20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
His maiden win over hurdles came at odds of 1-3 in a small field and he's since tasted defeat in three handicaps, going up 2lb for the latest second at Ludlow (2m5f, soft); difficult to call him well treated but now goes over fences and he has the look of a chaser. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easy winner at 1-3 in a maiden at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in December; didn't see out the extended 2m7f on handicap debut next time and his fourth at Windsor (2m4f, soft; bumped before two out) on latest was better; still needs extra but he's heading the right way. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Bumped into a good one on his hurdling debut and then easily justified short odds at Plumpton (2m4f, soft); beaten 18l on his handicap debut at Ascot but he travelled with purpose for much of that race and didn't see out the extended 2m7f; this trip might be the right fit at this stage of his career; respected. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Five-race maiden who ran an encouraging race on handicap debut at Ludlow (third of eight; beaten 10l; 11-2) and stepping up from 2m5f could make a difference; considered. |

3rd 2 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Close up when unseating at the last in a small field at Doncaster on penultimate start and confirmed his improvement when 14l fourth of 13 over that same extended 2m3f last month (soft; 28-1); needs further progress on this handicap debut, but these are early days and it may be forthcoming. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
He was lucky to win his maiden 14 months ago and is now 0-5 in handicaps after pulling up at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft); others have more going for them. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fortunate winner (left in the lead three out) of a 2m1f maiden here in January 2025; fared slightly better than at Haydock previously when fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, soft; beaten 12l) a fortnight ago; steadily easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Had a solid spell at maiden/novice level last winter but form dipped in the spring and he was well beaten last month after an eight-month break; stamina not proven and ground worse than good to soft looks a problem. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) in October and followed up in a chase here over the same trip later that month when finishing alone; form has dipped since, over fences and hurdles; needs to bounce back. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) before returning to fences at Ludlow (3m, good) where he finished alone; form has dipped since, over fences and hurdles; on a perfectly good mark if he can bounce back to form. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) before returning to fences at Ludlow (3m, good) later in October where he finished alone after being left in isolation three out; tailed off in a Hereford chase on latest start and absent 107 days since; back hurdling on a competitive mark but with more to prove on worse than good to soft. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Stratford (2m2f, good) on handicap debut; pulled up at Cheltenham (2m4f) later in October after a mistake three out caused the saddle to slip and jockey to lose irons; he disputed the lead at the time of that mishap (albeit after earlier jumping issues as well) but did not run so well there in November (2m, soft); absent 96 days since but needs a second look. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Unexposed 5yo who is a half-brother to stable's top-class hurdler The New One; made all to beat six rivals on recent handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, good); hiked up in grade here but still has potential. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Half-brother to stable's top-class hurdler The New One; awarded small-field Newton Abbot bumper a year ago and ran well for a long way when third on subsequent hurdling debut at Fakenham (2m, good); can feature here if ready to roll after 11-month break. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He was completing a hat-trick last season when beating Marlacoo at Sandown (2m4f, soft; effective on good to soft); however, there's been no sign of that form this campaign and his usual hood is removed. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won three in a row last season (2m3f-2m4f, good to soft/soft); scoped dirty after final race last term and, although not disgraced on reappearance, he ran poorly at Warwick on latest start; off ten weeks and needs a revival. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Only 1-24 and that win was nearly two years ago; he was in no form earlier this year and plenty depends on whether cheekpieces can trigger something; he's dropped to a good mark. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win came off just 1lb higher in May 2024; some creditable efforts subsequently but his hurdling has often held him back and he's been tailed off all three starts since January. |
