Just four career starts; won the novice hurdle on this card a year ago but pulled up on handicap debut the following month and absent since; could be a threat if all's well on chasing debut. |

Delivered on earlier promise when game winner of Lingfield novice hurdle (2m3f, soft) a year ago; off since poor run on handicap hurdle debut on New Year's Eve but could have significant untapped potential over fences. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Below form on sole jumps start on heavy; finished strongest when second in the Welsh National at Chepstow (extended 3m6f, soft) in December 2024; won the Trial there in December this season, which is far and away the best of his last four starts but the ground was surely not soft enough for him when he flopped as favourite in the Welsh National last time; major player if this is one of his better days. |

7yo who is narrowly the most lightly raced horse in this field; raised his game upped to 3m5f and an extended 3m4f on soft on last two starts last term, snatching a win at Haydock last time; up another 4lb but gives the very strong impression he will keep on galloping at this trip as well. |

10st 11lb |
Won in a refitted visor at Lingfield (2m6f) in November and runner-up on next three outings, which represents career-best form; still on a fair mark and drying ground won't bother him at all. |

Two-time course winner, the latest here (2m6f, soft) last February, and got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m6f, good) in November; runner-up on both starts since (2m6f, good to soft; here last time); solid candidate. |

Has found improvement from somewhere to win back-to-back 3m2f handicaps with seemingly lots to spare, on soft and good to soft; raised in grade here and hit with 10lb for last time, but this 7yo looks firmly on the upgrade. |

Opened his rules account with a 5l success at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month, taking well to first-time visor on handicap debut; open to further progress at this level and commands respect in the retained headgear. |

Overall strike-rate of 1-28 and the win came over fences; 0-18 over hurdles and has to bounce back from some shoddy efforts; in cheekpieces and a visor for the last two and now goes in blinkers. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Has questions to answer after two disappointing runs in July but is very well suited by this C&D and competes off new career-low mark today; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; dangerous to ignore. |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Well held at big prices in three novice hurdles but he rallied for a respectable third behind the two market leaders at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; this is more realistic on handicap debut and this lightly raced gelding needs a close looks. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |

Bettered inauspicious hurdling debut when respectable eighth over C&D (soft) four weeks ago and can probably improve again in due course but has quite a bit to find with the principals here. |

Pulled up in his two most recent handicaps (over hurdles and fences) and a recent 10l second in a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces, retained today) came in a race that took little winning; lots to prove back up in trip with further rain not ideal. |

Only beaten about 2l when fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day and was pulled up early the next time when sent off favourite; interesting now sent over fences, as a close relative of the stable's good chaser Le Reve. |

11st 8lb |
Goes up in trip and could do with settling better than when soundly beaten at Sandown (2m4f) last month; however, the heavy ground may have been too much and he was progressive there previously, with a win and a near-miss (both 2m4f on good to soft); his dam won at up to 3m and he could get back on track with a big performance for his top trainer. |

11th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |

Improved form in novice handicaps over C&D (good to soft) last month, beating Twinjets then head second to Inneston; evidently well suited by this track and trip; one of three solid-looking contenders for Paul Nicholls and should go well again. |

With a leading trainer but he was pulled up in both bumpers and was 12l behind third-placed Clapton Hill when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell most recently; dramatic improvement is required. |
