1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all to win this race in pretty good style off 3lb lower in 2025 (heavy ground) and returns here after making the frame on both starts this year (2m5f, good to soft/soft); ought to make a bold bid. |

Very up and down; had one of his better days at Exeter last month (2m5f, good to soft) but was behind Shuil Ceoil and wouldn't be certain to back that up. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Placed all three starts since winning over C&D (good to soft) in May 2024, most recently when creditable third of 13 at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; hampered on run-in) in January, after a long absence; not yet proven on heavy ground but still features prominently in calculations. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ran some solid races when switched to handicaps in 2024; missed all of 2025 but is on a competitive mark if retaining his ability; watch the market. |

3rd 8 |
10th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft; acts on soft) in May in his second handicap and placed in the other two; that amounts to the most solid claims in this field, far more solid than those of the vast majority. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally very disappointing since returning from long absence in the autumn but took step back in right direction when respectable fourth (just behind Onehundredneighty) at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and remains very well handicapped. |
11/2 |

4th 2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Dual 2m3f chase winner at start of 2024 (heavy/good to soft) but out of sorts since returning from long layoff this season; reverts to hurdling on tempting mark but needs a revival. |
20/1 |
|
7th 11 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Began 2024 with two 2m3f Exeter wins and was subsequently placed over C&D; very well handicapped on those heroics but returned from long layoff with three disappointing runs this season and needs a revival; swaps usual cheekpieces for blinkers. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and took his form to another new level when battling on well to score at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) eight days ago; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is not out of the question. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Showed modest form for Max Young, including in two handicaps; it will be interesting to see if the switch to this major stable can eke out any improvement; betting may well be significant. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Showed no significant promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m1f) towards end of last year but belied 150-1 odds when staying-on third on recent handicap debut at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) and it will be interesting to see whether he can build on that performance. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Showed no significant promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m1f) towards end of last year, most recently when remote second in two-finisher contest on Boxing Day; improvement required on handicap debut. |
