21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Fergal O'Brien with three chase wins (2m4f-2m5f) in the autumn; returned with a lesser effort in February and fell when last in action but remains unexposed over 3m; sports first-time cheekpieces for hurdling debut; could have a say. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Fergal O'Brien with three chase wins in the autumn (2m4f-2m5f, good/good to soft); returned from short break with lesser effort last month but he's very unexposed as a stayer and further progress remains possible if he's back on song here. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed little in Ireland but has thrived since joining this stable, winning under Tom Broughton on all three starts (2m4f/2m5f), on ground no worse than good to soft; more needed off 4lb higher and the ground is likely to be on the soft side, but still the one to beat. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
2-13 over fences and 0-19 as hurdler; ran creditably on penultimate start but tailed off latest and they were both C&D; not the percentage call. |
11/2 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
In fairly good form over fences this season and ran big race when third in C&D (good) hurdle 16 days ago, looking likely winner until succumbing in closing stages; up in grade today but still on a good hurdle mark; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor; can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won two chases on ground slower than good in December (2m4f/2m3f) and has been running fairly well over fences this season; well beaten when reverting to hurdling last month but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is on a good mark. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Progressed over hurdles earlier this year (better for blinkers), last time edging home in a 3m1f good-ground handicap at Plumpton (5lb lower); appeals as one with plenty more to offer and had wind surgery ahead of this chasing debut; wasn't great the last time he tried cheekpieces but perhaps unwise to read much into that. |

Last seen winning a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in April (good to soft) off a 5lb lower mark; bred to make a chaser so has to be of interest. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent 7yo who has modest 1-21 strike-rate and needs to rebound from a heavy defeat last month; competes off career-low mark here but needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |

Inconsistent but wasn't beaten far when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) and then fell early at Ffos Las (4-1); should be in the mix. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Returned from break with pretty good fourth at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) 12 days ago and will presumably be ridden positively again over this shorter trip but he's just 1-14 over fences and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |

Absent since respectable fourth at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May but made all over C&D (good to soft) when fresh just under a year ago and could be primed to attempt something similar. |

Not yet proven over this far but made the frame on final four outings last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and was in front before penultimate-fence unseat at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month; must be considered. |
