14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Has posted two wins and a placed effort, all at about 2m, since switched to chasing; may still have more to offer but goes into unknown territory upped a mile in distance; tongue-tie added. |
4/1 |

3rd 8 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Point winner who left his bumper/novice hurdle form behind to score on handicap/chase debut at Warwick (2m, soft) in November, and followed up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; did it cosily last time and he could still be well treated for his top yard now 7lb higher. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 2lb |
Improved for going chasing this season, winning 3m Newbury handicap and better again when clear second at Uttoxeter over same trip, both on soft ground; potentially still well-handicapped and could go well if handling better ground. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Broadly in good form since switched to chasing and comfortably justified favouritism at Newbury (2m7f, soft) most recently, opening his rules account; may build on that success and show further improvement. |
11/4 |

1st 9 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
A little below his best when a 14l fourth at Windsor (2m6f, soft) but still ran fine and commands considerable respect on his previous runs, over 2m4f at Southwell (soft) and 3m1f at Cheltenham (good to soft); only a 7yo and still early days over fences. |

3rd 6 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Showed clear signs of retaining ability at Leicester last time (second run for new yard and since returning from long absence) but needs to build on that effort; faces a stiffer task upped in class. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won 3yo Listed hurdle in France in June 2022; lightly raced since and tailed off at 22-1 on stable debut and second chase start at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) four weeks ago when back from another absence; not easy to fancy after that latest performance but he's one to watch in the betting. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 11lb |
Three-time hurdles winner is 0-7 chasing, pick of this season's form when placed in 3m1f Carlisle handicap in February; didn't get home on softer ground at Uttoxeter on latest; tough task here upped in trip. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Point/bumper/hurdles winner who remains without the full set, being 0-6 since switched to chasing; couple of creditable efforts in cheekpieces this term but needs progress to defy top weight in this field. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Having ended last season in the doldrums he returned to form when third of five in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on last month's reappearance at Windsor (3m, soft); he goes well fresh so it remains to be seen if he'll improve for that latest outing, but he's respected nevertheless. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who is 2-2 since returning from lengthy absence and switched to chasing, latest win at Kelso (2m5f, heavy); bred to be as effective over this longer trip; respected with further progress plausible. |
7/2 |

1st 2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Promising novice hurdler in 2023-24 campaign and it was his first run since when winning on chase debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; did it nicely and could take an 8lb rise in his stride if backing up that performance. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Improving mare who has form figures of 511, all at Kelso, since switched to fences; made all for 8l win last time (3m2f, good to soft) despite jumping right; in the mix, especially if keeping straighter. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 |
18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Narrow winner of a 2m4f mares' novice hurdle at Ayr (soft) in January; lacked for fluency when down the field on C&D chasing debut (good; 13-2) 24 days ago; Derek Fox takes over in the saddle, with stablemate I Wish You probably of more interest. |
10/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fair form over hurdles last term, winning a mares' novice at Ayr in January (2m4f, soft) and finishing runner-up in a 3m novice handicap on same track the following month (soft); interesting on chase debut. |
9/2 |
