Travelled well before being delivered after the final fence by Brian Hughes to win cosily over 3m at Carlisle (heavy); he'll be into unknown territory when beyond 3m1f but shapes as though he stays all day. |

4th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted a win then a near-miss over hurdles last April (2m3f/2m6f, good to soft); unable to match that form over fences this season but she was a fair fourth at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in December and has had a wind op since being pulled up last time; no surprise if she goes well now back hurdling. |

11st 12lb |
Finished 3l fourth in similar event at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago, producing her best effort since switched to chasing; looks favourably weighted on best hurdles form and can't be ruled out. |

10st 4lb |
No wins in 11, with seven over fences; however, did finish second after wind surgery at Carlisle (2m5f, good) and could build on that, for all that it was some 178 days ago. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won three points in spring 2024 but, following a long absence, has been pulled up on all three starts under rules for new stable this season; has too much to prove. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won three points in May/June 2024 but then absent until this winter, and he's been pulled up over fences (50-1) then hurdles (33-1) on his two outings this season; a major turnaround is necessary. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won three points in 2024 but his rules form has been regressive and he ran poorly over fences on his reappearance/stable debut; blinkers on; carries clear risks. |

11st 6lb |
Made all in small-field novice handicap hurdle at Southwell (2m4f, heavy; comfortably off 6lb lower) four weeks ago, adding to his Flat wins; possibilities provided he's just as effective over fences; tongue-tie applied. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Far from reliable since completing a hurdles hat-trick in November 2020 for previous yard; has left it late to commence his chasing career and this 10yo is not a solid proposition. |
