21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner who looked useful during three-race novice hurdle campaign for Nicky Henderson last season, signing off with small-field win at Kempton (2m5f, good) in March; probably still has potential, and new trainer Olly Murphy is evidently very keen to switch him to fences. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
0-5 in this first chase campaign but pipped at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January and a close third of 22 in the Ultima at the Festival there (3m1f, good to soft) on latest outing; raised 5lb for this first attempt at a marathon trip but he's relatively unexposed and kept on stoutly in that bold show last time. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Mixed form during this novice chase campaign but he went very close in handicap here (2m4f, soft) in January and 2m was against him back in novice company at Newbury latest; best performance over hurdles came when winning at 3m at Ayr (good to soft) last April; possible improver now back up in trip. |
9/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Tongue-tie has been retained since he won a 3m handicap hurdle at last season's big April meeting at Ayr; runner-up in two of his three chases and jumped well when nosed out by the likeable Jordans Cross at Cheltenham last month (2m4f, soft); surprising to see him back at 2m but at least the ground will be testing, and he'd be giving weight to all his rivals in a handicap. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Second foal; dam 2m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful winners Real Stone (2m-2m5f hurdle/chase) and Stoney's Teasure (2m3f-3m hurdle/chase) out of 2m3f/2m4f hurdle winning half-sister to smart 2m chaser Martin's Lamp; from a fine family but ridden by a 10lb claimer and probably best watched. |
