24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner who scored on his hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) then finished second in Grade 2 at Sandown (2m4f, soft) behind easy winner No Drama This End, who followed up in the Grade 1 Challow; open to further improvement and he might not be far away. |

Runner-up in Aintree bumper on Boxing Day and ran to a similar level when fourth at Exeter in February; fully expected to have a major say on all known form. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Not beaten far by The Blue Room (since second to No Drama This End in a Grade 2 hurdle) on Ffos Las debut (good to soft) and subsequent absence suggests that all might not have been right with him when well beaten at Cheltenham (good); retains potential and a tongue-tie is added. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 2 |

Half-brother to useful hurdler Shear Rock; kept on well from off the pace for creditable second of ten at Ffos Las (good to soft) in April but almost certainly needs to build on that performance. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won easily at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January, his second hurdling start, and was not discredited when second to useful rival at Taunton (2m3f, heavy; front pair well clear) in February; ought to make his presence felt. |

Caught the eye when keeping on steadily for third on seasonal/hurdle debut in November and created good impression when drawing clear to win by 12l at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; ought to be a tough nut to crack. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January and followed up at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy), both under Rian Corcoran; when third at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) it maybe came too soon, just six days after the Wincanton win; 7lb higher mark has now kicked in but he may still have more to offer. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps and deployment of Rian Corcoran, the pair obliging at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) and Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) with something in hand each time; unpenalised for the latter, and obvious case assuming the six-day turnround isn't too quick. |
2/1 |

1st 3 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well-held fourth in his first three runs over hurdles but he found improvement when justifying support on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a convincing win under Rian Corcoran and he's open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Five-race maiden who ran an encouraging race on handicap debut at Ludlow (third of eight; beaten 10l; 11-2) and stepping up from 2m5f could make a difference; considered. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Close up when unseating at the last in a small field at Doncaster on penultimate start and confirmed his improvement when 14l fourth of 13 over that same extended 2m3f last month (soft; 28-1); needs further progress on this handicap debut, but these are early days and it may be forthcoming. |

Beaten twice as far but probably achieved a little bit more when recording his second successive Newbury hurdle fifth last time (2m, good to soft); ought to find his level in handicaps after this. |

First worthwhile form when beaten under 7l in a soft-ground 2m Chepstow maiden two weeks ago; more needed but could take another step forward. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Favourite when runner-up on bumper debut but little to shout about over hurdles and beaten a long way on his chase debut over C&D (good) in this headgear combination three weeks ago; respected yard but he needs to show more. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Mostly disappointing since finishing second in a bumper last spring, weakening quickly and pulled up in both handicap hurdles in recent months; too soon to write off but switches to fences with something to prove; a first-time hood and tongue-tie combination is also added. |
10/1 |

18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Underwhelming since finishing second in a bumper 12 months ago and he was pulled up on his handicap debut four weeks ago (2m4f, soft) when not strong in the betting at 9-1; did go clear with one other that day so perhaps wasn't seen to best effect. |
12/1 |
