1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Useful in his prime for Henry Daly but left that yard on a low note; soundly beaten in chases on his first two starts for this stable but took a step back in the right direction returned to hurdles in first-time blinkers when rallying third of eight over the extended 2m4f at Plumpton (good to soft) 23 days ago; needs to prove he can build on that with the blinkers left off in favour of refitted cheekpieces. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Useful in his prime but left Henry Daly after a poor run over fences in February 2025 and was soundly beaten in two chases for this stable towards end of last year; needs combination of new headgear and return to hurdling to rekindle his enthusiasm. |

Ex-Henry Daly; quite a useful novice hurdler but didn't progress; sound run on chase debut in October 2023 but rather disappointing since; bit to prove after a break on stable debut. |

Launched chasing career with three good runs last season but fell next time and suffered heavy defeats in his three starts since; this should be a good mark but plenty now seems to depend on January's wind surgery. |

10th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Launched chasing career with three good runs last season, most notably when chasing home subsequent dual Grade 1 runner-up Ginny's Destiny at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in January; holds strong claims here if judged on that evidence but was a disappointing favourite when returned to Cheltenham for seasonal debut in October and needs to rebound. |

11st 12lb |
Last season was one to remember, winning the Welsh National and later second in the Grand National Trial at Haydock; 0-4 this campaign but it's been anything but a washout and he should be dangerous off this mark, for all that he's made his name over further. |

Won last season's Welsh National (extended 3m6f, soft) off 3lb lower and second in the Grand National Trial at Haydock; near that form on second start this term, before a lesser show (weak in the market) in the Surrey National at Lingfield; needs to be back at his peak and there are mixed messages. |

Changed hands for £140,000 after landing an Irish point but he has cut little ice in three runs over hurdles for his current yard, coming in a remote fifth at Wetherby (2m4f) last time; he needs to take a sizeable step forward now fitted with a tongue strap. |
