11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Provided yet another example of his yard's prowess in top handicaps when quite comfortably justifying strong market support in the Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month, with seven of today's rivals in behind; raised 9lb but could be capable of even better. |
4/1 |

1st 7 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
No ground issues; promising late gains when third of 17 on stable debut in the Cheltenham qualifier in October; not so hot since but those runs aren't hard to forgive (the latest was over just 2m4f) and he's now 2lb lower than on that eye-catching reappearance; trainer is a dab hand in these Festival handicaps and this 8yo has been favourite for this race for some time. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |

Won for the Newland-Insole stable at Haydock (3m, heavy) last December and signed off for them with a pretty good third at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April; sold for £24,000 since; remains on a career-high mark but had wind surgery during summer break and it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him. |

Dual hurdle winner at about 2m4f (good to soft and good) two winters ago but disappointments have come thick and fast since pulling up on his latest two runs at 3m; goes chasing with inevitable question marks. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Expensive to follow during four-race spell for Harry Derham this year and safely held here (2m7f, good; bled from the nose) on last month's stable debut; had wind op soon after that latest run and now drops back in trip; too risky. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Safely held when favourite for first two stable starts but battled on well for close second in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (3m, good; several fences omitted) this month and remains lightly raced over fences; high on the list. |

Better chaser than hurdler and won by over 8l here last month; a 7lb rise didn't look too harsh and she duly ran well again at Warwick, finding only one too good (again on soft); enters the reckoning. |

9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |

Won her only point; handicap hurdle win came off 2lb higher and she ran two solid races in that discipline before finding only one too good on her switch to fences over C&D 12 days ago (heavy); aided by another low weight, she should have a part to play. |
