13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Record of 321 switched to handicaps this term and the form has substance; ran well behind a notable rival on penultimate start (2m3f, good to soft) and subsequent Newbury performance (2m4f, good) took his strike-rate to 3-9; improving and remains particularly unexposed beyond 2m. |

22nd Feb 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Both wins have been here, on bumper debut (soft) and last time dominating from the front for a wide-margin maiden success; that represented a major spike in his form and he's hard to rule out. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Successful on his first five starts for Paul Nicholls; winning run ended when eighth of 24 to Supremely West in the Pertemps but he did stay on again after getting outpaced; likely to be competitive. |
12/1 |

8th 8 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
5-5 for Paul Nicholls (good/good to soft) and the last three of those races were over 3m, including in the Wincanton qualifier; racking up the wins would be a highly unusual profile for a Pertemps Final winner but he keeps finishing off the opposition in storming fashion and could easily still have more to give; on the shortlist. |

Made it 4-4 for Paul Nicholls (good/good to soft) when readily winning 3m handicap at Wincanton on Boxing Day; runner-up in a point on soft ground; if conditions suit he holds leading claims under 8lb penalty. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
At his best as a hurdler when gaining his second win in this sphere, at Kempton (2m, good) in March; touched off at Ludlow next time but below his best up in trip at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; ridden on four of last five starts by Ciaran O'Shea; back to 2m and needs to return to form. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Began to look exposed in the second half of last year but he showed improved form to win at Kempton (2m, good) on March 23 and was short-headed at Ludlow (2m, good) last Monday; he should be fine now back up in trip and could again be thereabouts. |

Classy on the Flat back in the day; it had been a struggle in handicaps this season but, back from a break and dropped in grade, he won readily enough under Ciaran O'Shea at Kempton (2m, good) last week; escapes a penalty. |

11st 7lb |
4-6 on good ground over hurdles, notching another personal best when returning from a break to win readily at Plumpton (2m; 15-2) last month; a 10lb rise demands further improvement but he's thriving and should encounter suitable conditions again. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Very progressive in completing a good-ground hat-trick last year and when third to Tutti Quanti in a Class 1 handicap at Newbury in November (soft); still on a competitive mark despite all that and for whatever reason he didn't show his true form at Kempton on final sighting at Christmas; if forgiven that, and he's had a break, then he enters the picture. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |

Pretty useful in 2024 on Flat; won on good ground at Huntingdon, Warwick and Market Rasen (2m1f) in all three of his handicap hurdles, with mistakes at the last two flights on latest outing but he'd travelled much the best and won by nearly 2l; up another 6lb and in class but he keeps looking as if he has more up his sleeve. |

Although first-time headgear seemed to get a response when fifth of 14 to a runaway winner at Kempton (2m) on latest outing, he still has major work to do; the subsequent wind surgery needs to make a big difference. |

Made excellent progress towards end of last season, winning three consecutive 2m4f handicaps (good/good to soft); not seen to quite the same effect when reappearing over 2m last month but may kick on again now he's back up in trip and with that run behind him. |
