Winning hurdler but seen mostly on the Flat in recent times and the AW has always been more his scene; asked a stiff question on this belated return to jumps action. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won over hurdles on stable debut in September and was third in valuable chase at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December; struggled in heavy-ground hurdle last month but he's better than that and now returns to fences on a good mark; might be the answer. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
3m winner over fences in Ireland and made a winning debut for this yard over hurdles in September (2m5f, good to soft); his subsequent defeats, all over 3m and divided between hurdles and fences, suggest his current mark is on the high side. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Lightly raced since winning two novice hurdles for Gordon Elliott in autumn 2022; however, he's hard to fancy on what he's shown subsequently. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A fairly useful 2m-winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott in 2022 but very lightly raced subsequently and has offered little for his current yard, pulled up over C&D 11 months ago; hard to warm to. |

In decent form over fences in July for the late Edward O'Grady; more recent form provides limited encouragement. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made it fourth-time lucky over fences when beating two rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) in March; fell at the 12th at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month but he's was still travelling well at the time and he should have more to offer as a chaser; respected. |
5/2 |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
3-13 over hurdles; only his fourth start as a chaser when too strong for two rivals over 2m at Chepstow a month ago (soft; 3lb lower); this quicker ground won't bother him at all and neither might the longer trip; good claims. |
7/4 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Second of four on chase debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last July and returned to form when third of six at Kempton (2m2f, good) in October last time; won on heavy ground on the Flat in 2023 but best jumps form has come on good to soft or quicker; in with a chance if conditions suit. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Gave good account when third of 12 in C&D (good to soft) selling handicap in May but has modest 1-22 strike-rate over hurdles and ran poorly when last in action; others appeal more. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Bumper/hurdle winner; still relatively early days with this yard and not beaten too far in either run following a break; on a competitive mark. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with Mark Walford all that long and returned from break with respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) this month; ought to cope if the ground eases here; shortlisted. |

Showed little in three maiden starts before shock 25-1 win at Kilbeggan in May; soundly beaten in handicap company at Cork since; may fare better in this company but this is a tough ask. |
