11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Useful over hurdles and even better over fences; found a bit more improvement when coming from behind to beat Be Aware 1l in three-runner Grade 2 novice at Windsor (2m, soft; handles good) in January; well beaten next time in 2m4f handicap at the Cheltenham Festival, lack of stamina probably a factor; this drop back in trip looks a plus and he wears cheekpieces for the first time (has won when hooded); not ruled out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Three hurdle wins at up to 2m1f last season but he was the last to finish in the Martin Pipe here (about 2m4f) last March; has proved his worth in small-field chases since, winning two from four starts, over 2m3f (good) and 2m (soft); he can raise his game further but a strongly run race on a track with a steep uphill finish raises a question. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 37y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won a handicap at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November on chase debut and has continued in good form in Grade 2 chases on next two starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft), shaping as though this drop back in trip is well worth a go; could have a big part to play. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Little in three qualifying runs, but much better when second of eight behind Indian Sunbird on handicap debut over C&D (good) last month; 2lb higher, but may be all the better for that first run in 200 days and he remains completely unexposed; much respected with a hood now given a go. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 412 since handicapping, the win gained by 4l at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft); clear of the remainder at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) since; may show additional progress upped further in trip; remains of interest. |
7/2 |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Only his second run in a handicap when a 4l winner at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) where he was backed into favouritism; still looked green in front that day and might well be up to defying the 8lb rise. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has done well since raised to 2m4f and narrowly beaten at Ascot on his penultimate start by one who was well handicapped; beaten too far out at Uttoxeter last time to blame the longer trip (2m7f) but definite chance at this level if he's back on his game. |
100/30 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Has a solid record (1212) since upped to about 2m4f, the wins at Uttoxeter (3-3 here overall); good effort at Ascot most recently; bred to stay this longer distance and may improve further; strong contender. |
7/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Second-season hurdler who has form figures of 121 since upped to 2m4f, both wins at Uttoxeter (good to soft); goes into deeper waters but may improve further at this sort of distance; respected. |

Finished a close third on handicap debut over 2m3f here in March but off colour since then with and without a tongue-tie; goes up in trip and there are stayers in the family. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Third in two Ludlow novice hurdles in February (2m, good to soft) before finishing a creditable third at Hereford on handicap debut on first run at this trip (good; form not worked out); tongue-tie now tried; each-way chance. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden but, the Ffos Las blip in January aside, he's acquitted himself well in defeat this season and his recent form at staying distances has shown clear progress, taking another step forward at Hereford (3m2f, good) last time with the addition of cheekpieces, coping well with the quicker ground; leading contender. |
9/4 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back to form when 5l second at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) last month, and the way he stayed on suggests this longer trip should be well within his range; interesting candidate in first-time headgear for in-form yard. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Mixed signals as regards his optimum trip this term, though still able to post career-best form in defeat at Market Rasen at Christmas; hung left when pulling up behind Osterberg latest, however. |

Finished closer when fifth of ten in 2m novice here (good to soft) last time, albeit well behind the front two; this move back up in trip may well suit and she's an unexposed handicap debutante. |
