13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
2-2 over hurdles last season and has made a promising start to his chasing career this term; had to concede weight to higher-rated rival when runner-up in novice chase here (2m, soft) last month and remains on a good mark for this handicap return; good chance. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-2 over hurdles last season; had to battle hard to justify skinny odds on seasonal/chase debut at Carlisle (2m, soft; four fences omitted) in November and fell at third-last fence when travelling well at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) this month but remains a very interesting chasing prospect. |

Looked very promising in his two bumpers last season and beat a next-time-out winner fairly comfortably on last month's hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m, soft); makes very obvious appeal here. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Good form when winning a two-runner novice chase at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December on his second run over fences; however, he hasn't kicked on since and needs to raise his game if he's to win this. |

2nd 1 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Not fully exposed over fences and has winning form in a match, downing a 1-3 shot at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December; has jumping frailties, however, which again came to the fore when an 18l second of two finishers over this sort of trip at Chepstow (soft) three weeks ago; tongue-tie added and maybe this race won't be a stern examination of his jumping technique. |
10/11 |

2nd 2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won a match race at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December, his second chase, and certainly didn't run badly when last of five in Windsor handicap (3m, soft) last month, where a last-fence error magnified his margin of defeat; not sure to benefit from this drop back in trip but still enters calculations. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
But disappointing in four runs over hurdles since a spell chasing; has dropped to a good mark as a result and better run last time; down in grade; could go well. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Easily made all in this last year when 5lb higher and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's struggled for form over fences/hurdles since winning a novice chase at Kelso in December. |
11/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won this last year before following up at Ayr and is well handicapped on all that; however, this season's wins have been over fences and it's been a struggle back hurdling the last twice. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Did not fulfill his potential over hurdles for Nicky Henderson but, following a layoff, positives can be drawn from both chase runs for new stable this season; ran well until weakening into third here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and should benefit from this drop back in trip. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Impressed on hurdling debut for Nicky Henderson in November 2023 but completed only one of three subsequent hurdling starts, when fifth of eight in Kempton handicap (2m, good to soft) in December; changed hands for £22,000 in May and it's hard to know what to expect from him on stable/chase debut. |
