4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has three wins over fences, including one over C&D; 2lb lower than for his last win at Plumpton last April but has been below his best on his last three starts, the latest when tailed off over hurdles. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |

Gained a third chase win last season at Plumpton (2m1f) in April but went too freely when last of three in 2m Huntingdon handicap chase the following month; it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back after a break here though. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Both wins over fences have been at Market Rasen (2m5f/3m); struggles with his consistency but if on a going day in first-time blinkers then he's not handicapped out of it. |

Two Market Rasen chase wins since last May but pulled up there in February and well-held fifth of six over 3m here since, taking his Southwell record to 0-7. |

On a losing run but he fared better than of late when third of eight over C&D 22 days ago; he needs considering eased 2lb. |

3rd 2 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last February but he's been pulled up in three of his last six runs and was a well-held fourth of six at Ffos Las last time; now 7lb lower than for his last win but he needs a big turnaround. |
12/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Out of sorts since a couple of sound performances, including an account-opening win, last February; chance of revival depends on how well he responds to added cheekpieces. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Can be a bit in and out but he stuck to his task and just got the better of Le Galli Bier for second last time at Plumpton (2m4f, soft); however, the winner left both behind and this 9yo is off the same mark. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rather in and out since winning at Fontwell in December 2024, but he was in the process of running one of his better races when falling at the second last at Lingfield (2m4f, heavy) 18 days ago; likely to play a part if none the worse for that experience. |
4/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Seemed to find 2m7f too taxing here last month but had arguably been fortunate to escape with just a small nudge up the weights for his clear second at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve, and this drop back in trip looks the right move. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Hit prolonged flat spots before keeping on for modest fourth over 2m on latest two appearances, the latest at Warwick this month; on a good mark now and this step back up in trip could be the right move but it remains to be seen whether Jack Quinlan can keep him in touch this time. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |

Only 1-9 over fences but runner-up four times; seems best at Doncaster but on a fair mark and he's able when fresh; Cobden booked. |
9/2 |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Probably best known for his exploits at Doncaster; won in good style there (2m, good) in February but has fitness to prove after 220-day break and his record at this track is not good. |

12st 0lb |
Generally disappointing last season but showed the benefit of a wind op when making the frame on final two appearances (2m/2m4f); begins new campaign on a workable mark and will be suited by the ground; a possible. |

Progressive over fences in the spring, winning three times on good ground (2m-2m1f); retuned from break with low-key run at Kempton this month but this race is easier and he may still have more improvement to come. |

10st 7lb |
Caused 40-1 shock over C&D (good) in early part of last season and posted a couple of good efforts here in June but was pulled up at Market Rasen last month and is not easy to predict. |

Ran well behind Rocks Up Late three starts back and again back at Worcester when well out of the weights; a poor run behind Greenways since was a reminder of his inconsistency. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences; hasn't had much go his way since scoring in October but he was still in contention when unseating three out over fences last time in a race won by Dunkerque; now 10lb better off with that rival and he should be competitive given a change in fortune; forecast rain is a concern though. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 5-13 over hurdles and he's rated 10lb lower as a chaser (0-5); however, hasn't offered a lot in this discipline and it's over a year since he last went chasing. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |

Strike-rate of 5-12 over hurdles and won easily at Warwick (2m5f, good) before pulling up at Ascot in October; he does have a bit to prove off this mark even if returning in good order. |

Respectable second at Ludlow (2m, good to soft; 10lb lower today) in December but the rest of his chase form is poor and he fell early when tried in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, which are fitted again. |
