2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual 2m novice hurdle winner last season but well beaten on handicap debut in April and he's also struggled in two chase runs this winter; still lightly raced and now returns after wind surgery, but likely best watched for now. |
10/1 |

26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |

Beat all bar a notable rival on hurdles debut; questionable whether he has improved in justifying favouritism twice since, all out at Huntingdon (2m) latest; however, has a smart pedigree and may do better still. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
A fairly useful winning chaser for Dan Skelton; in excellent form for his current yard too, finally getting off the mark over hurdles in 2m3f novice at Chepstow 22 days ago; the clear form pick. |
5/4 |

1st 2 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Chase winner for previous yard; 0-13 over hurdles but is in form for new stable, having finished second in handicaps on last two outings, latest over C&D (good to soft) behind easy winner; fighting chance at the weights. |
5/2 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
His only win came over fences when trained by Dan Skelton; both runs for this yard have been over hurdles, tailed off in the first but then a strong-finishing second at Hereford (2m3f, good); if as good again then he won't be far away. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who got himself back on track in the new cheekpieces when third to The Boola Boss at Chepstow; no good thing to reverse those placings despite a 5lb pull on the winner but definite each-way chance. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Acts on good and soft ground; won two chase handicaps at Hereford (3m1f) late in 2025 but he's struggled in his last two starts; still has potential in this sphere but he needs to get back on track with cheekpieces added. |

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. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |

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. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |

Remains winless over hurdles and he was well held when unseating his rider two out in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 17 days ago; others are much preferred. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Tailed off when 50-1 for 2m7f Worcester handicap last month and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces and drops back in trip here. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has appeared in two bumpers and five hurdle races, but tailed off on handicap debut in April and got rid of his jockey when the race started at Stratford in June (again 50-1); not seen since and now wears a hood. |

Well beaten in two 2m3f handicaps towards end of last year and has now been unplaced in all six hurdle starts; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up on debut in bumper in April 2024; no impact on his four starts since, three of them over hurdles, but this handicap debut provides a more realistic opportunity and he's one to watch in the betting. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Eight-race maiden but he's been placed in the last two of his three chase runs including when a clear second at Fontwell (2m3f, good; tongue-tie added) 13 days ago; looks interesting off the same mark here and he should have more to offer over fences; leading contender. |
4/5 |

2nd 5 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Much the best of two chase starts when third of 11 at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in March; drops back in trip with a tongue-tie joining his cheekpieces; unexposed and he's respected for top yard. |

11st 4lb |
Managed only sixth of seven (albeit not beaten that far) when upped to 2m4f for last month's handicap debut at Southwell (good; first-time hood); needs to learn to settle better. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Hasn't achieved much in bumpers and novice/maiden hurdles (2m), and improvement is needed off his opening mark; however, his dam won at up to 2m4f and the first-time hood could help him settle now up in trip; not ruled out, and the betting may be informative. |

Hadn't improved for contesting handicaps but that changed when upped to 3m1f at Warwick (good) where he was well backed; didn't win with loads in hand but only went up 4lb. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

5th 10 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has had few chances but he called it a day on his handicap debut at Huntingdon in November and his finishing effort was sorely lacking at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) in February; hard to fancy for now. |
