6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
0-5 over hurdles but a different proposition since switch to fences and fitted with cheekpieces, winning his last three, all right-handed and the latest by a wide margin when left clear mid-race at Hereford (2m5f, soft); 8lb rise in the weights will ask a question now back up in class, but still respected. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-5 over hurdles last term but has got his act together over fences since the application of cheekpieces and adopting front-running tactics, getting off the mark at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) last month and following up at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) 17 days ago; 6lb rise makes it tougher but looks sure to be the one to catch. |

1st 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; just as good over fences and holding his form well, beaten off only on run-in when second at Leicester (2m6f; stays 3m1f well) four weeks ago; handles any ground; leading contender. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; off the mark over fences at the seventh attempt at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) when fitted with first-time cheekpieces in January, and matched that level when runner-up at Newbury the following month; can make his presence felt again but he's never won off a mark this high. |
2/1 |

2nd 5 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; it was in a lower grade when getting off the mark over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) but that was fairly comfortable and it was his first time in cheekpieces; off 5lb higher he can make his presence felt. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Point and hurdle winner who has shown promise at different trips (2m-2m7f) in his three chase runs since December; finished last of three at Leicester last time but he wasn't beaten far and he should have more to offer in this sphere; not ruled out with cheekpieces added. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
2m4f handicap hurdle (soft) winner who shaped encouragingly on chase debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December when set a stiff task at the weights, and would have been placed returned to a more suitable trip at Newbury (2m7f) latest but for falling late; on a fair mark and remains open to progress in this sphere, so worth considering. |
