12st 6lb |
Used to like it here, not out of the first three in five starts including over fences and when winning a novice hurdle in 2023; first start for this yard when far from disgraced in Taunton hunter chase (about 2m5f, good) in January but his 20l defeat at Cocklebarrow (3m) later that month was disappointing; still not ruled out. |

12st 1lb |
Better known as a chaser and he hasn't been able to exploit his lower hurdle mark in two starts this year, tailed off last time at Doncaster (2m5f, good); has never run over this far either so has plenty to prove. |

All seven wins (five chasing) on good or quicker ground; however, had his conditions when pulled up after a 62-day break at Hereford and now returns from a similar one. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner but he's struggled at massive prices in three Flat runs (1m/1m2f) on Polytrack; now switches to a low-grade handicap but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f. |
25/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner who has offered very little in his two runs on the Flat. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner, but sent off 400-1 when well beaten on his belated Flat debut over C&D in October; no appeal on first start since. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Romped home in a Ballinrobe handicap in May 2022 (for Henry De Bromhead) but unplaced in five subsequent starts, the latest when tried in cheekpieces in August; bought last month for £10,000 and possibly best watched. |
