2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon in April (2m, good) and improved on his first try over fences when 1.75l third over C&D last time (soft); contender. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt, easily justifying skinny odds in modest Huntingdon maiden (2m, good) in April; tackles stronger opposition and has fitness to prove on this chasing debut but still has possibilities if he takes well to fences. |

1st 4 |
11th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Slightly disappointing when only fifth at Fontwell (2m1f, good) a fortnight ago and now 0-7 over hurdles but ran well from the front when close second at Southwell (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has strong claims in a modest race here. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden who has been inconsistent over hurdles but he was a close second in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good; tongue-tie added) on his penultimate run; on same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form on this switch to fences. |
3/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Initially failed to show any immediate benefit from wind surgery in three subsequent runs (2m to extended 2m4f) but latest effort, fitted with a tongue-tie and going close at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month, was a marked step forward; it will be interesting to see if he can build on that and 3lb claimer is booked. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Expensive to follow in maiden company, including twice at short prices over C&D last year; poor in two starts over further since undergoing wind surgery (reported to have stopped quickly last time) and the first-time tongue-tie will need to help. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Back from wind surgery when winning narrowly at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) but well beaten off this 5lb higher mark back there, finishing behind Thickthorn Tom; unraced beyond 2m5f. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Had wind surgery before he cashed in on a falling mark to open account over C&D (good to soft) last month; up 5lb for that head success but recent form counts for plenty in this race and he's a big player. |
4/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
11-race maiden with unconvincing record over fences this season (five attempts; remote when third last time); needs recent wind op to have made a difference. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Ran well for a long way when sixth of 12 in course bumper in February (good to soft) but was beaten out of sight in her two bumpers either side of that and is a tricky mare to predict on this hurdling debut. |

8th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Out of a half-sister to Champion Hurdler Punjabi; well beaten on debut in November but last month's sixth of 12 at Huntingdon (good to soft) was much more encouraging and she has realistic each-way claims here. |

Quirky customer who ran out when unsteerable in a bumper in November and was well beaten on his first two hurdling starts. |

11st 2lb |
Ran out when unsteerable in a bumper in November and well beaten after racing too freely on hurdle debut two weeks later; far too risky. |
