2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 11lb |
Three-time hurdles winner is 0-7 chasing, pick of this season's form when placed in 3m1f Carlisle handicap in February; didn't get home on softer ground at Uttoxeter on latest; tough task here upped in trip. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Point/bumper/hurdles winner who remains without the full set, being 0-6 since switched to chasing; couple of creditable efforts in cheekpieces this term but needs progress to defy top weight in this field. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Having ended last season in the doldrums he returned to form when third of five in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on last month's reappearance at Windsor (3m, soft); he goes well fresh so it remains to be seen if he'll improve for that latest outing, but he's respected nevertheless. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins and two seconds from his five races for current yard; both the wins were at Newbury, including in clearcut style from Kyntara on heavy going last time out; back up another 5lb but he was fourth in the Grade 1 Stayers' on his only visit to the Festival, admittedly in 2020, but a case can be made for this resurgent 10yo. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Usually runs in better races; stayed on for third at Ascot (2m5f) most recently; defied a 4lb higher mark over C&D last term and looks interesting at this level returned to this scenario; 3-4 in Class 4. |

24th Mar 2024 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Fair fourth of 12 at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in December and he's now 6lb lower; however, this 10yo has been well beaten the last twice, most recently here (2m7f, good to soft), and needs to get back on track. |

7th Mar 2024 Heavy 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Quirky customer who often races lazily; well suited by a slog in the mud and now 11lb lower than when making all at Exeter (2m7f, heavy) 14 months ago but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task. |

25th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly boosted by changed of headgear when winning twice over hurdles last year (3m2f/3m1f, good to soft) but his two runs this year (chase/hurdle) have been below par and he needs to bounce back again. |
