14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
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. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
He was a hard ride over C&D last month (good) but on top when it mattered and his record here now reads 2111; raised 4lb but a greater concern is whether he'll be up for it. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Needs to rebound, having been out of form since the turn of the year; however, has a record of 211 at Plumpton, most recently winning off just 1lb lower in November; return to this venue may have positive effect; goes without headgear for first time in a while. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Front-runner whose record of 4-14 over hurdles includes two wins this term; ran right up to his best when second at Ascot (2m5f, soft) in December but he's lost his way with heavy defeats in last two run; now drops back into a Class 4 event but he needs to get back on track. |

Ended 2025 with two wins, the latter in four-runner contest at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft); 5lb higher in a much deeper race here but evidently in very good nick. |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in Irish maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) and fair fourth towards the end of last year on first two rules starts (2m4f/2m7f, good to soft/heavy); improvement needed on handicap debut but he's very lightly raced and in good hands to progress. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in an Irish point and then bought for £25,000; it was a decent novice hurdle in which he was beaten 12l at Plumpton (2m4f) and this trip on a stiffer track should work in his favour. |
6/1 |

6th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Kept on well for third on Irish point debut in April 2022 and was bought by Kim Bailey for £25,000 the following month; that form hasn't worked out well and this rules debut comes after a 561-day absence. |

12th Dec 2023 Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
There's potential in his pedigree and the way he kept on for a 19l fifth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month suggests he could improve for this step up in trip on handicap debut; could be a leading player. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdle winner who made it third-time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism at Huntingdon (extended 2m7f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb but he was as good as ever with that clearcut win and is open to more progress at staying trips; big player in new headgear. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winning hurdler but a hard ride and needed lots of driving before staying on into third on his second chase start at Fontwell two weeks ago (2m5f, good); at least he arrives in some form and this longer trip is worth a go. |

24th Mar 2024 Good 2m 7f 118y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Not disgraced in any of his three qualifying races (all 2m4f) but was beaten about 33l when fifth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in January and is difficult to enthuse over after that. |

28th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Not disgraced in any of his three qualifying races, the last two in good-quality 2m4f Newbury novices; in much calmer waters for today's handicap debut and ought to get much more competitive this time. |

22l sixth of 12 when 150-1 over C&D (good to soft) last time was improvement but he's surely best watched until going handicapping. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
0-8 over hurdles but returned from 11-month break with fairly good second here (2m5f, good to soft; no match for winner) 12 days ago and could plausibly still have untapped potential over this longer trip. |
9/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Very nearly won over C&D last January and that was only three starts ago; feasible excuses since then as probably failed to stay 3m1f and then bled here when last seen a year ago; ability respected but there are wellbeing issues after so long out. |

Three places before stopping quickly and pulling up at Newton Abbot (3m2f, heavy; handles that ground) last time and his jumping wasn't the best; not overly appealing from 5lb out of the weights. |

11st 2lb |
Progressive over hurdles in 2024, winning three times, but missed 2025 and has been pulled up in two chases this year; combination of return to better ground and first-time cheekieces might aid a revival but others in this field have much less to prove. |

Completed a hurdles hat-trick in 2024 but was then absent until achieving nothing switched to to chasing last month; had wind surgery since; difficult to ascertain exactly how much ability he retains. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In excellent form in second half of 2024, winning three good-ground handicap hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) in a row; also has form on slower ground and could quite plausibly have more improvement to come over fences at some stage but this chasing debut comes after a 458-day absence. |
