28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Seemed to be running well in first-time blinkers before falling at Carlisle and he then made all the running under Gina Andrews at Market Rasen (3m, good); up 4lb but the blinkers have made a difference and should remain competitive. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Disappointed on first two starts this season but seemed to be running well in first-time blinkers (retained) before falling at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on same mark as for last spring's good-ground win there and has top amateur Gina Andrews booked here; might be the answer. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Opened his account over fences over C&D last April but has failed to fire this season, a remote sixth in 3m3f Market Rasen handicap in December; needs this switch of headgear to spark a resurgence. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Four wins in five races in points, the defeat inflicted by Hunters Yarn at Moig South last autumn; that rival seemed to be getting the upper hand when they both fell three out in the Fairyhouse race won by Five Star Getaway; useful second-string for champion-elect points trainer. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 180y |
12st 0lb |
Wide-margin point winner in 2023; useful hurdler for Paul Nicholls, sold cheaply after two failures over fences; beaten 8l by Hunters Yarn at Moig South on return to pointing; reversed form with the winner at Dromahane and won readily at Carrigarostig in January; intended runner at Cheltenham until withdrawn because of concerns about the ground; valuable 7lb off. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not wholly straightforward, but appreciated the return to hurdling sufficiently to record a new personal best in victory at Uttoxeter latest (2m7f, good to soft); blinkers debuted there will need to work at least as well now returned to his previous highest mark; has won on good. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Completed a double over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but he's been up and down since and was pulled up over fences at Chepstow (11-4 favourite) last month; new headgear is now tried and he comes with risks attached back in this sphere. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won over C&D (good) last season and has made the frame all three hurdling starts this term, the latest here (2m7f, good to soft) in December; seems versatile ground-wise and, from a workable mark, probably won't be far away. |

30th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
No match for winner when remote second of four on last months chasing debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft) but remains very lightly raced, and this half-brother to connections' Welsh National winner Secret Reprieve could be seen in a much better light over today's trip; interesting. |

17th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in a 2m maiden hurdle but ran just okay on his switch to handicaps at Chepstow last month (2m3f); half-brother to the stable's Welsh National winner Secret Reprieve so no surprise to see him sent chasing sooner rather than later; may need further but respected all the same. |

11st 12lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who had been in a good run of form until last time, though the winner of that Hereford race ran well in the Swinton last weekend; can go well if taking to fences. |

Won three on the bounce earlier this season and probably produced even better form in defeat at Kempton recently behind one in form; solid chance. |

Last of four in an Exeter bumper in February; likely to do better over jumps and with a proper test of stamina; best watched here, though. |

£10,000 3yo; fifth foal; closely related to 2m6f-3m5f chase (including Irish National) winner Freewheelin Dylan; dam unraced half-sister to 2m-3m hurdle/smart chase winner Simon out of dual bumper winning half-sister to Gaye Brief and Gaye Chance; yard 0-27 in bumpers in the last five years but had eight in the frame. |
