11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't looked a natural in his five chases (beaten favourite in Kim Muir last time) but he did very well over hurdles in cheekpieces last spring, finishing second to stablemate Doddiethegreat in the Pertemps at Cheltenham before getting the better of him at Punchestown (2m7f, yielding); could stage a revival back over hurdles. |

He hasn't looked a natural in his four chases; however, on the two previous occasions he wore these cheekpieces he ran mighty races in hot handicap hurdles last spring (including runner-up in the Pertemps Final here) and top Irish amateur Derek O'Connor rides today; respected. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Just two starts this season and down the field in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last month; however, prior to that he was a creditable third of four in the Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) and he was a progressive handicapper last term (various ground); not discounted. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Won a valuable handicap hurdle at Windsor (2m, soft) last winter and probably would have been placed in two others but for falling at the last; showed more than enough to think he retains all of his ability when third of four to Alexei in the Grade 2 Kingwell at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) on reappearance four weeks ago; entitled to come on for that. |

3rd 4 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Overall record of 5-12, including three wins at around 2m over hurdles (good to soft/soft); his last win was at Windsor last January but he fell at the last in a major handicap at Newbury the following month and has been on the sidelines since; has something to prove after a year off and this looks tough on the figures. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In the form of his life this winter with a win at Lingfield (1m4f) in February and close calls in his other three outings; those were on AW, which does seem to suit him particularly well, and also in handicaps, which leaves him with something to find in his first Group venture. |
40/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth in this last year on sole previous visit to Newcastle and he's now 3lb higher; went close on first two starts this winter before winning at Lingfield (1m4f) in February; could run well but may prefer a longer trip. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Gave good account when close third in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) last month and perhaps not helped by the heavy ground when a beaten favourite next time; only 1-12 as a chaser but he's in the mix. |
5/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Just 1-11 over fences but gave good account when close third in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) last month and should be fine on the slower ground here; one to consider. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Made all in small-field Newton Abbot chase (2m, good to soft) in September and put a below-par run behind him when respectable third at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) on Boxing Day but others appeal more all the same; moves back up in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair hurdler who made a satisfactory chasing debut here (2m, good to soft) in December and created good impression when readily winning a competitive Windsor handicap (2m6f, soft) three weeks ago; does not look harshly treated by a 6lb rise and commands respect. |
4/5 |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Two-time hurdle winner, the latest at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in November, and ran respectably in the face of a very tough task on last month's chase debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft); has hinted he could be suited by this sort of trip and he's not ruled out now back in a handicap. |
