14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair level of form at about 2m4f over hurdles, winning a maiden at Windsor (good to soft) in November; well-fourth in Huntingdon Listed race latest but should be much more competitive with his sights lowered. |
9/2 |

4th 5 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Unraced on soft/heavy; fair level of form at about 2m4f over hurdles, with win at Windsor flanked by third-place finishes; has something to find upped in grade but ticks one significant box, being the only runner who is already proven over this sort of distance under rules. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Justified favouritism in novice at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but hasn't managed to build on that in his two outings since, albeit it was the Grade 1 Challow on the first occasion; will need to resume his progression to take this. |

4th 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Justified favouritism at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November, building on reappearance effort; came up short in the Challow since but enters calculations back down in class, even with 8lb penalty; tongue-tie fitted. |
7/2 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Irish point winner who joined new connections for £140,000; beaten favourite in a Kempton bumper (soft) but could have done with a truer pace; presumably showing the right signs at home to be sent here for hurdling debut. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Drew 12l clear to make winning rules debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October and also ran well on next two outings, albeit a late faller on first occasion; might have to settle for a minor role in this deep race, though. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner who rewarded strong market support with 12l win on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft; made all) in October; fading in second when falling at the last at Leicester (extended 2m4f, soft) the following month but it was behind a useful sort; has had wind surgery ahead of this first start for 104 days; can go well. |
11/4 |

1st 3 |
31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark in Irish points at third attempt, with soft-ground win last November, and subsequently changed hands for £80,000; no surprise if he poses a potent threat on this rules debut. |

Pulled up in two maiden hurdles since returning from lengthy layoff; big outsider. |

11th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Bought for £45,000 after going close in his second Irish point and the winner went in again next time; warrants a market check. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
3m Irish point winner who was beaten at short odds on his Ascot hurdle debut but made no mistake at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in December; that form has worked out quite well and there's almost certainly more to come, particularly over this sort of trip. |
