11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Made a good start over fences for new connections, winning at Carlisle (2m, good) in October and second in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (2m3f, soft); mistakes crept in when below that level twice since and he now reverts to hurdling; sixth of 17 in this last year off an identical mark. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Made a good start over fences for new connections, winning at Carlisle (2m, good) in October and finishing second in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (2m3f, soft); let down by his jumping in competitive handicap at Cheltenham last time but he's in shallower waters here and should be thereabouts. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 122 switched to fences this term for new yard and the form has received a few boosts; ran well on the figures, albeit no match for winner, in Grade 2 at Ascot (2m3f, soft) most recently; brings solid claims back to handicap level. |

11th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful mare who completed the full jumps set with her commanding performance in Listed novice event at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft; second chase attempt) last month, adding to her point, bumper and hurdle wins; acts on soft; major contender even with 5lb penalty back against males. |

12th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Ran well in defeat in Graded novice hurdles on final two starts last season (2m4f/3m, soft) and reappeared with respectable third of three against males on chase debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) in October; the return to a left-handed track could suit and she's one to consider. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins over fences came in March 2025; his season never took off last term and he arrives here on a career-low mark (11lb below last win); first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; needs to show more. |
8/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
He's now 13lb below his peak mark but hasn't been at his best this season and didn't show much when back on good ground (3m) three weeks ago; won over 3m7f last March but there may be more solid options. |
14/1 |

8th 5 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
He hasn't been at his best this season but he didn't run badly in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Sandown (3m, soft) recently and could build on that now back on better ground, with last season's two wins coming on good/good to firm; now 6lb below last winning mark; interesting. |

27th Jan 2024 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Likely that he failed to give his true running when a remote fourth at Warwick (2m5f, soft) having previously looked good in winning on good ground at Exeter (2m2f); remains a horse of interest and his dam won over this far. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Always behind when switched to fences and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut at Exeter (2m1f, good) last month; not bred to benefit from today's hike up in trip and clearly needs to take a big step forward but he represents a respected stable and remains very unexposed. |

Hasn't shown much in a bumper and three hurdles at up to 2m5f; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie for chase debut; in good hands and on a workable mark but need to see more from him. |

Finished last on bumper debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in March 2022 then absent until Warwick (2m5f, soft) last month, when down the field over hurdles; may be one for further down the line. |
