11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Successful on his first five starts for Paul Nicholls; winning run ended when eighth of 24 to Supremely West in the Pertemps but he did stay on again after getting outpaced; likely to be competitive. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
5-5 for Paul Nicholls (good/good to soft) and the last three of those races were over 3m, including in the Wincanton qualifier; racking up the wins would be a highly unusual profile for a Pertemps Final winner but he keeps finishing off the opposition in storming fashion and could easily still have more to give; on the shortlist. |

11st 8lb |
Made it 4-4 for Paul Nicholls (good/good to soft) when readily winning 3m handicap at Wincanton on Boxing Day; runner-up in a point on soft ground; if conditions suit he holds leading claims under 8lb penalty. |

11st 12lb |
Form figures of 1521 on ground with good in the description, the fifth coming in a listed mares' hurdle at Haydock; floundered on heavy in a Gowran Grade 3 on latest but return to better ground a huge plus; should go well. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Last run too bad to be true but had been consistent in novice/maidens and the previous third at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) came in a strong race; the potential is there to be competitive off this mark on handicap debut. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up on first three hurdle starts (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft) before third of five in strong novice at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) four weeks ago; suspicion his limitations may again be exposed today but he's receiving weight all round and might not be far away. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up on first two hurdle starts (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft) before 12l second at Ayr (2m4f, soft) four weeks ago; today's step back up in trip looks a firm plus and he's receiving weight all round; possible player. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Soft-ground bumper winner who scored in good style on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in November; showed no improvement for stepping up in trip when fourth of five at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in January but has possibilities back down in distance/grade. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Soft-ground bumper winner who scored in good style on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in November; finished held in warm novice at Newcastle (2m6f, good to soft) subsequently and improvement is necessary, but there can be optimism he'll be capable of better; not discounted. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Deservedly got off the mark over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f) in January and not disgraced under a penalty despite coming in last of five in 3m Musselburgh novice 41 days ago; must enter calculations with cheekpieces added. |
6/4 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten on first four hurdle starts (good to soft/good) before winning recent maiden at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) when well backed; others have more substance to their form but this 5yo could have more to offer up in trip now things have clicked; interesting. |
6/1 |

1st 8 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
0-4 over hurdles but runner-up on last two starts, beaten 1l over C&D (good to soft) in November last time; every chance he'll be bang there. |
4/1 |
