25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
2-3 over fences after back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (2m5f, good; 3m, good to soft); won quite well the last time so a 4lb rise seems more than fair; that last win was in May. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Placed over hurdles; only his second run over fences when doing it fairly comfortably here two weeks ago (2m5f, good; fine on softer) and he promises to stay this far; every chance off a 6lb higher mark. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed over hurdles and again on his chase debut at Exeter when fitted in a first-time hood; that aid is missing here but stepping up from 2m3f looks favourable. |

2nd 1 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who won on only his second run over fences at Southwell (3m, good), cosily by 3l; good chance off 6lb higher but might not appreciate too much rain (good to soft would be acceptable). |
2/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Successful in a bumper (good) and course maiden hurdle (good to soft) in the first half of 2024; bettered that winning course form when twice reaching the frame over hurdles much later that year; pulled up when switched to fences for his comeback run at Taunton seven weeks ago but it's possible the heavy ground was against him given his form has come under less testing conditions. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Two wins this year at Worcester, the latest only narrowly after wind surgery (2m7f, good; 4lb lower); ran a laboured race last time but clearly a contender if on his game. |
9/4 |

15th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins at Worcester this year; beaten a neck by Mt Fugi Park (1lb worse off) in between; had wind surgery after that defeat, so may come out on top this time. |
7/4 |

1st 3 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Remote third to Gata Ban here in June when in this headgear combination for the first time (retained since) but he won narrowly on his return visit and nearly followed up a month ago; 4lb higher than for that defeat but this lightly raced gelding has since had a wind operation. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Got off the mark on his stable debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in March with the aid of first-time cheekpieces (retained since) off 4lb lower; back over hurdles after a couple of unsuccessful efforts over fences; holds claims if running to his best form. |
