4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Pulled up three consecutive times after his two good-ground wins (3m/3m5f) in March 2025; back on a good mark now and was seemingly perked up by first-time visor when close fourth of six (just behind Enjoy d'Allen) at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month but overall profile remains unconvincing. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |

Has five wins over fences, including over C&D, but has been pulled up on his last three starts; back on last winning mark and first-time visor now goes on but he comes with risks. |

Won this last year (good) and followed up at Warwick (3m5f, good) a week later; also effective on good to soft ground; pulled up on final two starts last season but can go well fresh and is not ruled out on his return. |

Twice placed over hurdles but needs to get back on song as he was disappointing on his chase debut before finishing a remote second back hurdling in a Fontwell maiden; good ground is an unknown. |

11st 13lb |
Started off for Harry Derham with two good hurdle runs (the first a 3m win) towards end of last year and was very respectable sixth in valuable handicap on latest outing in February; has an Irish point win on his CV and looks a very interesting recruit to chasing. |

Progressive 2212 record in handicap hurdles; scored in gritty fashion at Ascot (nearly 3m1f) in November and put up another most tenacious performance when beaten a head, having made most, over an extended 2m7f there (again on good; probably acts on soft) one month later; up another 5lb but surely won't go down without a fight. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
With James Owen for 18 months (Scottish National fourth in April) before joining this yard; Borders National win at Kelso (4m, soft) in December was his best form for nearly two years and he kept jumping to his right, so reverting to a right-handed track today may well help; back up 5lb but shortlisted. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |

Won over hurdles in December in a first-time visor, which he also wore next time and returns today; well held with first-time blinkers in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham one month ago, taking sixth in that 3m2f race for the second year running; new trip but he's not persuasive. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |

Four-time chase winner who was out of sorts when last seen in the autumn, most recently when pulled up on return to hurdling; had another wind op (his fourth) during 168-day break; needs to get career back on track. |

In good form over fences in the autumn, bar a blip at Perth in October; 0-11 over hurdles but twice finished second in this sphere and often runs well after a break; entitled to respect. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when dominating from the front here (2m4f, good) last month, his second start for Laura Morgan, and ran big race in defeat under penalty at Southwell (2m4f, good) a few days later; effectively another 5lb higher today but sure to be suited by the move back up in trip; good chance. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
All-the-way Kempton 3m winner in early 2024 and, with stamina to spare at intermediate trips and the benefit of wind surgery, was played equally aggressively in victory at Perth last week (good); 2lb badly in under the penalty but still superbly handicapped on that previous winning form. |

Eight-time Flat winner (1m2f-2m) who has yet to make a similar impact over hurdles and hasn't been seen in this sphere since pulling up over 2m4f here last April; others make more obvious appeal. |
