8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Bled from the nose when pulled up on chase debut in December; smart novice hurdler around 2m4f last season and no doubting his ability to be very competitive off this mark if he's back on song. |
5/1 |

11st 4lb |
Won well at Carlisle and Sandown (Grade 2 on soft) in first two starts over hurdles and then third in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury and a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (both extended 2m4f); only 6-1 for his handicap debut over 3m at Aintree and departed too early to tell what might have happened; the first-time tongue-tie fitted there is retained; of interest. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Gained a fourth handicap hurdle success when roaring back to form with a clearcut win at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft; Jeriko Du Reponet third) in February; backed that up with a fine third (Jeriko Du Reponet second) of 24 to Doddiethegreat in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft), faring best of those held up; yard is seeking a fourth win in this since 2019. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Chasing type who followed a solid hurdles debut in October by stepping up to win a Newbury novice (about 2m5f, soft) one month later; showed a good attitude that day and it was a fine effort when chasing home No Drama This End in the Grade 1 Challow over that C&D (good) towards the end of December; has work to do to turn those tables but he's the sort to outrun his likely odds. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a four-timer (soft/good to soft) and made it three handicap wins in a row when cruising into the lead in the 2m4f EBF Final at Sandown last month; highly progressive and could play a leading role up in grade. |
7/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Progressing rapidly and completed a hat-trick of hurdles wins at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, coming from rear; more improvement required off 7lb higher mark and that's entirely possible; high on the list. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Irish point winner; couldn't win a bumper but he's looked good in winning two novice hurdles, last time justifying market support with an oh-so-easy win under a penalty at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft; runner-up useful); dangerously unexposed and highly rated in a top yard that's also represented by No Drama This End; interesting, and stamina shouldn't be an issue when he's by Walk In The Park and his dam is a sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Paul Nicholls has won three of the last five runnings of this race; this Irish point winner (good to yielding) left his bumper form behind when comfortably accounting for his penalised market rival in a 2m3f novice at Taunton (heavy); it's difficult to know how good he might be and he commands considerable respect. |
