12th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |

Placed in two of his three starts for new stable; remains on career-high mark but Lewis Stones takes off a useful 3lb and record of 1-1 at Taunton bodes well; in the mix. |

3-10 over hurdles; arguably posted career-best form when second on stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in May but ran no race when dropped back to 2m at Stratford last month; needs to put that performance behind him. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not wholly straightforward, but appreciated the return to hurdling sufficiently to record a new personal best in victory at Uttoxeter latest (2m7f, good to soft); blinkers debuted there will need to work at least as well now returned to his previous highest mark; has won on good. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Completed a double over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but he's been up and down since and was pulled up over fences at Chepstow (11-4 favourite) last month; new headgear is now tried and he comes with risks attached back in this sphere. |

Won over C&D (good) last season and has made the frame all three hurdling starts this term, the latest here (2m7f, good to soft) in December; seems versatile ground-wise and, from a workable mark, probably won't be far away. |

Has done her winning at about 2m, latest at Ffos Las in February; soundly beaten on last four starts, with moves back up to about 2m4f/3m for last three; her one piece of 3m form was back in January 2022 but she is back 4lb lower than her last winning mark. |

Second on chase debut in October (2m3f, soft) but finished 0-9 for Gordon Elliott, not always having much luck; heavy defeat at 50-1 three weeks ago on first run for new yard; usual cheekpieces are restored; bit to prove. |

Has left Gordon Elliott with a 0-7 record over hurdles (placed once) and 0-2 over fences, not always having much luck; second on chase debut in October (2m3f, soft) and it was 3m on heavy ground when he pulled up in November latest; cheekpieces on last six starts but not today; Henrietta Knight's first runner since 2012 and of some interest judged on those two placings. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won twice as a novice last season and ended up in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham (tailed off after racing freely); this campaign is going well and he should stay okay as he wasn't stopping when runner-up over Exeter's super-stiff 3m6f in December (soft); the race he won at Wincanton last time (3m1f, heavy; cheekpieces returned) rather fell apart but he did hack up and the 6lb rise could been a whole lot worse; it's a nagging concern that all five wins have been on right-handed tracks but there's lots to like otherwise about this 7yo. |
9/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |

Dual chase winner who goes well in the mud and he could have done with slower ground when a 6l third over C&D on Boxing Day (good to soft); entitled to step up on that effort here and enters the reckoning. |

Scored at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in October on second attempt over fences and brushed two lesser efforts aside with a game, front-running win in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, soft) five weeks ago; up 4lb but stays 3m well and could have more to offer. |

Didn't jump with fluency but took advantage of ease in grade to justify favouritism in a Leicester seller (2m4f, soft) on penultimate start; toiled back in a handicap (Class 4) at Lingfield latest; this is a tough task, even if returning to this shorter trip may suit. |
