Achieved nothing on return from layoff last time but may well prove resurgent returned to Hereford with the outing under his belt, being 3-3 here (2m/2m5f); new trip is the question mark. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Dual chase winner who has been running better than his recent heavy defeats may imply and he's on a good mark with Harry Cobden booked; off since October. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f chase winner at Hereford (good) in the spring; well beaten over 3m at Ludlow 12 days ago and needs to rebound quickly from that, but ran much better than bare form suggests when last of six (behind Alien Storm) at Fontwell (2m3f, good) two starts ago and can't be ruled out. |

Subject of a gamble when runner-up at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in January, but hasn't matched that effort since including on his first start back with his former trainer (following a second wind operation) at Fakenham (2m, good) last month; others preferred. |

Won a 1m claimer on soft at Gowran in May 2023; best run over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice for this yard in January (2m, good to soft); not done as well for two different trainers over hurdles and on the Flat since; on a good mark and interesting back with Tony Charlton having had wind surgery. |

29th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Favourite for bumper debut at Ludlow in October but never in the picture; has run in better hurdle races than this in the meantime, at Sandown and Kempton, and has hinted at ability; considered down in class. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Has shown only the odd sign of ability over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut last month; 5lb out of the handicap back hurdling; cheekpieces (tried once) join the tongue-tie of last three starts. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner who made it second time lucky over fences when beating seven rivals in a Bangor handicap (2m2f, soft) last month; up 5lb but he turned things around with that comfortable success and should have more to offer in this sphere; key player. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has run well on good/good to soft but reportedly benefited from switch to heavy ground when bouncing back to form to win by 7l at Ffos Las last month; subsequent 5lb rise is not excessive but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Back to within 1lb of the mark for December 2024's Hereford win (2m, good to soft), and only one of just three starts since has been over this short a trip; possibilities if sharp enough after five months out. |

Ended 2024 with narrow win at Hereford (2m, good to soft) and returned from break with two fairly good runs at Stratford (2m2f/2m) this summer; needs to find extra here but is unexposed over the trip. |

Tenth foal; half-sister to point/2m chase winner Doc Carver; dam unraced half-sister to very useful 2m5f-3m5f (including Aintree Fox Hunters') chase winner Trust Fund; probably one to watch on belated debut. |

Displayed a significant jolt of improvement when winning by over 6l at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in December, her third handicap, and posted another good effort when keeping-on second at Exeter (2m2f, good) last month; has stamina in her pedigree and commands respect on this first attempt at 3m. |

Pedigree more about the Flat although one sibling was a winning hurdler; from a leading yard and should come on for her bumper debut at Musselburgh last month when not beaten too far; hurdle debut. |
