20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-10 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m5f at Newton Abbot in October (good to soft; 7lb lower); two further good runs afterwards before finishing tailed off the last time; a record of 7-8 in points bodes well for this switch to fences. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly raced bumper/hurdle winner who ran creditably (second of three) in this race last year on reappearance, then lost any chance with a bad mistake two out at Cheltenham later in October; absent since; leading player, assuming he responds well to fitting of tongue-tie and hood. |

3rd 6 |
24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Point runner-up and bumper winner who won two novice hurdles last season (2m/2m1f, good to soft), including here, and also ran well on soft ground; beaten just under 4l by Alnilam when second of three on his recent chase and seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) but he's 5lb better off with the winner today and could improve for that latest run; firmly in calculations. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Very lightly raced 9yo who has won a bumper and a 2m4f maiden hurdle; he was in last throughout in a three-runner novice chase last week at Newbury when returning from 13 months off; as was the case then, these terms aren't favourable. |

3rd 2 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner; very lightly raced 9yo who seems to enjoy the mud but has a long absence to overcome on his chasing debut and he's the lowest rated of these by some margin. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
0-5 in this first chase campaign but pipped at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January and a close third of 22 in the Ultima at the Festival there (3m1f, good to soft) on latest outing; raised 5lb for this first attempt at a marathon trip but he's relatively unexposed and kept on stoutly in that bold show last time. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 16 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Mixed form during this novice chase campaign but he went very close in handicap here (2m4f, soft) in January and 2m was against him back in novice company at Newbury latest; best performance over hurdles came when winning at 3m at Ayr (good to soft) last April; possible improver now back up in trip. |
9/1 |
