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. |

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. |

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. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Took a long time to open his account but won four times in cheekpieces (2m3f-2m4f) on ground slower than good last season; already back down to a workable mark and made a fairly encouraging reappearance on good ground 12 days ago but the cheekpieces are missing again here. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and was clear second to a big improver at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; today's 4lb higher mark is manageable if he jumps soundly on this chasing debut. |
15/8 |

2nd 5 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Made favourite for stable debut at Warwick (2m, good) in May but found things happening too quickly and was a never-dangerous fourth; moves back up in trip here, though, and may yet find some form for Ben Pauling. |
