15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
None too consistent this season but he did win in small fields at Ffos Las (3m, heavy; made all) and Wetherby (3m, good to soft) last month; this field is much more demanding company on his first venture beyond 3m. |

11st 2lb |
Inconsistent but easily got off the mark over fences at the third attempt in three-runner handicap at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) recently; this is a stronger race but he could have more to offer in this sphere; not ruled out. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to win over fences, but creditable second at Wetherby in March (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces tried); has had wind surgery since fair fourth at Carlisle last month (3m, good; blinkers on); tongue-tie plus cheekpieces this time; chance. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Improved on first chase run when second of four at Wetherby last time (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces first time, wasn't fluent); blinkers now tried; quite interesting. |

2nd 2 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Beaten 13l when fifth of 11 on last month's chase debut at Chepstow (2m7f, soft); however, that performance gives this two-time hurdle winner something to build on and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will help. |

3rd 1 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
He's improved for going chasing this season and made it 2-5 over fences when winning at Exeter (3m, heavy) last month in first-time cheekpieces; his other win came on good to soft; a tongue-tie joins the cheekpieces; this progressive 6yo holds strong claims. |

1st 4 |
20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Has left hurdle form well behind since switched to fences, winning on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f; stays 3m) and solid efforts on both completed starts since; unseated rider when still travelling well in the lead at Doncaster on latest; not yet fully exposed and could play a significant role if handling testing conditions, with cheekpieces now added. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
He's left his hurdle form well behind since switched to fences, winning on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) and good efforts on both starts since, most recently second of four over C&D (soft); solid claims. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Point runner-up who also showed ability over hurdles; tailed off at 17-2 on last month's chase/handicap debut at Chepstow but that was his first run since last April and he may have needed it; wears first-time cheekpieces and the step up in trip could be a firm plus; interesting for in-form yard. |
9/2 |

5th 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Very unexposed 7yo who came second in a soft-ground Irish point in 2023 and made the frame in three maiden hurdles (2m3f-2m4f) last season; makes chase/handicap debut after ten-month absence but good market support will make him of strong interest. |
