22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Hooded when solid third over C&D (good) at the end of last year and scored at Plumpton (about 2m4f, soft) on next start in February; revised mark has seen him held in two subsequent starts but that doesn't tell the whole story as they were seriously competitive series qualifiers; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles when second here 13 months ago) are reapplied and he needs a firm second look. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Gained his Plumpton success (2m4f) in small field and was only midfield in a deeper race at Wincanton later in February; opposed in another competitive contest. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Knocking on the door on good ground this season prior to gaining a deserved win at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) recently; 6lb higher in a more competitive race today but he did it comfortably last time and has solid claims. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; bounced back from a poor run when second at Plumpton (2m4f, soft; tongue-tie refitted) this month and new jockey Rian Corcoran claims a useful 6lb; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles and ran okay in his first two races after a wind operation before failing to give his running at Fontwell a month ago; would have a chance if he's back to anything like his best. |
12/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Drew clear to score in first-time visor at Fonwell (2m3f, good to soft) in March and is now 4-14 over hurdles; returns from seven-month absence on career-high mark but won when fresh last autumn; a possible. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came good over hurdles at fifth attempt, with clearcut success at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) in January; well beaten (albeit in better race than this) last month, though, and may not be ideally suited by this quicker ground. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Looked good in winning at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) but found nothing for pressure when beaten 7l off this 8lb higher mark at Plumpton; that was disappointing. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had his Lingfield handicap (2m3f, soft) in the bag from a fair way out last time and, still lightly raced, could prove himself worth an 8lb rise; solid contender. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him. |

6th 3 (1) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
An excellent Flat campaign last year yielded three turf wins under Rose Dawes from May to October and he's been in AW/hurdles action this winter; absent 11 weeks but has to be considered seriously. |
11/2 |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Both hurdle wins have been here, the latest over this trip last April (good; off 3lb lower); three Flat wins since, including on soft ground; should go well. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Best on the Flat at around 1m2f and his two wins over hurdles came over 2m round undemanding courses; stamina would be a concern then for a yard also responsible for Aggagio and Galactic Jack. |
6/1 |

5th 7 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dictated a modest pace when just holding on over 2m here (soft) a fortnight ago, for which he's gone up only 3lb; it remains to be seen whether he'll get this far as he's bred for the Flat. |
7/2 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark over hurdles in juvenile maiden at Warwick (2m, good to soft; 50-1) in December 2024; well held on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) last month; needs to have come on for that; cheekpieces return. |

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. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
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. |
