level that day but probably needs to improve again to land this prize. |
11/2 |

1st 6 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up after significant mid-race jumping error at Ascot six weeks ago but was runner-up on first two hurdling starts (2m3f, soft/good to soft), and his bumper form suggests he'll be well suited by the forecast heavy ground here; probably won't be far away. |
5/2 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
More experienced than most of these and he keeps giving his running, beaten off only on the run-in when second of four in novice at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) five weeks ago; should be winning before long and he's not ruled out here. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a four-timer (soft/good to soft) and made it three handicap wins in a row when cruising into the lead in the 2m4f EBF Final at Sandown last month; highly progressive and could play a leading role up in grade. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Progressing rapidly and completed a hat-trick of hurdles wins at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, coming from rear; more improvement required off 7lb higher mark and that's entirely possible; high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Only had four runs and won the last two, a maiden at Perth (2m4f, soft) and handicap at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft; comfortably); 8lb higher now but clearly on the upgrade and commands considerable respect. |

3rd 6 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
She was receiving 7lb off Livingonaprayer when they crossed the line together at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) and her Fontwell stroll told us nothing new, with her long odds-on that day; has to take a step forward but that's quite feasible. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Half-sister to smart jumper Allart; just a respectable fourth of seven on debut at Exeter (soft) in January, but that form has been well advertised by the winner since and her stable usually does well in bumpers; tongue-tie added. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Point bumper winner and was second in a Fontwell mares' novice hurdle (2m5f, good) in April; still went off 80-1 for handicap debut at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) and went out like a light. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a point bumper last November (soft); showed little on her first two rules starts before improving to be 6l second in a Fontwell mares' novices' hurdle (2m5f, good) in April; failed to back that up at Worcester (2m4f, good) latest, giving her a bit to prove again. |
