8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Bled from the nose when pulled up on chase debut in December; smart novice hurdler around 2m4f last season and no doubting his ability to be very competitive off this mark if he's back on song. |

1st May 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Won well at Carlisle and Sandown (Grade 2 on soft) in first two starts over hurdles and then third in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury and a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (both extended 2m4f); only 6-1 for his handicap debut over 3m at Aintree and departed too early to tell what might have happened; the first-time tongue-tie fitted there is retained; of interest. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
0-7 but he ran his best race so far when front-running second in a chase handicap at Taunton (2m, good to soft; cheekpieces added) last month; that was only his second run over fences and he's a big player if he can build on that. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who has had two races since returning from a year out and his handicap/chase debut at Bangor last time was forgettable; now in cheekpieces and others look safer. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but ran his best race this season with cheekpieces added when an 11l third of six over C&D two weeks ago on his first try at this far; should be thereabouts if repeating the effort. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Still a maiden over hurdles but produced one of his best results over 2m5f, the longest distance he's tackled; modest third over 2m1f last time; combination of new trip and first-time headgear may have positive effect. |
8/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-6 over hurdles but ran well in all three handicaps last season, most recently when second (albeit well held) behind heavily backed rival at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in February; at least each-way claims if ready to roll. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Acts on any ground; ran as if something was amiss on penultimate start; consistent otherwise and ran creditably at Sandown (2m7f) latest; each-way possibilities in first-time tongue-tie. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Ran creditably sole start here; won at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) on reappearance in just his second handicap and stuck to his task extremely well when going close in a major handicap at Haydock (3m, good to soft) later in November; something seemed amiss at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day but the Haydock performance ensures that he needs a second look. |
4/1 |

1st 10 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 218y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Newbury novice winner who maintained his momentum when runner-up on handicap debut at Windsor in January (2m4f, soft); should progress further this season and there's upside to his current mark. |

12th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Strong late on when held by under 1l at Leicester last month (2m4f, heavy), settling far better; three flops beforehand so needs to prove able to back up that effort, but looks the part as a chaser (imposing type). |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Bumper winner; achieved nothing last time (3m; handicap/chase debut) but is bred to do better still, being from a family that has served his trainer well; not written off. |
9/1 |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won his bumper here; has failed to build on an encouraging first run over hurdles but he's bred to make a chaser and this is his first handicap. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time hurdle winner but below her best in that discipline for current yard and again when a remote third on chase debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces after wind surgery); others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Hurdles form has dipped sharply for new yard but has she possibilities provided the combination of first-time cheekpieces, switch to fences and a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) prompts a revival; back on last winning mark. |
15/2 |

10th 1 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time winner (once over C&D) on good ground for Keiran Burke last spring but pulled up on stable debut in December and came last of six at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last month; needs to get career back on track. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to run well at Kelso (three attempts) and well beaten at Catterick last time; however, he had an excuse (bled from the nose) and he won three times in the winter (2m1f/2m3f, soft/good to soft); not written off. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Has won over C&D (good to soft/soft) on his last two starts to make it three wins from his last four outings; did it in good style a fortnight ago and a 7lb rise may not stop this thriving 6yo. |
11/4 |

1st 7 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

Has won two of his last three races, the latest over C&D last month (good to soft); back up another 4lb (10lb rise in total); each-way contender. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back to form in handicaps as recent figures would imply; did go up 7lb for the win at Hereford (2m3f, good) and only third next time, but has shown before that this mark is workable; likes to lead and this drop back in trip could work. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Back to form on last three starts (about 2m4f, variety of ground) and latest saw her get off the mark at 15th attempt, doing so by 9l from the front in a six-runner race at Hereford on Monday; carries 7lb penalty in a larger field but should have a huge shout as an in-form candidate against unpersuasive rivals. |
6/5 |
|
1st 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
14-race maiden but has returned to something near best on last two starts, finishing runner-up on both occasions, tried in a tongue-tie at Windsor (2m4f, good to soft) in November and without it at Plumpton (near 2m5f, soft) in February after a break; workable mark and should go well again. |
