17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed improvement when creditable third in Wincanton maiden (1m7f, soft) in December, his third start over hurdles, and subsequent fourth in good Taunton handicap (2m, heavy) was better than bare form suggests (nearly lost jockey after penultimate-flight error); doesn't help himself by racing too freely but has a good chance here. |
2/1 |

4th 8 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Progressive form in three maiden hurdles around 2m on good to soft/soft, finishing third of 18 at Wincanton on latest eight weeks ago; has shown a tendency to race keenly but the likely stronger pace in a handicap may help him to settle better; open to further improvement. |
15/2 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
£95,000 3yo; half-brother to 2m3f chase/2m5f hurdle winner Menaggio; 8-1 and hooded for his debut when beaten over 140l at Chepstow (good to soft) in November; was subsequently found to have an irregular heartbeat and he can surely do better. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Posted consistent efforts prior to ready win in Newton Abbot maiden (2m2f, good to soft) last time; may improve further and can't be dismissed, even though Harry Skelton prefers Kadastral. |
16/1 |
|
1st 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Third against useful rivals on first two hurdling starts and he ran another promising race when second of 14 at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month; looked a bit tricky last time but that form puts him firmly in the picture and he would have finished closer but for a bad mistake two out. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Third against useful rivals on both hurdling starts, latterly behind recent Supreme Novices' runner-up Sober Glory at Newbury (2m, good to soft) two months ago; ideally needs to learn to settle better but he's in calmer waters here; leading contender. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 but placed over hurdles on his last three starts (2m, soft/good to soft) and that puts him high on the list in a race that might not take much winning; ran well on good ground in a bumper. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden who has shown better hurdles form, namely third-place finishes over 2m at Newbury and Exeter, since having wind surgery; again holds place claims. |
11/2 |

3rd 10 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Well beaten on both hurdling starts in the autumn but, after a wind op, belied 125-1 odds when third of 11 at Newbury (2m, soft) last month; won't be far away if in similar form again here. |

Showed more in the new blinkers when beaten 13l in a 2m Exeter maiden but produced a lesser performance next time and now goes handicapping with much to prove. |

6th 6 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Displayed improvement and belied huge odds when fourth of 14 at Exeter (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month, his second hurdling start; has each-way claims if able to build on that effort here. |

Bumper efforts make for better reading than his two tailed-off efforts over hurdles; one for another day. |

6th 7 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Placed in all three bumpers, perhaps most notably when second of 15 on soft ground here in December, and wasn't the only one who struggled to keep up with the useful winner when switched to hurdling at Chepstow (2m, soft; beaten 68l) last month; might get closer to the target today. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |

Placed in all three bumpers, perhaps most notably when second of 15 on soft ground at Exeter in December; should have a future over jumps but has useful standard to reach on hurdle debut. |

Not disgraced in useful Newbury maiden on Flat debut in 2023 but wasn't seen again until pulled up (albeit on heavy ground) over hurdles for new stable six weeks ago. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |

His dam was useful on the Flat and this 6yo showed some ability for Alan King in May 2023 on his sole Flat start; however, absent since (wind/gelding operations in interim) and he's probably best watched on his hurdle and stable debut; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

12th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |

Showed some promise with his sixth of 14, albeit beaten about 13l, in Newbury maiden (1m2f) eight weeks ago; looked green and should improve for the experience; out of an AW winner. |

From excellent jumping family and made pretty good start to hurdling career when second (no threat to short-odds winner) at Newton Abbot (2m2f, heavy) last April; returned from break with lesser effort in November, though, and has been absent for another four months since. |
