18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up on debut in Listed bumper (2m1f, soft) and won his next two, latterly his hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, soft) in November; finished well held in Cheltenham novice (2m1f, good to soft) in December but could be capable of considerably better, with the step up in trip a possible plus. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Point/bumper winner with course form having finished fifth to No Drama This End in a Grade 2 in November (behind King's Bucks); had wind surgery before he beat a good horse at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) and put another in its place at Windsor when proving his stamina for 3m (soft); won't be fazed by the nature of this race and needs a second look. |

1st 1 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Point (3m) and bumper winner who showed promise in Grade 2s on first two hurdle starts (including on soft ground) before winning a maiden by 7l at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) last month; there's stamina in his useful pedigree and he's a leading contender for his top yard. |
9/4 |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Won the bumper at this meeting 12 months ago and went on to finish second at Ascot (beaten 14l in a Listed) and Kempton (again good to soft) where he narrowly missed out to one who could turn out very good; interesting that his top trainer aims this high on hurdling debut. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Taunton (2m, heavy) in February on second hurdle start and went close at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; he's shaped as though he'll be suited by the step up in trip and there's lots to like on his handicap debut. |

2nd 1 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won by a neck in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Taunton (2m, heavy) last month on his second hurdle start and the runner-up has since gone one better; showed promise on good to soft in a bumper (unraced on good); strong claims for top trainer who is 5-7 here in the last five seasons. |

1st 1 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Showed ability when reaching the frame in two bumpers (trained by Tom Weston on debut) but beaten 30l when fifth on 2m Exeter hurdle debut (good to soft) five weeks ago; tongue-tied on the back of that; Harry Cobden is on stablemate Babyken. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Merely mid-division in the Morebattle at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in February having been backed into favouritism; however, he's been a promising novice this season and is capable of better than he showed last time; not written off up in trip. |
14/1 |

9th 8 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who made it two wins in a row (good/soft) when scoring on handicap debut over C&D in December; only sixth of 14 behind Hot Fuss at Windsor (2m, soft) last month but a 3lb drop, Toby McCain-Mitchell's 5lb claim and the return to Kelso could all be positives; possibilities. |
11/1 |

6th 5 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won at Bangor (2m, good) in October on second hurdle start and comfortably followed up on handicap debut in small field at Kelso (2m, soft); bumped into smart prospect in Chepstow novice (2m, good to soft) last time and this unexposed 6yo could be a contender off 9lb higher than at Kelso. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Strong puller who has shown a little promise in two bumpers and two races over hurdles; more needed. |

6th 2 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Finished sixth to notable rival in one of his bumper starts and filled same position at Huntingdon on the switch to hurdles; set for similar outcome unless he shows improvement, however. |

22nd Feb 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
18-1 at Warwick (soft), where he was held up before making up plenty of ground and conceded two places late on; the principals look smart and this 5yo can improve. |

22nd Feb 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Unraced dam half-sister to useful winners and from the family of Denman; signs of inexperience at Southwell (good to soft; 9-2) but ran a nice race and was close up behind a previous winner. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
£24,000 yearling; first foal; unraced dam half-sister to two pretty useful winners, from the family of Denman; trainer has a healthy 17% strike-rate in bumpers in past five seasons; no surprise to see a good run on debut. |
