1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two small-field wins around 3m on good in the autumn; went off the boil subsequently but very much back on his game when second of 11 at Chepstow 17 days ago; raised 5lb for pulling clear of the rest but it looks justified given the third was successful back at Chepstow last week. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has pretty good 6-16 strike-rate over fences but all those wins (and his hurdle win) were gained on right-handed tracks and this is his first appearance since February 2025; entitled to benefit from this outing. |
9/1 |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual hurdle winner (2m4f) for Paul Nicholls and he won a good-ground point when last seen in May; well handicapped on his old hurdling form but he's been pulled in two previous runs over fences and has bit to prove back in this sphere for new yard; first-time visor. |
7/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner at about 2m4f (good to soft and good) two winters ago but disappointments have come thick and fast since pulling up on his latest two runs at 3m; goes chasing with inevitable question marks. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Scored at Chepstow (3m2f) in October but he turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up in 3m5f Fakenham handicap chase in December; cheekpieces are reached for now and he's the sort to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Scored by 4l in conditional jockeys' race at Chepstow (3m2f, good to firm) last Sunday, taking chase record to 6-16; escapes a penalty and commands respect. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent gelding on his favoured good ground, winning twice this year in small fields; beaten 9l into second in another last time but there's a big run in him. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
In great form on good ground this spring, winning twice and running well in between; raised only a further 2lb for Wincanton performance (3m1f) last time; likely to remain competitive. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won three times over hurdles; has had a break and makes chasing debut; any market move should be noted. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

3rd 6 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Seemed to run well when second of three in tactical race at Cartmel (3m1f, good) on Monday and remains 2lb lower than when winning for another stable in January but others appeal more all the same. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Former pointer/hunter chaser who won a Sedgefield handicap (3m2f, good to soft) off 2lb higher for Ruth Jefferson in January; not quite in same form on first four starts for new stable and fell on latest outing a week ago but it's difficult to put a line through him. |
4/1 |
