1st 2 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner who has finished in the first three on all four hurdle starts (soft/good to soft), most recently third on handicap debut in the competitive EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f); strong claims on the back of that. |
11/8 |

3rd 16 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won an Irish point but is 0-3 over hurdles, put firmly in place by Cinquenta at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) five weeks ago; one of two runners for Olly Murphy and Scorpio Rising looks the first string. |
16/1 |

2nd 4 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Irish point winner; placed behind useful rival on rules debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in October and not discredited when clear second of four behind next-time-out winner there three weeks later; major player. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
In the frame on four of his five hurdling starts since switched to current stable in the autumn and beat two rivals to score on recent chasing debut at Cartmel (2m5f, good); nudged up only 1lb for that and has another big role to play here. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Had three wind operations, the latest prior to him chasing home the favourite in a maiden hurdle at Perth a month ago (2m4f); he nearly won last year's EBF Final at Sandown when with Alan King, so has some class about him; won his only point and should do well over fences. |
11/10 |
|
2nd 7 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up in Haydock handicap in February to make it 0-12 under rules; had wind operations before and after that latest run; arrives with something to prove but he has lots of good placed form and is a leading contender if back on song; the tongue-tie adopted last time is left off. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Showed some ability in a bumper and on hurdle debut but pulled up over hurdles on his last three starts and he would be a surprise winner. |
100/1 |

5 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has shown some ability but a reproduction of his best form would prove insufficient today and he's been pulled up on his last two starts. |
50/1 |

2 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Half-brother to 2m7f/3m1f hurdle winner Miss Fairfax (RPR 125); has shown some ability but not enough to suggest he'll make an impact today. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |

Has dismal claims on form; steps up in trip but easy to looks elsewhere. |
