13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
12l third in Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (2m4f) last April; back from chasing for 3m handicap hurdles on last two outings, always close up when second of 11 at Musselburgh (again good to soft) last time; up 2lb but, in this second season under rules, no shock if he has more to give. |

2nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
12l third in Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (2m4f) last April; back from chasing when creditable third of six off this mark at Doncaster five weeks ago on his step up to 3m; closely matched with runner-up Pyffo on that result and he could have more to offer as a stayer. |

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 |

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 |
11st 3lb |
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. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Started the season over fences and that didn't go well; his fifth over C&D in January was encouraging but again failed to fire at Ascot; there's a competitive show in him should the new cheekpieces (on for a visor) trigger something. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Began season with two below-par chase runs in the autumn but gave good account when fifth of 17 over hurdles at Newbury (3m, good to soft; first-time visor) last month and will be fine on the slower ground here. |
16/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Modest efforts this term, taking chase record to 0-6; rallied to win at Southwell (2m4f) on last hurdles attempt, taking strike-rate in this sphere to 2-5; revival possible, provided he takes well to added visor. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage maiden who's been second or third in handicaps on all three chase outings, absent 590 days after first of those; rallied strongly when third of seven at Leicester (2m7f, soft) one month ago, which suggests that this step back up in trip is very much in order; one to consider. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Low-mileage maiden who ran well on chase debut in June 2024 (penultimate start) and may be capable of progress with Hereford reappearance under his belt; one to consider. |

Pulled up in a maiden point, well beaten in bumpers and over hurdles; makes chasing debut but difficult to recommend. |

18th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Modest form in bumpers and he's struggled at big prices in his three runs over hurdles (2m4f); hood worn in last three starts is now removed and he needs a transformation on handicap debut. |

17th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Pedigree mostly about the Flat but one sibling is smart jumper The Jam Man; worth a market check but likely best watched on belated debut. |
