29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only three runs over fences but already a better chaser than hurdler; well on top to win at Wincanton in November (1m7f, good; 5lb lower) and the softer surface at Ludlow (good to soft) was a feasible excuse next time; absent since December but likely to go well. |

2nd 3 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from one-year absence with low-key run in 2m4f maiden hurdle last month (raced too freely) and is now 0-7 in that sphere; entitled to have benefited from that outing but needs this switch to chasing to enable improvement. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Still a maiden over hurdles after 13 starts but looked set to put that right at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in April, only to fall at the last when mounting his challenge, after a similar break to today's; up 2lb but Paddy Hanlon retains the ride and this 6yo is worth considering. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-12 over hurdles but he ran well to finished second off this mark at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) in February; this is a deeper race but he's versatile ground-wise and has each-way claims again after a short break. |

Still a maiden over hurdles and he was beaten off current mark, having made mistakes, at Huntingdon (2m4f) on most recent attempt in this sphere. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won two in a row over 2m4f at Worcester (good) last autumn; no joy in his final three runs last season but he returned after wind surgery with an encouraging third of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; could be dangerous if he can build on that and his last win was off this mark. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice over 2m4f at Worcester in September/October last year; below his best in stronger company at Newbury in March; interesting down in grade on first run back following wind op. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two wins over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester (maiden/handicap) in the autumn and creditable fourth at Aintree (3m, soft) in December when his jumping lacked fluency and he didn't see the trip out that well; disputed favouritism at Newbury (2m4f) last month but clipped heels and slipped up before halfway; cheekpieces go on and he needs to resume improvement, with Sean Bowen (on board for those wins) back. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who showed a bit more last time when beaten 8l in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Stratford; that was his first run in cheekpieces as well; chase debut. |
14/1 |

6th 7 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
No impact in any of his seven races, the last two of which were handicaps at Kempton (3m, good; hooded) and Hereford (3m2f, soft); hooded on penultimate start and now tries cheekpieces; fair bit to prove even though the move back down in trip may help. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Two-time hurdles winner (at up to 2m3f) for Dan Skelton last November; runner-up on his yard debut in 2m Uttoxeter handicap chase but came in last of three at Stratford (2m1f) later in June; needs to take a step forward. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
2-7 over hurdles for Dan Skelton before being sold for £5,000 after bleeding from the nose and pulling up on chase debut at Bangor in May; made a satisfactory start for this stable when runner-up to Tellherthename at Uttoxeter two weeks ago but is 4lb out of the weights here. |

11st 4lb |
Well held in a valuable Newbury bumper in March 2024 and beaten 38l and 47l in both starts over hurdles, most recently at Hereford (2m3.5f, good to soft) in November; lots more needed back from a 303-day absence. |

Went close in a maiden point last spring but has not shown any worthwhile form under rules since (including two handicap runs). |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Modest point form, though he nearly won his final start in April; pulled up over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 66-1) last month and easy to look elsewhere. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Nothing to show from two hurdle runs in France and modest point form earlier this year, for all that he nearly won his final one; very opposable. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Merely sixth, beaten 15l, on last month's handicap debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft); however, it may well have been a warm race and prior to that he went close in a novice at Leicester (1m7f, soft); retains potential. |
12/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who was a close second at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in November on his third hurdle start; the winner followed up in a handicap, indicating this unexposed 5yo has a workable opening mark. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Landed his second of two bumpers at Bangor (2m, good) in April; promising start over hurdles when third to one that has won again since at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; steps back in trip and looks sure to run well. |

10st 8lb |
Well held in his first three hurdle runs before being pulled up on handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; that was after an absence but he needs cheekpieces to make a big difference on this step back up in trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-10 over hurdles but was clear second to a next-time-out winner at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, after a break, and also ran well when fourth in higher-grade race won by very progressive rival there (2m4f, good) later that month; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain but, otherwise, has strong claims. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Yet to get her head in front but she returned from six months off with a very good second of ten in 2m handicap here 17 days ago; she's proven over this longer trip and well in the mix nudged up 2lb. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Dual 1m4f AW Flat winner; 0-10 over hurdles, but decent runs at Worcester on last two starts, last time finishing a head second, clear of the remainder (3m, good); up 5lb; chance. |
