24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Didn't feature in the Imperial Cup (Go Dante two places ahead of him) but back on track with his sights lowered when shading a tight finish in 2m Ludlow handicap (good) 25 days ago, taking his hurdles record to 4-12; has won over this trip; should remain very competitive off 6lb higher. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Three-time novice winner on good to soft who has performed admirably in Graded and handicap company; didn't run much of a race in the Imperial Cup but he was single-figure odds and this wouldn't be as demanding as that Sandown race; tongue-tie removed; respected. |

9th 13 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Three novice hurdle wins last year (2m-2m4f, good to soft) and second of 15 at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November when back in a handicap; also runner-up at Taunton last month (2m, heavy; would have been closer granted a clear run) when back from a three-month break (and wind op); each-way player. |

3rd 2 |
26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner for James Owen, most recently at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March; backed that up with a solid effort next time but was beaten 22l when favourite back there 18 days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove; makes stable debut with the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye. |
9/2 |

6th 7 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
C&D scorer in March (good to soft) on his first realistic staying assignment, and 3lb badly in when not quite up to defying a penalty next time; of renewed interest after a break, and a winner on good also. |
6/1 |

4th 6 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Seems badly in under a penalty for recent 2m7f success at Market Rasen, with future mark 3lb lower; however, remains unexposed at this sort of distance and may show the progress that's needed to follow up. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
0-5 over hurdles and absent since June but shaped well before fading into third in C&D (good) maiden on that latest outing and could plausibly still have a bigger run in him on this handicap return. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten in two bumpers and four runs over hurdles; has performed okay on occasions (including here) but needs to find extra to get his head in front. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Looked a non-stayer over 2m7f on his handicap debut but was beaten even further back over 2m4f at Market Rasen (14l off the winner); off the same mark here but has undergone a wind operation, which may help. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Good finishing effort in his first few races; hasn't sustained that trend, latterly over hurdles, but may improve now handicapping on first run since further wind surgery. |

Bumper winner on good and a maiden winner on good to soft; feasible excuses for last two runs on account of ground/trip and now goes chasing with a pointing background; first-time tongue-tie. |
